About This File
Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad commissioned 4 of these "Yellowbellies" in 1947 where they were produced by streamlining a Hudson 4-6-4 J class engine by wrapping it in a yellow and stainless steel cowling thus inventing the L class Hudson. This is based on #490, the only surviving member, now at a Railroad museum.
Its a pretty rare machine, in many ways. Its amazing they were built at all, as its a pretty distinctive design. I cant help feeling its like a steam engine with white-walled tyres. ;-). Nevertheless watching one of these pass must have been very impressive.
If anyone has profile shots of the engine or carriages I may be able to improve the textures. Also additional carriages for this set (for variety) would be welcomed. The livery is quite attractive and fits the game well.
