4-6-4 B&A J2 Hudson Pack

Thank you to Lskeetskeet for the incredible screenshots as always!

The Great Steel Fleet Pack 2
This mod is a continuation of the 4-6-4 Hudson pack. Here I have included 3 J2 class locomotives of the Boston & Albany, a subsidiary of the New York Central. These locomotives come with a slight boost in overall tractive effort but at the cost of a heavier weight.

While I don’t have much on the history here, I have the viable information below.

What’s in the Box?
3 J2 Hudsons

Included here are
J2A – equipped with the smaller 4 Axle tender
J2B & C – Equipped with the standard 6 Axle Tender

75″ drivers, as opposed to the J1 and J3’s 79-Inch drivers.
All the Versions above have different piping layouts and other various option parts.

Locomotives
J2A-#600 w/4 Axle
J2B-#607 w/6 Axle
J2C-#610 w/6 Axle – modernized

Couplers by Model Citizen
Sounds by Mr. Cheesecake – I do love that NYC 6 Chime whistle!
All units have corresponding assets!
4 LODs to help accommodate the high poly model.
7 Different Camera views!

Stats
Availability
J2A,B, & C- 1928

Horsepower – 4765
Tractive Effort – 58,200
Speed – 110 MPH

Weight
J2A – 280 Tons
J1B – 337 Tons
J2C – 336 Tons

Trying my hand at balancing. I took what the game set cost would be, and looked between the availability, speed, and power, of this and other locomotives. You will find that smaller tender engines have a lower purchase cost, but higher running cost. Larger tender engines will have a higher purchase cost, but less running cost. This is simulated, the idea of refueling.

What Else?
This is Pack 2 of the Great Steel Fleet pack. This is a dependent mod, requiring the J1 Pack. Be on the lookout for the J3A pack coming shortly! Thank you to Meatballhero for a few reusable parts from the Berkshire packs’ consistent help.
