However, it's halfway decent as it is and quite good fun to play with. Stats are provisional, but should be in the ballpark. After some discussion between RoR and myself we decided it was best to stick to the original plan, and set it up for express on grades with a moderate top speed and an 1865 introduction date. This is basically what the prototype was built for. It started its life hauling Civil War troops and supplies over the Allegheny Mountains.
Anyway, here it is.

Zip is attached below. Installation is the usual. EngineTypes files in Data/EngineTypes. PK4 in PopTopExtraContent.
Edit: Stats have been revised already, after some in-game testing indicated they should be changed to better fit with other US locos of the period. If anyone wants to try them, I've packed up the EngineTypes files with the current test stats for the Perkins, Connie, Mogul, Pennsy H3 and Eight Wheeler. Zip attached below.
These stats seem to be playing well as a good mix on the Guatemala map, which has a good range of terrain for testing. They are being used with my custom cargo cars, so freight weights range from 90% to 150% of PopTop B era freight, while express cars are 65% of the PopTop B era weights.
