This is a locomotive I made in Scrap Mechanic and ported to Trainz as my first attempt at making a Trainz asset.
This is version 1.0 and its kinda meh, but i will slowly improve it over time. Lore: The Malaxa 153E, nicknamed Electroliza, was a 2-10-6T , liquid fired, tank engine built at the Malaxa Locomotive works in Bucharest between 1933 and 1939, in a total of 100 units.
It had a technical top speed of 180 km/h, but was limited to 140 km/h during service due to safety concerns. It was primarely used on fast short to medium distance fast services in the Romanian Empire.
One interesting aspect of this locomotive its ability to produce steam in two ways: One by burning liquid fuels and the other via the overhead pantograph, this being used on the early electrified lines in interwar period Romania (in my universe).
This is the V2.0 Restomod version. This loco, 153E.003 was restored by my OC's grandpa, King Victor VII of the Royal Federation of Arkadia in 2045, with the help of the EAPHV (European Association for the Preservation of Historical Vehicles), later further modified by my OC, Eliza, in 2051 and 2053, also helped by the EAPHV.
It had multiple modifications done to it, including heavy automation, turning it into a sort of ASTL (Advanced Steam Technology Locomotive) and upgraded to a higher operation pressure after original experimental plans from 1935.
Due to this, its able to reach 200 km/h, but can only sustain it for a maximum of 2 minutes before it runs out of fuel.
This loco is owned by Eliza and is ocasionally used to pull both private & excursion trains.
PS: For now, there is no airhorn sound, will be added in the next update alongside a new whistle sound.
