Description

With a monstrous 8ft driving wheel, Patrick Stirling's 'singles' were an elegant racehorse from the late 1800s. Being built in 1870 until 1895, these 'Singles' were the top-link locomotives of their time. Only to be outshone by the 4-4-2 'Atlantics' in the 1890s. The last Single was withdrawn in 1912, but the prototype, Number 1, was selected for preservation.

For the sake of playability, the stats have been beefed a little from accurate numbers. With realistic stats in this game you were limited to about 6 wagons. Its more powerful than the G3 but weaker than the PLM, and costs a fair bit.

In reality these machines could reach 90mph, if you pushed it. I have limited this model to 75mph, allowing it to reach full chat with the 8 Wheeled Rigid-Body Teak coach included in my GNR Teak Coaches mod.

Over-beefed. OP and fairly gamebreaking. I shouldn't be able to haul 14 full tankers up a steep grade in 1880

I've done a little racing with this loco, your Midland Spinner and No. 123, and I can't help but feel like the stat tweaks spoil the Stirling a little.

The top speed in-game has actually ended up at 70 mph, not 75 - so she has nothing on the two much later singles for lighter high speed work - but she's actually considerably more powerful above 50 mph, which doesn't feel right to me given the 20 year age gap.

Perhaps a second loco might be nice - either as a second mod or an update to this one - with the 90 speed limit and the more realistic stats for people looking to have it be a little more authentic?
