SNCF 241P
These huge 4-8-2s were built by the SNCF in the late 1940s to handle the heavy post-war traffic. These were some of the largest steam locomotives to operate on continental Europe, and some of the last to operate in France, being withdrawn in the 1970s. A total of 35 were built between ’48 and ’52, and withdrawal began in ’73.

Description en français de Wikipedia parce que je ne comprends pas le français
Wiki:
Ces locomotives étaient de type compound à quatre cylindres et quatre essieux couplés, avec les cylindres haute pression placés à l’intérieur du châssis entre le premier et le second essieu moteur entraînant le troisième essieu moteur, tandis que les cylindres basse pression situés à l’extérieur entraînaient le deuxième essieu moteur. La distribution haute pression était commandée par renvoi de mouvement des tiroirs basse pression et avance prise sur les contre-tiges des pistons haute pression

Notes:-
Lights currently do not work, still figuring that one out
Tender mesh may need touching up, but I think I have just been staring at it too long
To improve performance, the double chimney only has one particle emitter.
Some wheels have a texture artefact where the black centres look green for some reason.
Textures are probably going to be updated at some point, maybe.
