Config for Py8 tune A2 with MSTW2008LO tune
The default version of this includes EvtGen for standardised b fragmentation
This tune is generally only used for pile up samples at the start of run 2 
for high pT physics at the start of run 2 the A14 tune is more appropriate.  
There are also more recent soft QCD tunes, such as Monash, 
but A2 was a conservative choice for initial 13 TeV pile up
