Engine Age and does it matter?
Posted: Fri Aug 11, 2023 5:56 pm
Hi everyone,
I noticed that while playing RRT2 after awhile the engine maintenace goes to $0 when looking at the history of my trains. Early on in the game (early 1900's) engine maint was always a cost but after a certain year (I can't remember when) the maint goes down drastically.
So this leaves me with 2 questions. Is this normal? and also I would have figured the older the locomotive the more maint cost it will have but I've got some 27 year old trains that have no maintenance fees, just fuel charges.
Should someone be changing out old loco's for new ones? I know the reliability gets worse over time but that's about it. Does the fuel consumption charges go up for older locos?
Thanks for reading
