Elvas Tower: B&O_P7_5308 - Elvas Tower

The No. 5308 'President Tyler' was part of the P7c variant of which 5305 and 5318 also belonged. Great leading either heavyweight or lightweight B&O varnish. These locomotives were updated at Mount Claire with center Boxpox drivers and re-located compressors, bell, and headlights, plus a front wind screen to protect the equipment. This model contains updated physics and LODs.

Special thanks to Allen Norton for his wonderful model.

Poly count is 12,487 for the engine and 4,064 for the tender.
It doesn't seem to have a large impact on my computer compared to other contemporary models =AMD 2.2Ghz CPU with 1.5Gb RAM with BIN 1.7xx

There is a known front coupling bug which makes yard switching problematic (I've tried all kinds of combos of InertiaTensor/Size/BB combinations with no luck). Rear coupler works fine. However, since these engines were at the head of B&O's premier passenger varnish, it hasn't stopped me from releasing the model for beta testing.
