Editing Class B2 (section)

== Trivia ==

* It is stronger than the Class B, but slower by half due to lacking leading wheels.
* It is roughly the same size as the [[Class J2]].
* The Class B2 is heavily based on a real locomotive class, the [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/KkStB_135 kkStB 135] built in 1871.
* The Class B2's center pair of driving wheels are blind, lacking wheel flanges and guide spheres to allow the engine to take sharper turns without derailing.
* According to GregTame, the long, unsupported length of the Class B's boiler resulted in the flues and boiler warping which directly led to the development of the improved Class B2. The Class B2 was made by taking an angle grinder to the boiler and making it a few feet shorter, adding a cab, and replacing the leading wheels with an extra pair of drivers.
