The industry & city where you can purchase the new key for the new garage only has 1 dead end track nearby

[DemocraticPrawn]

Eh? The key can be bought at the Harbour.

I don't know where the garage is though .......

Theres a deadend track southeast of harbour, a garage is located at the very end

[Lord of Boredom]

Found it. Thanks

I'm diggin' the slug, too. That thing really puts in the work - currently have nine jobs worth of cars stacked up from the harbor and only have the slug and a single DE6. It's slow going up that hill on the west side to make my way to the steel mill but it's going.

[refshop]

Yes the De6 + Slug is a real grinder. Nice to see the DE6 is back !

[MajorMurderer]

Edit - Just tallied up the mass on those nine jobs - 2,148t

I always thought that track was going to lead to another mine or a remote location, seems a waste for it to be just to a one-time shed, hopefully this changes in a map refresh tho!

DE2-SLUG-DE2 new meta?

[Knsgf]

Slug works only with a single locomotive. And DE2, even "slugged", is still a piece of junk.

[schutt]

I tried around with de2+slug , which works and is fun but rather useless, much worse than 1 dh4. While you can slug around for fun and its an option if your de2 is not getting up a hill to spawn a slug to help you, a permanent de2-slug combo will not be my favorite.
If you put de2-slug-de2 one of them will be slug assisted (slow,heavy) and the other one will overheat since the slug holds them all on slow speeds. Of course you could switch the other de2 off or only use it for emergency, but it wont feed the slug.

DE2+slug fit on the turntable though, barely but they fit. And if you are the full throttle guy the de2 no longer overheats, but i think for shunting a carefully operaded de2 without slug does the job faster, maybe with the exception of the steel mill "obstacle". But spawning a slug just for that? i dont know....

Ah damn, I missed that. Shame, DE2-SLUG-DE2 would be the only thing that could challenge DH4-DH4 in my eyes.

I guess you could try something weird like DE2-SLUG-DE6, with DE2 and SLUG paired up. But at that point you may as well go full DE6-DE2-DE6.

With no DE4 in the plans I can only hope that Altfuture addresses the DH4 "gears" in some future update.
