First of all, we want to apologize for the confusion in the past few weeks:
Our current posts are weekly DevLogs giving you insights into the ongoing development. These are not finished features yet but rather a behind-the-scenes look at what we’re working on.
The AL1 Battery Locomotive – A Piece of Hamburg’s History
The AL1 battery locomotive has been a crucial helper in Hamburg’s subway network for many years. It is used wherever no power from the third rail is available – for example, during construction work. With its robust design, it has been a real workhorse and an indispensable part of daily operations.
The LB6 Wagon – The Perfect Companion
Alongside the AL1, there is the LB6 wagon, used for transporting materials and tools. Together with the AL1, it forms the ideal duo for construction and maintenance tasks in the subway network.
A Highly Detailed Driver’s Cab
In SubwaySim 2, the driver’s cab of the AL1 has been recreated with great attention to detail. Many controls are interactive, allowing you to operate the locomotive in a realistic way.
One exciting feature: The AL1 comes with a fully functional battery that can be recharged via the third rail.
This brings a major new feature: All trains in SubwaySim 2 will now have functional power collectors.
This means that if your power collector is switched off and you’re not connected to the third rail, your train won’t be able to move.
Construction Sites Feature
What would a battery locomotive be without construction sites?
In timetable and career mode, there will be construction sites to service with the AL1. More details will follow in one of the next DevLogs – but here’s a little sneak peek already!
