27:00 Dynamic Brakes work by using the electricity from the traction motors which causes the traction motors to rotate in a different direction or They are slower. then the electricity goes to the "Dynamic Brake resistor banks" at this point the electricity from the traction motors is then converted into heat and They can emit a bright red glow causing resistance which causes the train to slow down which is what happens when the train Engineer Applies the dynamic Brake
youd have to have them disjointed like slug-loco-slug, slug-loco-slug you can only have 2 slugs hooked up with the mu cable, one on either side of the loco@@Eternon2000
Used the slug with de2 from the start, 2nd or 3rd purchase i made. Could really bury the throttle with out much worry of overheating, until i hooked a second de2 to the other end. Went to double dh4s and can pull alot more than the de2s w/slug. But starting out the combo made some good starting cash.
I ran a De2 and slug from Harbor to Food Factory, and total repair needed on the slug was less than $200 on realistic. Wear and tear is minimal cost, since it doesn't have it's own engine, therefore no fuel, oil, etc and nothing to damage during normal use. The real cost to run it is indirect. Because of the slug's weight, whatever you're running it with will burn more fuel and oil, so you're really paying for the slug repairs on your locomotive.
The slug doesn't just have Concrete slabs under the hood for weight there is a lot more you missed that's under the hood that you never explained, Young Kids thinking they know all, think what you're talking about, if you have No clue don't say anything you don't need to act like you know all. I used MT-4 and MT-6 for over 19yrs by Conrail and Yeah, they have 2 Big Slabs of Concrete under the Hood BUT!!!!! they also have an Air Compressor Water Tank Sand Storage as well as Electronics reasons for the side panel on hood need a Fuse box. You wouldn't know this until now I say but what Keeps the Traction Motors on the Slug from OVERHEATING !???! What did you think keeps the Traction Motors from NOT burning up, Miss something yeah you did, Reasons why there are grates on the side of the Hood excess exhaust from the Traction Motors bleed-off. Coolant unit used to keep Traction Motors cooled off when under power which is a Big unit to super chill air into the Traction Box of Traction Motors. Plus the fact slugs need alternator power in order to use Headlights Beacons or Marker Lights as well as Sand release. Reason why the Slug Hood is Shorter than a typical Mother unit isn't because of the loss of Engine it's so the Engineer can see over the Slug when running the Slug-set from the Cab view. Mother unit is what Us Real Life railroaders call Powered Units for a Slug-Set. Yard Slugs do have More Traction Effort than Road Slugs I will say. Road Slugs travel faster as where Yard Slugs are geared down lower making speed top off at 15mph means more Traction Effort for Push Pulling. I hope this has Helped you understand Slugs better now coming from a Real Lifer
Christ alive reading this all I thought of was how much more condescending can you be. It’s a video game for gods sake. Go back to your baseball games on the radio grandpa
Most important thing to know about the DE6: press X, "toggle sit/stand", when entering the cab. If you stand or crouch you can't see ahead very well.
Very true

Neat!
you deserve more subscribers! excellent video!
Thank you!
I wish they would add a de6 b-unit
F units would be awesome as DE4A and DE4B units.
I hope we'll get something like the DR Class 250 or DB Class E 410, or DB Class 210 in the future.
That would be cool
Can you put a slug in the front and in the back in sandbox mode?
Yes, you should be able to use it on both ends of the loco at the same time
@@rogueleadrgaming8907 Then can't you just distribute them like: Slug-loco-slug-slug-loco-slug...
youd have to have them disjointed like slug-loco-slug, slug-loco-slug

does the slug need repairs?
If it breaks yes
