4-6-4 Hudson w/ Baker Valve Gear

This is a 4-6-4 Hudson type Steam Locomotive equipped with a fully functioning Baker Valve Gear. It is powered using magnets from the Electromagnets mod and is designed to run on 7u gauge tracks (tracks have 7 blocks between the rails).

The Baker Valve Gear was developed in the very early 1900s as a competitor to the long-established Walschaerts Valve Gear. Instead of a sliding die piece, Baker used a series of pin joints to achieve the same result. Because it had no sliding elements, Baker was said to require less maintenance than Walschaerts.

The inside of the cab has three gauges. The crimson one is the speedometer. The light green one displays the throttle setting. The white one displays the valve gear position, with all the way to the right being full forward, and all the way to the left being full reverse.

How to use:
To get the locomotive started, move the valve gear all the way to either the full forward or full reverse position, then begin applying throttle by pressing the 1 key. Adjust the throttle to increase or decrease power using 5 and 6. As the locomotive speeds up, gradually move the valve gear closer to the center position, but not all the way centered.

This locomotive honestly has much more power than it needs. You really won't have to go much farther than a third of max power, maybe half if you're going up a steep hill. I also do not recommend using maximum power to get moving from a dead stop, as it is likely that something will glitch out.

NOTE: This locomotive is also very laggy (having almost 80 total bearings, suspensions, and pistons certainly doesn't help). I recommend you remove the tender if you want better performance. The tender is purely aesthetic anyways.

Controls:
1. Turn cylinders on/off
2: Brakes
3: Whistle
4: Bell
5/6: Increase/Decrease throttle
7/8: Move valve gear forward/backward

Other notes:
If the valve gear looks a bit thin, you are absolutely right! I specifically designed it to fit within a space of 2u + panels so it would only be 13 blocks wide compared to the usual 15 or even 17 blocks wide that most other SM locomotives with valve gears would be.
