Hi everybody!
I've been busy creating some Swedish trains for Train Fever. The plan is to eventually have a complete modpack that includes trains from all eras, 1850 to present times. I thought I would share my work in progress here.
The most common locomotive in Sweden is the class Rc electric locomotive. It was built from 1967 to 1988 in many different versions, and is still widely in use today. Rc is a universal locomotive built for both freight and passenger trains. Nowadays, the faster Rc3 and Rc6 are used for passenger trains, Rc2 and Rc4 are used for freight trains, Rc1 is used for shunting, and Rc5 doesn't exist anymore (converted to Rc6).
SJ Rc1
The first version above from 1967 was just called "Rc". It was later renamed Rc1 when Rc2 came out in 1969.
Name: SJ Rc
Year: 1967
Built: 20
Top speed: 135km/h
Weight: 80t
Power: 3600kW
Tractive effort: 275kN
SJ Rc2
Rc2, an improved version of Rc1.
Name: SJ Rc2
Year: 1969
Built: 100
Top speed: 135km/h
Weight: 76,8t
Power: 3600kW
Tractive effort: 275kN
SJ Rc3
Rc3 is identical with Rc2, except for the gearing, making it faster.
Name: SJ Rc3
Year: 1970
Built: 33
Top speed: 160km/h
Weight: 76,8t
Power: 3600kW
Tractive effort: 235kN
SJ Rc4
Sweden's most common locomotive, with 130 units built. It had the new logotype from the 1970s when it came out.
Name: SJ Rc4
Year: 1975
Built: 130
Top speed: 135km/h
Weight: 78t
Power: 3600kW
Tractive effort: 290kN
More versions of the Rc locomotive are in the making, so stay tuned!
Track and overhead lines
As you may have noticed, I have changed the color of the ballast, making it more Swedish looking in my opinion.
These are the over head wires. There are two types in Sweden, old and modern. Since the game only allows one version, I've chosen the old poles. It's more realistic to have old poles in modern times, than the opposite.
This is what the poles for multiple track looks like.
That's it for now.
