LB&SCR B4 Class 4-4-0

Description
Yep, another LB&SCR engine. You'd think I'd be running out of these at this point.

And yet. >.>

Anywho, this is a LB&SCR B4, designed by R J Billinton and considered one of his best engines. This 4-4-0 is intended for fast, but particularly heavy passenger services.

Comes with tinting, aging, logo support, and a reversed version. UPDATE: Placeable version added!

I've also thrown in a B2 for free, since they're so similar.

Like my mods? Then please consider sending a small donation to show your appreciation at https://www.paypal.me/GreenRanger - by no means should you feel obligated in any way to do so, but every little bit helps with various bills and living expenses and whatnot (and I'm sure you can appreciate, it can be tough to make ends meet!). Any money goes towards essentially helping me produce more models of better quality, and more quickly and efficiently. But, like I said, please by no means should you feel obligated to do so.

Edward isn't really based off of any one specific engine. According to Awdry, Edward is based on a heavily modified Sharp, Stewart and Co. "Larger Seagull" K2 Class, supplied to the Furness Railway in 1896. Awdry modified him though, by giving him much smaller driving wheels than the actual K2 class, and a different tender, if memory serves.

This would more closely fit Molly, though it's still not the same class.

@Aunt Jenny (106): I mean, it isn't Edward (though I get the resemblance, it's just not the same engine he's based off IIRC), but yep, all of my engines support tinting/recolouring.

I mean the blue tints aren't great IMHO, but that's a fault of the game itself and there's nothing I can do about that. >.>

@gr1m. Is "Edward" a recolorable engine?
Because I wanna paint him blue.

How about the I3 4-4-2T tank originally built for the Brighton main line, regarded as Marsh's best locos.
Then there is always Billington's massive L class Baltic tanks (4-6-4T) the last steam locos built for the Brighton main line before the electrics took over.

@SovierOnion: I've had a bunch of requests for it already. It's less to do with the whole Thomas thing, and more to do with...I dunno, I just find nothing about the E2 interesting. Visually they're bland as hell, historically they weren't that good, and they only made, what, ten of them anyway? There's a lot of really cool, exciting or interesting LBSCR engines, but to me the E2 just isn't one of them, so there's no real interest in making one.

I mean, eventually, there's going to be that one troll who's gonna say "where the hell is Thomas?" without realising how flawed the E2s actually were.

It's ironic that (I think) all of the engines, even the most famous class, that Billinton designed to replace older models are gone, whereas there are still a couple of William Stroudley locos floating around, like Stepney and Gladstone.
