The Throttle-power container is a top-level config.txt file entry used by Enginespec assets.
Supported Tags
The Throttle-power container has a sequence of numeric subcontainers. Each one refers to a specific throttle notch.
Within each subcontainer, there are a series of numeric named lines. Each line specifies a speed (m/s) and a tractive effort (kN) value. Together, these points define a tractive effort graph for a specific throttle notch.
Example throttle-power container
Here is an example throttle-power container. (Several notches have been omitted for brevity - the format is identical throughout).

13.3 195
28.5 190
30.0 26
31.0 0
}
}
Note that the high notch values are way beyond what the loco can actually put into the track at low speed - this loco cannot be opened up to full throttle at very low speeds, otherwise it's wheels will slip. The max tractive effort it can put into the rails before slipping is configured in the loco config file - the reason for this is that the weight of the loco (also set in the loco config file) will affect this value.
