NYC J3a 4-6-4 Dreyfuss Hudson #5450

This is a 4-6-4 "Hudson" type steam locomotive based on the New York Central's streamlined J3a "Dreyfuss Hudson" used to pull the NYC's crack passenger trains, such as the 20th Century Limited and the Empire State Express.

A total of 275 Hudsons were built for the New York Central between 1927 and 1938.10 of these Hudsons, No. 5445 through No. 5454, were streamlined, using a shrouding designed by Henry Dreyfuss, from which the Dreyfuss Hudson derives its nickname. Unfortunately, all 275 NYC Hudsons were scrapped in the late 1950s, with the only remnant being the tender of #5313, which was converted to a generator car.

The version I built is powered using the Electromagnets mod, with the electromagnets housed in the cylinders. This locomotive is rated for a top speed of 45 blocks/sec. It is built to use any 7u gauge track (7 blocks between the rails).

Loading gauge information:
Locomotive width: 13 blocks
Locomotive height: 16 blocks

Controls:
1. Start/stop
2. Toggle Forward/Reverse (forward by default)
3. Whistle
4. Headlignt
5/6: Increase/Decrease throttle (shown on the green "Gauge" beside the speedometer)
