Description:
LNER Gresley A1 & A3 4-6-2 Pacifics

Same deal as with the A4 – the vanilla version was overdue for a replacement, so I finally got around to making one. Gresley’s famous A1 and A3 Pacifics, made most famous by good old Flying Scotsman.

Features

-LNER A1 in 2 liveries
-LNER A1 liveries include LNER green and LNER wartime black.
-LNER A3 in 4 liveries across 4 variants.
-Liveries include LNER Green, LNER Wartime Black, BR Blue & BR Green.
-Tender variants include two tender variants – GNR style tender and an LNER corridor tender.
-Engine variants include two dome styles, as well as german-style smoke deflectors & double exhaust for the BR liveries (LNER versions of this unlock in 1969 if you want to use them to reflect Flying Scotsman and heritage railways.)
-Full aging and recolour support. Detailed dirt and rust accumulates as the engine ages.
-Engines are sorted in depot menus to reduce purchase menu clutter.
-Reverse variants of all included engines.
-Small file size (~100mb) and .dds compressed textures, to help with load speed.
-Lods to reduce GPU load (Meshes are ~ 43k tris as well – should be potato PC-friendly)
-Placeable rail assets (also with lods) allowing placement of the full engine, or just the tender or locomotive if you wish.
-Moddable engine numbers – edit the number of the train and the number will display on the side of the locomotive.
