LMS Expansion Pack
In 1923, the LMS was formed out of the constituent companies of the London, Midland and Scottish region. This pack contains 8 locomotives from 1923 to 1930, ranging from mixed traffic to express passenger. There are too many to list all the stats of here, but you can find out the fun way when they appear in your game!
All models include:
– Customised animation
– Low impact textures
– Shared tender mesh for optimisation
– Shared wheel meshes for optimisation
– 3 custom whistles: peep, poop and toot.
– Cab detail. Water gauges, regulator and reverser lever represented.
– Reversed tank engine models for suburban workings
– Custom emitters on ‘Fury’
Engines included:
– 4-4-0 4P ‘Compound’:
This was a design first created for the Midland railway in 1904 and resumed by the LMS in 1923. The model depicted is in LMS livery but available from 1904. Slightly anachronistic but you can’t win them all.
– 4-4-0 2P:
This design was intended to be an improvement on a small 4-4-0 Midland design. While it did improve on the original, it still wasn’t up to scratch with its contemporaries.
– 2-6-0 ‘Crab’:
A mixed traffic engine, Mogul could pull coaches, trucks or anything quite happily. Its odd motion and inclined cylinders earned it the nickname.
– 4-6-0 ‘Royal Scot’:
The cream of the crop, rise to the top, the Royal Scot, the best of the lot. This was the LMS answer to Gresley’s A1/3 design.
– 4-6-0 ‘Patriot’:
A smaller scot. Bit less powerful, bit less speedy. Very stylish however with smoke deflectors and clean lines
– 4-6-0 ‘Fury’:
A one off experimental high pressure engine. In reality it didn’t save on fuel or really do a whole lot, but I liked the design of the engine and it was very powerful in its time. Sadly it killed a guy so they got rid of it.
– 4-6-4 ‘Hughes Tank’:
A gigantonormous tank engine for short and speedy passenger work and sometimes freight work. This 4 cylinder behemoth was one of the largest tank engines built for UK railways at nearly 50ft long!
– 2-6-4 ‘Suburban Tank’:
A smaller and more efficient version of the Hugh-mungus 4-6-4 tank. This engine proved to have much advancements when pulling suburban services, and went on to inspire the Riddles, Fairburn and Ivatt tank locomotives.
