Budd M2/M4 – Metro-North Railroad (Scaled Capacity)
Budd M2/M4 – Metro-North Railroad (Scaled Capacity)
This mod introduces the M2/M4 series to Transport Fever 2. In this version, the car’s capacity is scaled for better gameplay. A married pair will hold 46 passengers.
Shortly after consolidating the commuter railways surrounding New York City, the MTA began updating its ageing, prewar fleet. While the M1 “Metropolitan” EMU operated exclusively on the area’s third-rail lines—the vast majority of the network—the dual-function M2 “Cosmopolitan” would serve the sole route powered by overhead catenary: the New Haven Line. It entered service in 1973 and was retired in 2018.
– Vmax: 160 km/h
– Power: 1184 kW
– Traction: 340 kN
– Seats: 46
– Availability: 1973 to 2018
The mod includes both overhead and third-rail variants. For now, the M2 and M4 operate as married pairs; the designations serve to differentiate the two paint schemes.
The GSI G70 bogies were provided by Maik (models) and Skyjoe (textures). They’re gratefully used here with permission.
This is my second mod. Neither this nor the M1/M3 series would be possible without Maik’s generous guidance. Thanks again, man.
