We're also going to need something to tow trains out of the workshop (no powerrail there...) ;

A Mercedies-Benz Unimog! That'll be the first road vehicle to drive in MSB, it can be useful elsewhere

That is just... AMAZING !
You've made such a beautiful work on this map, I'm really hyped to see it by myself on the simulator

Well well... wasn't expecting to see anything resembling a road vehicle ever in MSB.

Maybe it's time to open a page for this game on the IGCD website

It's still a railvehicle in the simulator (so the steering wheel is not functional); as you can see it does have small wheels to keep it on the track.
There is also an Unimog present on this track in Google Maps: https://goo.gl/maps/Fb3YQXErp1qthCjt7

There are no power-rails in the workshop, so for the simulator, the choise was to either define a dummy (invisible but functional) powersupply to those tracks (so you can drive back out without help), or add a shunting engine to the simulator. Google maps shows they have an Unimog, so I guess that's how they do it. So I went for the more realistic solution.

An alternative way of doing it might be to have a long extension cord which you couple to the train in the workshop, long enough to supply power for the train to drive out, and then uncouple it again once the train comes in contact with the powerrails outside. But I could not find any information relating to this, so I guess the Unimog is the simpeler solution.

I know, I wasn't expecting the Unimog to be anything other than a funny, interesting piece of rolling stock.

Very nice

Wouldn't this also make cars possible by placing rails under the roads?

Technically, there is very little difference between a track section and a road section in the simulator

Ah yes indeed
