Train Simulator: Euro BR 159 Electro-Diesel Loco Add-On
Get up to speed dual-mode style with RSSLO’s striking Euro BR 159 Electro-Diesel!
As electrification became more and more popular with European and global rails, so too did electric traction. Unrivalled power and efficiency put electric locos far ahead of diesel counterparts. However, the solution was not as simple for companies to just replace their whole fleets. Many lines are too rural to warrant the wires, others get tangled in freight logistics; suffice to say, diesel motive power was still necessary.
Owning and maintaining multiple fleets was often costly and inconvenient, and so manufacturers from around the world started innovating by combining the two technologies into one. For many years, electro-diesel locomotives have had the ability to draw electricity directly via the wires or generate power with on-board diesel engines.
As rail technology has improved, so too has the versatility of dual-mode locomotives such as the BR 159. With more powerful engines able to be fitted in electro-diesels, capable of working under load while working off the wires or while revving its engines, the BR 159 makes easy work of freight traffic no matter the rail network.
Modern and striking, the BR 159 makes a bold appearance wherever it goes, and you can put it to good work on all manners of routes in Train Simulator!
The Pro Range is aimed toward the serious train simulation enthusiast looking for a complex machine to master. Each product is designed to provide education and entertainment for users. Xbox controller and HUD interface support do not come as standard and users will need to read the accompanying documentation to fully understand the operation of this advanced simulation.
