Locomotive upgrades
- Speed
- Improves transmission by 5% and lowers air resistance by 5% (for effective higher top speed). Virtual train store price: €50,- per point.
- Health
- Adds 5% to 10% more to max health points. Virtual train store price: €40,- per point.
- Motor power
- Improves motor power (for effective higher acceleration speed). Virtual train store price: €50,- per point.
- Armor
- Adds armor protection, and if already armored improves armor level. Armor helps take certain damage first from armor, before the health will be reduced. Virtual train store price: €60,- per point.
- Weight
- Adds more mass to the Locomotive. More mass gives the Locomotive more stamina and better positioning on the rails. Leading to less derailing and better chance to push other Locomotives. However, the acceleration declines so more motor power is required to keep the same acceleration speed. Virtual train store price: €30,- per point.
- Fuel
- Adds 5% to 20% more capacity to all fuel tanks. Virtual train store price: €80,- per point.
