hi Gr1m is it possible to have the loco unbranded as i was thinking for role play like games say like how nigel gresley built this loco but was apart of the GWR, SR or LMS not as a engineer of the LNER more over a what if the loco was built sa say a machine any company could buy and put there stamp on it it would be an interesting idea i feel as the A4 is one of my favorite locomotives.

UPDATE: New interior mesh details, updates to LNER liveries with new logos.

@Talyllyn No.1 Check under your steam multiple units in the menu. I think these appear there because they have a passenger capacity of 1 for the locomotive.

UPDATE: Small adjustment to the gloss textures.

Hey there, I was wondering if there is anyway that you can pick which nameplate is on the engine. I am trying to make a Silver Jubilee consist and having all four of the A4 with their respective names would be great

@Talyllyn No.1 they won't appear if you sort by steam traction for....reasons. So you'll need to search them by name or navigate the full list manually. Let me know if you can find them that way.

These A4s don't appear in game for me. I have them installed and turned on but they don't appear, Admittedly I have other A4 addons, would they clash with this addon?

Really Great mod. Could you include the 200+ km/h A4 variant you had in your old A3/A4 mod, so we can have them with the improved textures?

Brilliant outside-the-box thinking in your mod design for implementing the nameplates, that's nigh-on genius. It's a shame the core game shifts their menu location to multiple units as a result, but it's a very worthwhile trade-off. Incredible attention to detail Gr1m... so, so good.

UPDATE: Small mesh addition from the P1 to make the engine and tender feel more connected.

Any chance of these beasties?

@Dourbracken: Yeah I think thats a side effect of the slightly odd method I used to get the nameplate working (you might notice the A4 has a passenger capacity of 1 - Basically I'm using the coding used for custom freight cargo to instead display the nameplates!) So I'm not sure if thats something I can fix. But I'll have another look at it at the very least.

Hey, awesome job on this! I just wanted to note that for whatever reason, the engines aren't listed under steam locomotives, but only under all.

Small update - minor texture adjustments.

can you do the same thing with a3s / a1s

UPDATE: Small bug fixes and texture tweaks.,

i really like what you did because im a huge A4 fan but to make it better can you make it not just an asset but like the P2 you did that can actually move but still using them liveries please i would appreciate that very much

Any chance you'd be able to add randomised nameplates to the Builleid pacifics/Merchant Navy mods? It's a really good aspect of this mod!

The LNER on the tender is *way* too big, the number font is too large too, otherwise it looks really nice!

Uh no British Railways experimental Purple A4???!! I am very sad and you have let my family down :( son is crying.

A much needed locomotive. Wish there was more LNER locomotives to mach

wow - big, massive difference to the original.

Thank You.

I would really like to see the General locomotive get this sort of overhaul...

It's a joy to have you back again! And this scratch built A4 is just superb! You haven't rusted a bit, that is for sure ^^

Nice job! Thanks.

This is amazing, fantastic...you know, if you still have the modelling this would pair very well with some LNER coaching stock....but really silly hints aside well done. It is very nice and I appreciate the potato friendliness

This is brilliant - thank you. I'd given up using the original A4 because it just didn't look right. Have used SteveM4's LMS streamliners - possibly because I did the Coronation Scot coaches for them :-) - but now I can introduce a rival in the high-speed stakes...

Ngl I think so far this is the most amazing mod you've released.(I still love all your other mods and use them everyday) The level in detail is insane, and I rly love that u included that they start to get dirty and rusty. That's a thing most mods don't have. It's not that bad, but it's a nice detail for story telling...and yes...I do story telling in a tycoon game xD

These look fantastic. Going right on my express trains.
Is there any way to disable the name plates, like the screenshots?

YESSSSSSS ANOTHER GR1M LOCO

Still love your LBSC work to bits. Would you ever consider commisions in the future? Would love to flesh out the southern region more.

180 kph. This baby flies. Thank you.

Note that if you're looking for a specific nameplate/livery combination, I'll be releasing a companion mod in the next few days with a few specific options. I didn't want to include this in the base mod to avoid menu bloat. Let me know what combinations you'd like to see, and I'll try to add them.
