My goodness, after seeing the train videos I am very happy!
Being a bit of a railway nut, seeing that the coupling rods and motion was animated was just pure joy!

By the way, I'm curious why was the Br55 chosen as the representative class of Axis loki ?

I would guess it might have something to with the age of the locomotive type, something that would fit the earliest scenarios in IL-2 that still saw use throughout the war. Where as something like the Kriegslok/DRB Class 52 didn't see service until 1942.
If one were to make a suggestion for the future..
I think adding in a British loco set would be nice too. Something that could be used as the allied loco type on the new Tobruk map as an example (or indeed, any other western front map). The type of locomotive best suited would probably be a Stanier 8F (first introduced in 1935) that was used quite a bit by the War Department early on before being replaced by the WD Austerity 2-8-0 (which was first introduced in 1943).
