🚂 Diesel-Electric Locomotive: Tractive Effort and Adhesion Lab - 3D Hopper Train

A Blender-built Co-Co diesel-electric locomotive hauls a hopper train in 3D: tractive effort limited by wheel adhesion and engine power, Davis-style train resistance, grades and braking, with live force arrows and the same physics as the 2D companion.
