The GWR 4200 class was the UK's first 2-8-0 wheel base tank engine and were based on the 2800 class. They were developed for Welsh coal trains that required high tractive effort and could handle undulating track, steep inclines and tight corners. 105 were built and 5 have been preserved.

The GWR 5205 class was a refinement of the 4200 class with outside steam pipes and slightly larger cylinders for a bit more power. There were typically for Welsh coal trains that required high tractive effort and could handle undulating track, steep inclines and tight corners. 100 were built and 3 have been preserved.

The GWR 7200 class was the UK's first, and only, 2-8-2 wheel base tank engine and were based on the 4200 class. The coal bunker was extended by 1.2m at the rear requiring a set of trailing wheels and making them the largest GWR tank engine. 54 were rebuilt from other classes and 3 survive and await restoration.

Reversible - can reverse instead of flipping at the end of the line, when another reversible item is on the other end of the train, or when on its own. (Lamps and crew swap to match direct. Dedicated Reversed versions not included as now possible with the game's interface.)
Custom sound effects. Extra/custom steam effects. Supports user colours. No ageing or user logo. 18 on-build camera views (8 custom on each side). Includes placeable Asset versions.
Performance/internals: 5 LODs (~29,300 to ~50 tris). Textures mostly TGA, 2K and less. 2 items grouping menus.

The king class they were 4 cylinder engine design they were going to be named after Cathedrals but the GWR decided to name after kings, Only 3 of them were preserved I did one visited America number 6000 King George the 5th visit America on the B&O, and then it was returned back to the UK.

@H&W 38 Trainz, @TanWilliaminthehouse - I have various things I'm looking at, but my next engine may well be the King Class.

But still this engine is till nice to have, I wonder what engines are going to be next off the GWR list of steam.

I wonder what other great western engines are next? I'm have this model working on my railway.

It did but I fixed it by verifying the files and it works now.

It would be cool if you'd create a king class or a city class, those are my favourite!

@H&W 38 Trainz - Did it give any error message when the game crashed?
