LNER Gresley P1 2-8-2
Turn out if you take an A1 boiler, strap it onto some big cylinders and 8 driving wheels, it makes for a pretty OP freight engine. This sucker was too powerful for the LNER’s demands (The 100 coal wagon-long trains this was intended to haul didn’t really fit into the network all that well) and it burned way too much coal in the process. Luckily none of these things are a consideration in TpF2, so I enabled it to survive right up until the end of steam and added some BR liveries as well. 🙂
I’ve also included variants with the big GNR 8-wheel tender from the A1 because….I dunno, it looks cool.
-LNER P1 in 6 liveries
-Liveries include LNER Black, LNER Green, LNER wartime black, BR Green, BR Blue and BR Black.
-Tender variants include two tender variants – LNER 6-wheel tender and GNR style 8-wheel tender.
-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 and .dds compressed textures, to help with load speed.
-Lods to reduce GPU load.
-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.
