.Background Info: The Aurora (Russian: Аврора) is a heavily modified steam locomotive, . It serves as a mobile base for the player. Yermak is the Aurora’s helmsman, while Miller serves as its crew’s leader.
The Aurora is a “duplex” locomotive, with two sets of driving wheels in what appears to be a 2-8-8-4 configuration, which means a forward pilot truck with two wheels, two sets of driving wheels with eight wheels each, and a rear trailing truck with four wheels. In Russian configuration, this would be a 1-4-4-2.
The locomotive may be a heavily modified Russian P38 articulated locomotive which were the biggest and heaviest Soviet steam locomotives in existence.
It might also be based on two Soviet IS20 locomotives (like IS20-317) combined into a single engine. Those were made from 1932 to 1942, and were used even all the way up until 1972. Most were scraped in the 1980’s due to larger locomotives had taken there place on Soviet railroads. This is the first steam locomotive in the Metro series of games.
The locomotive that was converted into the Aurora could have been taken from one of several Moscow’s railway museums, where some steam locomotives are preserved in a fairly good shape, despite their age.
