[BROKEN BY THE UPDATE] 232-U Hudson locomotive - ENGINE

• Updated Supercontroller logic (now the boiler should not explode when turning off the engine)
  
• Lowered firebox max temperature from 180°C to 170°C

After working on the previous two articulated garratt type locomotives, a heavy express locomotive type 241-P, and finally the "Golden Arrow" locomotive type 231-K, I decided to make one of french 1940's streamlined prototype locomotive : the 232-U "Hudson" that is displayed in the French Railway Museum of Mulhouse.
I'm proud of the overall result and I was careful to keep it very close to the real locomotive displayed in the museum.

This loco is powered by a Steam boiler connected to the Steam pistons and a steam turbine with a generator.
As the big train wheels are completely bugged, I made an auxiliary electric transmission to help the loco to move smoothly with heavy loads.

I tried to made this loco as easy as possible to drive.
I made everything concerning the steam engine automaticaly managed so you have no chance of boiler overpressure explosion or overheat (but you still need to put coal and refill boiler with water).

To start the boiler you only have to turn on the key on the top of the firebox.
On the righ side of the firebox you can switch on the water pumps to refill the boiler.

note : water gauges in the center of the firebox have 2 indicators :
- Red indicator corresponds to maximum water capacity
- White indicator corresponds to current water-level



In-game :

• Mass : around 11000 blocks
  
• Max speed (light weight) : 22.5m/s (80km/h = 49.5mph)
  
• Max speed (heavy weight) : 16.7m/s (60km/h = 37.2mph)
