VR Class Dv12 (2500 series)

Finnish VR Class Dv12 diesel-hydraulic locomotive of the 2500 series (Nos. 2501-2568, built 1963-1966), shown as No. 2512 in the classic red and cream livery with 'Dv 12' markings. History and variants: VR's Dv12 family was built by Valmet and Lokomo from 1963 to 1984. The family comprises the 2500 series (1963–1966), the 2700 series (1965–1972) and the later 2600 series (1974–1984). The series differed in equipment and appearance, and individual locomotives were modified at different times throughout their service lives. As historical and later photographs show, details could vary from one locomotive to another, so even two locomotives of the same series would not necessarily look exactly alike. The 2500 series was originally classified Sv12, while the 2700 series was Sr12; the Dv12 designation followed in 1976. This model represents locomotive 2512, a Valmet-built 2500-series locomotive from 1964. Its shape and red-and-cream livery are inspired by the early 2500 series, including the four separate cab-side windows. It also carries the later Dv 12 class marking, a VR logo and some later-style details, so it is an interpretation rather than an exact depiction of a single year. One cab with two driver's desks, Krupp bogies, Bo'Bo' wheel arrangement and a Tampella-SACM V16 engine with Voith hydraulic transmission. Available: from 1960. Top speed: 125 km/h. Power: 1000 kW. Tractive effort: 200 kN. Weight: 62.2 t. Price: about $2.07 million, running costs about $345,000 per year (default game settings; calculated by the game like base-game locomotives).
