The Great Steel Fleet Pack Part 1<\/p>\n
Welcome back to another locomotive that I\u2019ve been wanting to get into game for along while. The Famous New York Central\u2019s 4-6-4 Hudson Locomotive! This is Pack 1 which will contain the J1 variants of the Hudson. Packs 2 and 3 will have the J2 & J3. The Next 2 packs are dependency packs and will require the J1 pack. I had to break them up due to the sheer size of the mod. I kinda went ham on this.<\/p>\n
Small excerpt<\/p>\n
Built by Alco, the first J1 Hudson #5200 was put into service in 1927.The NYC tested this locomotive hard. The Hudson came to relieve the lesser powered Pacific K class locomotives. The Hudsons were built for high speed passenger service and pulled various crack trains for the NYC, namely the 20th Century Limited, and the Empire State Express. The locomotive received its name from the NYC president Patrick Crowley whom had a view of the Hudson river from his office. As for the appearance the Hudsons took their que from the K5 Class Pacific\u2019s.<\/p>\n
This engine will hopefully plug another hole in the gap of American steam locomotives and be put to work on your railroad! Honestly whenever I think of steam locomotives the first thing that comes to mind is the shape and appearance of the Hudsons. The qunticental steam locomotive.<\/p>\n
Later on to rival other big railroad\u2019 newer and streamlined diesels, the NYC streamlined several Hudson locomotives during the art deco era. These are not in this pack.
\nThe streamlined locomotives will appear in another mod in the future.<\/p>\n

Trying my hand at balancing. I took what the game set cost would be, and looked between availability, speed, power, of this and other 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 simulate the idea of refueling.<\/p>\n
Whats next?<\/p>\n
Well taking a break. This project took a bit longer than I anticipated\u2026.2 months longer. So for now play some games, and relax.. but the modding bug always bites, and it does so shortly after 1 project ends. So.. what is next? Well I want to go back into my Hudsons and mix em all up. Aiming to work on the streamliners \u2013 the Dryfuss, Empire State Express, and the Commodore Vanderbuilt. Though they are Hudsons.. so what is the next actual different locomotive? I plan on going back a bit further to the very early 1900\u2019s and pump out a NYC Heavy Atlantic engine, then forward to a NYC Pacific, like a K11, and or a K5 since the K5B and the Hudson share it\u2019s appearance.. I\u2019ll see what I can get from that. Also throw in some random rolling stock here and there. Big shout out to Meatballhero with his constant
\nhelp & parts I was able to borrow. I hope you enjoy these locomotives as much as I will.<\/p>\n
