Brief summery of EU07 class locomotive operation:
Turn the main power relay on.  For now, this procedure is simplified (current collectors are excluded).  
Turn the voltage converter and compressor.
Check the manometer to see if the main brake line pressure is 0.5MPa.  
Use reverser to select desired direction of travel.  
Rotate master controller wheel to first position.  
Wait for about 1 sec or so until the orange light lights up on the control panel.  
Once this happens, increase master controller setting to higher setting observing the current and avoiding wheel slippage. 
Too high of a current may trip the current overload fuse.  In case the current overload fuse is tripped, rotate master controller back to position "0", reset the overload fuse.  
A similar procedure is carried out when power cutoff switch is tripped due to voltage line surges as well as when there is a momentary loss of voltage in the supply line. 

In the event of wheel slippage, decrease master controller setting and apply a bit of sand, or use the antilock braking system. 
Once the locomotive reaches a certain speed where the engine current drops to lower levels, set the master controller into non-resistor setting.  
This is done by rotating master controller into a position where the orange light is turned off.  There are only two non-resistant positions, first approximately halfway through the full rotation, 
while the second one is at the maximum master controller setting.  Once the master controller is at one of these positions further acceleration/driving can be accomplished by using field shunts.  
Note:  Driving locomotive for prolong periods of time should only be done at non-resistive settings otherwise overheating to resistor network may occur.  
Furthermore, the closest non-resistor setting can quickly be set by pressing SHIFT along with a master controller key.

While driving locomotive without any cars attached it is best to use a pneumatic aid brakes instead of main brakes, in all other cases use main brakes.  
The pneumatic aid brake provides much faster response (but on the locomotive only).  
Note: Releasing main brakes on a long train may take a while.  Moving the main brake handle all the way to the right for no more than few seconds will shorten the release process.  
In reality, the Oerlicon brake system has a safety valve that prevents an overload of the main brake line.  
For now this option is not available, so be careful.  
In the running main brake handle position the pressure in the brake line should always stay at 0.5 MPa.

EU07 class locomotives have Bo'Bo' wheel configuration.  Its continuous power is 2000kW.  The maximum design speed is 125km/h.  


Brief summary of SN61 class diesel car operation:

First, use reverser to set the direction.
Rotate master controller handle to first position. 
Having master controller handle set to first position,
engage the starter.
Once the engine starts successfully move the master
controller handle to the next setting, idle position.
In this position and above positions compressor is loading pressure.
To start moving, rotate master controller handle one
more position.  This should be done when all of the
train’s brakes have been released. 
On this setting the SN61 diesel motor unit will be
riding the clutch, therefore do not use this setting
as permanent driving setting.
Once the speed of 7…8km/h is reached rotate the master
controller handle to the next position.  There are 5
normal driving positions.  Gears change automatically.

Summary of master controller positions:
0: shut down
1: ignition
2: idle
3: partly engaged clutch
4: 1
5: 2
6: 3
7: 4
8: 5
First position opens throttle to 15% while last
position is fully open, 100%. 
DON NOT BURN THE CLUTCH OUT!

SN61 is a B'2' diesel motor unit that has been used in the
past as a commuter train.  It consists of 370kW engine
and its design speed is 100 km/h.
