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

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)

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.

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

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

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

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.
