@althonos, (Cambodian) ZZ 800 DMU is available in Africa instead of Asia.

Good catch, thanks. I fixed it for next release; but BaNaNas is down these days so I can't really publish anything there.

Some random suggestions (again):

Some African stuff that I am eager to see done but lack technical data

  • 2B (Congo and probably Madagascar and Cameroon) or BB 400. Smaller brother of BB-BB 300 from the main set. Photos are available in Facebook group dedicated to Congo Ocean railway https://scontent.fiev27-1.fna.fbcdn.net ... e=6A15FF51. One comment mentioned that the locomotive has 1800 hp engine instead of 3600 on BB-BB 300.
  • Soule autorail (operated in Mali, Madagascar, Ivory Coast). https://www.cfd.group/photos/railcar-mali--1176. In Madagascar it was known as ZE 700 and if I understood the description correctly it has 950 hp engine and could carry 34 passengers in first class. During the testing it reached 150 kph speed (on meter gauge, on African track!).

Thanks! These would be nice to have eventually. I unfortunately won't be able to add much stuff for the next month because I have to submit my PhD thesis in like three weeks

The Zimbabwe EL-1 were apparently designed by Brown-Boveri but I didn't find anything about them in the archives, so no idea about the specs

There are some Soulé autorails described here for the Ethiopian railways; we don't have any Ethiopian train in either 2ccng or 2ccts so that would be nice to have.

In terms of tropical engines you may like, there is also a steam autorail from the Kayes-Niger railway in Mali that would be quite interesting to have given that we have zero steam autorails for Africa so far, I could dig some more documentation:
