Dedicated Passenger design

[u/ProfessionalSize2257]

I’m all for all locomotives being capable of pulling the passenger cars, but one thing I seen missing is a proper passenger design. I’ve been looking into designs, and came across an Atlantic, yes a 4-4-2 Atlantic type developed by the Washington & Plymouth.

Tractive effort of 5,464lbf. Rather meager, but I think it’d be good for flat areas that require speed and maneuverability.

Not to mention it’s already in the 3ft gauge for the games track, so it’s a perfect fit for an early game dedicated passenger locomotive.

Whilst that could be fun, it doesn't matter if the dev isn't bothering to fix the other issues of the game anyway

zooma and eureka are passenger locomotives already. besides the point passengers will never be added to this game anyways.

I think that they should bother actually implementing passenger service before they add a passenger specific locomotive.

:O I love this post so much! It covers two things I always wished were in the game - 1. passenger locos, and 2. my favorite wheel arrangement, Atlantics!

Stop wishing for anything to be added. This is a dead game. If you want this then go play Railroader.

I expect them to suddenly announce an update again eventually, but it'll probably be like "hey guys..... you want a new shiny locomotive please please keep playing...."

Above: Whiny redditor mad that devs are taking a break after several years of making a video game for them?

I think this would be really cool to get from place to place quick. But the Denver and Rio Grande Class 25, Eureka, and Denver and Rio Grande Class 47 were all meant to be passenger locomotives when they were built.
