Big Boy When?

282 seems small , still a great job so far devs.

[HuskyDynamics]

Literally would not fit on the current map.

Rather with a DLC since the Main game will only have 2 Locos per type

[TheLostPenguin]

Well the US DLC is scheduled for 2025+ on a roadmap that goes out to 2027+, sooo this time next year at the very earliest?
And don't be surprised if the US DLC both slips to 2026, and doesn't have a Mallet type either, after all the US does have a decent supply of conventionally arranged locomotives to take inspiration from as well.

Theres a mod to change the wheel arrangement of the S282 (called S282 rearranged), that includes an option to make it a 2-4-4-2 duplex, IDK if its been updated for B99 yet though

Two per type? I know we’re getting the DH6 and WE6, but i didn’t realize there might be a larger DM loco in the works (or a smaller WE for that matter).

Maybe the DM1U and BE2 count as well?

If you check the roadmap[derailvalley.com] the future planned vehicles are (not including whatevers going to be in the DLC):

• DH6 large six-axle diesel-hydraulic loco
  
• WE6 large six-axle wired electric loco
  
• PM1 petrol/gasoline powered speeder (essentially a car on wheels for moving around the map, no pulling power at all)
  
• DE1 MOW machinery for whatever maintenance-of-way mechanics end up being
  
• WE2P wired electric passenger railbus/EMU
  
• DM1P diesel-mechanical passenger railbus (likely basically the same as the DM1U but fitted for passenger service instead of light freight)

note that the last two won't be coming until Altfuture adds passenger jobs, which according to the roadmap wont be for a while after the DLC, currently estimating 2027 at earliest

[arthorfonzarelli]

I’ve definitely seen those on the road map. I figured there might be a distinction between locomotives and work trains in the “two per type” referenced above, cause we’re getting several DM work trains in the future.

[schutt]

we only have one steam engine with a tender and one tank engine, so two per type would mean we get 2 more steam engines ! great news guys.

[pitty3878]

I know of someone who is attempting to make a garratt loco... needs ccl though.

The other two DM/WE locos will be the DM1P and WE2P railcars.

The DM1U, BE2, and other work trains do not count in the "two locos per transmission type" assessment.

These do count:

-DE2, DE6
-S060, S282
-DH4, DH6 (not yet released)
-DM3, DM1P (not yet released)
-WE6, WE2P (neither yet released)
