EVR C36-7

[Railion 1600]

Are the C36-7 locomotives owned by the Estonian EVR also allowed in Russia? If they come to Russia, where are they? Is there somewhere a real route in MSTS where they can be seen?

[Mars92]

There is none this locomotives in Russia... ;)

[Railion 1600]

OK, thank you. It's a pity that they don't come to Russia. There is a route in MSTS where they come? Otherwise I have to start a new route-project:D

[Damien Zhar]

You seem to be quite obsessed over that locomotive, what gauge does it run on? As far as I know ther is EU gauge and there is broad Russian gauge. And for the MSTS route, go ahaed, we're looking forward to it. But make it look like Russia, not jsut some "Russia seen in an B-movie"
And an lil note on the side. Russia does not allow any european locomotive to traverse it's tracks, ever.

We are best, peace out ;)

Estonian rail gauge is the same, like in Russia.
Here you can download some imaginary routes, called Soobelroute

Ok gauge is cleared up, what bout electrification systems? Voltage, DC/AC?

[jawa634]

DC only. And only for some intercity EMU`s. There`s no electric locomotives

@Damien Zhar: I think that you mean that I am to be quite overobsessed over that locomotive, but obsessed is a better word because I'm obsessed by so many trains (like the most of you all, I guess):rofl:

The Soobelroute is narrow-gauge, so it's very hard to see an C36-7 or C30-7 there;) . A few years ago bought the EVR some C30-7 and C36-7 locos from the USA. After they are regauged to 1524 mm and repainted in the yellow/red EVR-colors they are in use for heavy freight trains.

[Damien Zhar]

I see Railion, well you're right about everyoe beeing obsessed, and since it's the right gauge and DC it might service some brief excursions into the RF, but I doubt it wil lget all the way to Moscow.

[Railion 1600]

Today I found in a book that the C30-7 and C36-7 locos for a short time were allowed to Russian border stations.

[Damien Zhar]

You mean something like this? I am astonished, seeing an US loco on USSR soil... weird...

Birds. Wonderfool diesel-engine. :D

[Railion 1600]

Of course, I like it:D With that I mean the locomotive and the picture. The only things that I'm missing is the correct chugging diesel engine, the weeing traction motors, the rumbling couplers and the singing axle bearings of the freight cars and of course a real route for MSTS where I can drive with them:D

[Barmaley]

C30 very heavy for standard ex-soviet railways (25-26 tonns/axis max for new profile-R65). Axial load ~30 t/axis. So may be in Estonian all U-boats stay in reserve for now. IMHO.

[Railion 1600]

Are there plans to take them in service again if there is more work for them?

Until recently it was possible to see here Russian locomotives of the type TE109 (here RN 232). They were exported to the former German Democratic Republic, after the unification with the other Germany the freight section of the German Railways (at that moment DB Cargo, later Railion, now DB Schenker) used another subserie (Class 241) with another engine for services to the Netherlands. Later bought the Dutch section of Railion own locomotives of the type 232, and until recently they were here in service:D

PS: Maybe I can place here some own pictures of a `Russenschreck/Ludmilla`

Yes USSR locomotives on EU soil is one thing, it's more common, but I repeat myself, US locs? All the way from USA in CCCP? :P That has to be rare.

And hmm, Taigatrommel you say? They have been from Cuba to China, but go ahead link us up ^^

[Railion 1600]

It's possible to see half-US locomotives on EU soil too. Maybe says the type JT42CWR(M) anything to you, but it's more known as Class 66. By the way, I like different trains, and I don't care which country they are from. And a Taigatrommel is a V200/ST44/781/(2)M62(U);)

I thought an Ludmilla is the same... oh well. when an train goes Berlin Hbf. - Moscau does the DB locomotive go all the way like the wagons? Where do they chage at that case and what locomotives are used, whats the speed on our and DB side, and how many hours is the journey. If I may ask.

I guess, but I'm not sure, that the DB the trains bring to the Polish border, with rented Class 372-locos of the CD. If there is no Class 372, they use a Ludmilla (DB-class 232/233/234):D

That Ludmilla journey I must experience. Bout caternary, is it me or does German/Czech caternary look a lot like Russian one? On that lil off-topic I love Russia's big metal green/rusty old bent girder caternary supports, not three planks in an cross like they do in Europe now.

Here is a picture from German catenary to see: http://www.eggolsheimer-eisenbahn.de/Eisenbahn/z-eingef-Eisenbahn/Oberleitung/Vergleich.jpg
Of course, there are many more variations for more tracks, for a picture, made by myself, during a holiday in Germany: http://www.flickr.com/photos/40012911@N06/3742281519/

PS: Maybe it's better to make a new topic for things like this.
