Hammer Blow
4517+
===========
4518+
4519+
Hammer blow is as a result of the weights added to the wheels (eg connecting and reciprocating rods) of a steam
4520+
engine. The Excess (or Over) Balance weight was the weight that contributed to the hammer blow of the wheel, and it
4521+
increased typically with the square of the wheel speed.
4522+
4523+
When the hammer force exceeded the weight on the wheel it was possible for the wheel to lift off the rails, this
4524+
created a "hammering effect" on the rails, which could damage track and other infrastructure such as bridges.
4525+
4526+
The Hammer force is recorded in the HuD for the steam locomotive, and it will be in white text when "normal",
4527+
yellow text when within 10% of the point where the wheel will start to lift off the track, and red when the wheel
4528+
is lifting off the track.
4529+
4530+
As a result of high hammer forces, some locomotives were speed restricted to prevent excessive damage to track
4531+
infrastructure.
4532+
4533+
OR will use default values to set this feature up. If the Excess (or Over) Balance weight is known for a locomotive
4534+
it can be entered using ``ExcessRodBalance``, as a mass value.
