Description
Made by seanorse. NOTE! THIS CREATION IS INCREDIBLY PC INTENSIVE, AND MAKES USE OF BRICKS THAT ARE KNOWN TO DESYNC IN MULTIPLAYER.

The Q2 class of locomotives were a result of the Pennsylvania Railroad's exploration into the practicality of duplex locomotives; locomotives that have two sets of driving wheels on a single frame. As a result these locomtives could not handle curves well. Additionally, the Q2's were rather inefficient in their fuel use, needing to stop for water every 90 minues or so. Due to this, the duplex locomtives of Pennsylvania's fleet were amongst the first to be sold off and scrapped.

Locomtive 6131 specifically is the first experimental locomotive of the Q2 Class, which had a total of 26 locomtives. They were designed specifically for freight service, and were amongst the largest and most powerful non-articulating locomotives ever built. They were only built in 1944 and 45, and were sold off by 1951 in lieu of diesel locomotion.

This locomotive was built in version 1.4.5 of Brick Rigs and will not load in any older versions.

There is a browser tool called HexEd.it that is good for hex editing. The easiest way to do it is to create a vehicle composed only of the part you want to modify and opening it in HexEd.it. From there you have to manually find the value you want to modify, but once you do you can basically set it to whatever you want to. This is also used for infinite length pistons and bright lights.

i'll say. how did you glitch the tire pressure. did you mess with the game's code, or is there a trick up your hacker god sleeve?

Hey snerso, Could you make the MLW MX636?

FINALLY, the q2 gets some recognition

The visual part of the wheels are merely decoration, in the middle there is a small tire wheel which has had its pressure modified to have the radius of the wheel, which makes its running a whole lot smoother.

how did you get the wheels to move the engine without touching the rails?

Could you make the Reading And Northern #2102?
