UPDATE: Kind of doing a massive batch of updates, so please see here for information: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/workshop/discussions/18446744073709551615/1681441347871087327/?appid=446800

UPDATE: Fixes to the mesh and textures so the file is generally smaller and will look a bit nicer - particularly the reflection on surfaces like the boiler.

Also new smoke emitters - If you're already running these engines in game, just send them to a depot and back out again to activate the new smoke emitters.

Glad to hear it! :D

@gr1m Have finally started a new map and am very happy to report that all is now well for me with the D2. Thanks for all your hard work :D

So many thanks for your super LB&SCR locos and stock. I really envy your skill and dedication.

@Hanszeehock: Try again now. I discovered another rogue .mtl file, this time in the C/C1 class mod, that I've since removed and updated. It should work now.

@gr1m unfortunately the problem hasn't gone away. I've tried the mod on a totally new map. My only thought is that it must be an issue with another mod ? As I mentioned this only affects the D2 no problem with your other brilliant mods :(

@Hanszeehock: Okay, I think I know what caused the problem - I've deleted some rogue files I found in the D1 mod and updated it. Let me know if that fixes it. :)

Sorry try this https://i.imgur.com/A7OFTmP.jpg

@Hanszeehock: I can't see the screenshot you linked. >.>

Any ideas why this happened ? Only affected this loco https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/profiles/76561198091360107/screenshots/

UPDATE: Quick quality control pass; cleaning up the folder, using dds files to reduce file size and making some minor model changes.

UPDATE: I've just made some minor adjustments to weight and tractive effort to bring it in line with some well-sourced values I've discovered. Top speed has also been adjusted slightly - partially to help increase differentiation between the G, D2 and B1 locomotives, while also trying to keep gameplay and balance in relation to other mods.

Now that's a sharp looking train

Stunning. More pre-grouping engines to play with!

Ok btw thanks for the cool steam trains, keep up the great work!

@Funtime Freddy at this stage the only tank I have planned is a D1.

Ever thought about doing an LB&SCR E2?

@JK I don't have any immediate plans to do so - part of why I tried to make sure that these engines tint fairly well is that I'm not keen on the idea of making a dozen different liveries for each locomotive, as this is more about learning and getting better at 3D modelling for me.

At the very least, I want to get through the engines I listed below before I make any new commitments, so if I do decide to make alternate liveries, it'll be after those engines are done.

Good work again. I love the LB&SCR 'road-map'. Have you considered doing post-grouping Southern liveried versions of some these? (With a little extra code it's possible to use all the same .grp and .msh files and just have different .mtl files and textures for the liveried parts. Then it's just duplicating the .mdl files and toggling the numbers that select the livery.)

can u put a link with the mod of the station of the first pfoho? pls and good mod

Keep up the great work!

Agreed, I can't wait.

Just as a quick heads up to get in before the requests start flying, but I'm already starting work on several of Stroudley's other engines - mostly because they all more or less borrow from the same frame and boiler shapes, so it's easy to churn out a number of 19th Century engines with less work, and I figure I've already done most of the hard work, so I might as well.

So, coming soon (in no particular order):
LB&SCR G Class 2-2-2 (Engine model 100%, texturing ~95%, new tender model ~50%)
LB&SCR B1 "Gladstone" Class 0-4-2 (Engine model ~80%, texturing ~95%, shared tender model with above)
LB&SCR C/C1 Class 0-6-0 (Engine model ~90%, texturing ~95%)
LB&SCR D1 'D-tank' (Engine model~50%, Texturing ~70%)

Dude keep it up, these are epic. The more British trains, the merrier!
