LMS 'Duchess' 4-6-2

Description
Oh it's nothing, just the most powerful express passenger locomotive in the UK

Guess who's back, back again. Large Stanier Picific's back, tell a friend.

Returning to TpF2 after far too long is the iconic Stanier Coronation Pacific, or Duchess, depending on your preference. These are the huge unstreamlined passenger pacifics that stormed the West Coast Mainline from the late 1930s to late 1960s.

Based off of the already successful Princess Royal class, these engines went by a building regime of 'Biggest boiler, largest firebox, biggest wheels the loading gauge would allow'. The result is a huge engine capable of 100mph+ running. In 1937, a streamlined member of the class reached 114mph on the way to Crewe, and nearly derailed in the attempt (probably just trying to avoid Crewe, who can blame it).

In this pack (yes, pack) you get a total of 6 flavours to choose from:
LMS Crimson Lake
LMS Lined Black
BR Express Blue
BR Unlined Black
BR Maroon
BR Brunswick Green

For your sanity, they have a group menu so your menu isn't filled with large engines.

Not included are assets yet, may well be but I just never got around to doing it.
These engines share the same stats as listed on their Wiki page, so that's fun.

Its not required, but recommended to have the Stanier Princess Royal 4-6-2 mod installed, as these mods share some DNA and also one is a prequel to the other.

What was that?

please can someone make a new mod for these LMS designs? Like, these are good but they need a revamp.

For some reason, even when I only have this, the coronation mod, and the streamliner mod enabled, the BR locos don't seem to appear in the depot. They appear on the top bar from 1960 (not 1948 for some reason), but even then they are not purchasable in the depot. Fortunately, the pre-1948 locos do appear.

Also @Blast_Hardcheese, that image has four sets of drivers, rather than three???

Awesome to see such an amazing locomotive return! I just wanted to let you know that for some reason, on the wartime black locomotive, the training wheels are green for some reason. Maybe that's accurate, but it just seems weird to me. Thanks for the amazing loco!

I've noticed where the cab meets the firebox isn't quite accurate to the real locomotive. The firebox slants inwards more at the top to allow clear vision for the front windows which also slant into the firebox, rather than being at a 90 degree angle with the side windows:

I don't mean to be a jackass for pointing it out, and I apologise if I come off that way. You are the best mod designer for the game in my opinion, and I don't wish to dump on your great work.

@GrafLukas Exactly as you thought, subscribe separately to the "Coronation Scot" mod for the streamliners and then additionally the "Princess Royal" mod along with this one and all three mods will present their content concurrently on your next game session.

are you going to release a streamlined version, or has one already been released
GrafLukas 6 Aug, 2020 @ 9:55am 
Addition: It would be totally perfect if there was in the end just one mod containing all the different versions of the engine (different liveries and streamlined/non-streamlined), as otherwise the menu gets exceedingly crowded... ;-)
