LNER U1 Beyer-Garratt 2-8-0+0-8-2
I must be mad for making another Garratt. I literally blame Coronavirus-related lockdowns for this – there’s no way I’d even consider this if I wasn’t trapped at home. >.>
Anyway, this is it. The LNER U1 – the biggest, baddest, most powerful steam engine ever built for the UK. Built solely for banking duties, the U1 was a class of only one engine, and was, by all accounts, something of a pain in the butts.
Luckily in TpF2 we don’t have to deal with crewmen complaining about bad steaming, complicated controls or poor pay. But on the other hand we also don’t have to worry about banking either, so in the name of making this at least somewhat practical, I’ve bumped the top speed up considerably.
Comes complete with:
-Aging,
-Colour tinting,
-Reversed engine,
-Group menu in rail depot to reduce clutter,
-Placeable rail assets for both the engine and tender.
-Two liveries – LNER and BR Black.
Available: 1925-1968
Top Speed: 96 kph
Weight: 199T
Power: 3000kW
Tractive Effort: 307kN

Any money goes towards essentially helping me produce more models of better quality, and more quickly and efficiently, and is always incredibly appreciated.
Constructive feedback is always welcome, and I love reading your comments, so if you have any notes on what I can improve, or just want to leave a nice message, by all means please leave a post below! However, I’m not currently taking requests – I’ve already got a shortlist of about a dozen different projects I’m working on – so if you have a locomotive or vehicle you desperately want to see in game, it’s best to leave a post in the Workshop forum for other modders to see and consider for their own future projects. 🙂
