SP DS440 Heavy Diesel Locomotive
this was my first attempt at a diesel locomotive so forgive the terribleness and lack of detail, this was made in 2023 and i didn't want to upload it yet, but here you go.
Experimental because I'm seeing if Flanged wheels can work in Simpleplanes.
Accompanying rolling stock will come soon!
DS440 Locomotive
The DS440 Locomotive, developed by Simpleplanes Aircraft and Vehicle Productions, stands as a robust heavy-duty locomotive tailored for intensive operations. Introduced in 1965, this locomotive boasts dimensions measuring 60 feet in length, 13 feet in height, and 10.3 feet in width. Featuring a Co' wheel arrangement with two bogies, each equipped with six wheels, the DS440 ensures stability and traction across varied terrains.
Designed primarily for heavy work, the DS440 accommodates curves within operational limits, though caution is advised on sharp turns exceeding 20 miles per hour to prevent derailment. Competing directly with iconic American diesel locomotives such as the SD40, GP40, and AC4400, the DS440 represents a pinnacle in industrial transportation. It combines reliability with efficiency to meet rigorous operational demands, setting a new standard in locomotive engineering.
