Metroliner / San Diego Trolley Power Fix

Description
Changes Metroliner's power to 3560kw, and the San Diego trolley's power to 35kw, just like they were in TpF1.

The game treats a Metroliner trainset as 1 power car with 18 seats + 3 Amfleet cars with 21 seats each. The vanilla Metroliner's power is set at 890kw, which is the real-life Metroliner power......for 1 car, not a 4-car set. With the way the game treats the trainset, the powercar would have to output 890*4=3560kw, which was TpF1's number.

On the other hand, the San Diego Trolley's 4kw power seems like a development oversight to me (tbh the Metroliner's power seems like one as well). There's just no reason why it should be 4kw. What were you doing UrbanGames?

The trolley fix appears to be incompatible with the updated models from the recent update. When I load a save that includes the trolleys from this mod, the game shows a dialog saying "This savegame contains vehicles for which improved models are available due to a game update", and the "Update Models" button replaces this mod's trolleys with vanilla trolleys with 4 kw power.

So in a 2-car consist you'd be making 2400hp total with all wheels powered.

Well, if this clarifies anything, the real metroliner (per axle) had 300hp Westinghouse traction motors making approx 1200hp per car. Not sure what that is in kilowatts.

Does this play nice with the Multiple Units mod?
