The locomotive being referenced on Pg.46 is EMD made WDG-4, having starting TE of 55t and cont. TE of 40t. Thought this additional info would be helpful too.. :hi:

However, this is not always readily available, and I will look at adding some generic guidelines for diesels on my website to provide some workable approximations.

As suggested, I have added a train load estimator for diesel locomotives to my web site to assist in getting an idea of the load that a train can haul.

Just a curious question. Under Force Information, Motive is the third column. The information for the player locomotive is displayed, but what about any additional locomotives. Should the Motive column also be displaying the same information for any helper locomotive?

Edit: This information is skipping every other car so the helper locomotive would not be included.

The only page where you can see all of the locomotives in a train is Locomotive Information. All other pages that display train information only show a selected few locomotives and cars if the consist is a long one.

With the Bin patch for MSTS the extended HUD did show most if not all of the cars in a consist.
