Class G
Description
[edit | edit source]The RSR CT Class G, also known as just the Class G, is a long and heavy 0-6-0 tender engine. A slow but powerful brute, it is perfect as a railroad's heavy goods engine while saving up for higher pressure locomotives such as the Class B during the early to mid game. For those desiring a faster engine with a similar cost and tractive effort, the Class D1 is a great option to pair with the Class G.
With a top speed of only 19 MPH, the Class G ranks among the slowest locomotives available. It is also extremely heavy, with a base weight of 27t, going up to 36t with the tender. However, while large, heavy and slow, it boasts a tractive effort of 29,809, almost double the tractive power of the Class A, which makes it a useful loco for situations where you may need to drag your train up a tough incline. In addition, its six-coupled drivers provide much greater adhesion than engines with fewer drivers.
Trivia
[edit | edit source]- It requires a tender to use coal.
- It's tied for the second slowest engine in the game with the Class N and Class H at a top speed of 19 MPH. The slowest engine in the game is currently the Coffeepot at 14 MPH.
- It holds a decent tractive effort of 29,809, almost double that of the Class A.
- For some reason, the locomotive's smokebox is always painted the same colour as the rest of the engine. This has been somewhat controversial among the playerbase. It is the only engine in the game with a painted smokebox.
