West-german railway cranes (track builders) – early start steam locomotive addon.

Enhance Your Early Republic Railways with West German Steam Cranes

For devoted builders and managers of the Soviet Republic, the challenge of constructing and maintaining a robust railway network is paramount. Now, you can add a distinct historical flavor and crucial functionality to your early-game infrastructure with a specialized add-on featuring West German steam-powered railway cranes.

Bringing Historical Steam Power to Track Construction

This mod introduces early-start versions of the iconic Krupp-Ardelt BA103 crane, uniquely paired with steam locomotives instead of their diesel counterparts. This addition is specifically designed to enrich your gameplay experience during the earlier years of your republic’s development, providing essential track-laying capabilities from 1935 through 1965.

Two Powerful Options for Your Network

You’ll have access to two distinct crane configurations to suit your operational needs:

• The Short Set: This variant utilizes the reliable BR80 steam locomotive, offering a capable option for initial track construction and readily available for purchase at your medium-sized customs office.
• The Long Set: Featuring the more powerful BBOe 214 locomotive, this set boasts superior performance, allowing for more efficient and extensive railway development as your republic grows.

Both crane versions come equipped with two distinct visual skins, allowing you to further customize the aesthetic of your construction fleet. This mod seamlessly integrates with the “Early Start” DLC, offering an authentic and engaging way to manage your growing railway empire from its foundational stages.
