All new electric powered trains! These locomotives use a new item (Train Powerpacks) which get used up and must be recharged in a Powerpack Charging Station. Sometimes Powerpacks will be destroyed on charging, and these is a refurbishment recipe if you so choose! A more down to earth, standalone adaptation of electric locomotives. This adds a new level of fresh to vanilla feeling train modifications with new logistical problems to solve!

Now supports 2.0, Quality Powerpacks + Space Age!

Entities

Electric Locomotive and Electric Wagon Locomotive

These locomotives run on Electric Train Powerpacks have a 20% power to weight improvement over their vanilla counterpart, and have a top speed of 518Km/h. This can be configured in mod settings
They are quite expensive (relative to mid game) to make and maintain, due to this improvement

Electric cargo and fluid wagon

These have a 20% storage buff over their vanilla counterparts, although this can be configured in mod settings
Since they run on MAGLEV tech, adding extra cars does not increase frictional forces, only weight!

Powerpack charging stations

There are two tiers of powerpack chargers, normal and experimental. To use Experimental Train Powerpack Charging Station, you must complete its research which unlocks faster (3X) charging.
Powerpacks have a chance of being destroyed, 1% and 15% for normal and fast charging respectively. You can turn this off in mod settings.
You can refurbish destroyed Powerpacks in a chemical plant with some sulfuric acid!

New features! (0.2.X - 0.3.X)

Electric Trains is now compatible with Factorio 2.0 and Space Age!
Graphics support for elevated rails
Charging stations have circuit network compatibility and can take modules and beacon effects
New types of train powerpacks! What sort of train network do you want to create? Short distance where acceleration is key? Or maybe extra long distance where top speed is valuable? What about saving resources with more efficient fuels? These powerpacks can only be charged in the Experimental Charging Station
Alkaline powerpacks as a low-performance option to bypass the recharging/refurbishment infrastructure.
If that wasn't enough choice, try enable the Quality mod! Look after different quality powerpacks for better speed and acceleration multipliers. Make sure you have the quality ingredients to refurbish them!

What can I look forward to?
