Really love these packs. Best mod IMO cus i can headcanon having my own seperate competing railways with their own designes. 10/10 immersive af.

Hey at least it's balanced out with prices i guess.

@Damgam: vanilla state and especially 19th century economy are pretty broken anyway so I never tried to balance around those stats. My 1850's stuff is prety much all OP xP

I have to say i love this pack but i have one little problem with it... Locomotives here are overpowered compared to vanilla xD

Fair enough. There's more then enough in this pack already to set up and run your own fictional pre-grouping railway as is without having to use engines from Great Britain's historic railways.

@stlsf4003: At this stage its more of a 'ill make something if i feel like it' sorta deal. So theres a possibility of going into the grouping era. Nationalisation is unlikely, since generic BR steam is just....Br steam lol.

Since you have more locomotives planed for this pack, is the cut off point still 1915 or will it be pushed to just before the grouping act?

UPDATE: Small adjustment to the gloss textures.

any chance for and generic pacific tender engine

What year does the 4-6-2T unlock?

UPDATE: New, red with gold lining livery added to all engine types. Like the other two liveries, the lined red fully recolourable, ages, reverse versions, assets etc. all that good stuff. This is intended to give players a few more options with livery variety, and also helps imitate a few more RL liveries more easily or appropriately.

Ah, okay.
Thanks for the reply!

@Marius_Mustang its highly unlikely. This pack still doesn't have everything I want it to have, so any generic engines work I do will be going towards expanding this pack.

This is a great mod!

Is there any chance for other Generic Engine Pack for other countries? Like, for example Austria?

I got it working thanks

I actually had the same issue with the new units not appearing because the mod wouldn't update. Ended up uninstalling and re-installing the game, which does come with its own penalties.
@Gr1m - you might want to increment the minor version number listed in mod.lua - I believe this will help with the update being pushed out to users.

This has to be one of my favorite mods on the workshop at the moment but im not seeing those 3 new engines ive even gone to 2000 with no end year and still wont show up so if you can find the problem because the models sound great.

UPDATE: Fixed the number labels on some engines, some slight texture changes and altered the overall engine life.

Most notably, I've also added 3 new engines, all with the usual bells and whistles. Now included in the pack are an 0-6-0 tank engine, a 2-8-0 tender engine, and a 4-6-2 tank engine. Enjoy!

The lifespan of these locos are much shorter than both vanilla and other mod locos. Could you please extend there lifespan to 30 - 40 years which will match most of the other locos in the game?

I use this mod so, so, so much. Thank you!

Oh my so many!

Does this replace Generic Small British Tank Engines

Small update: Added a 4-6-0 tender engine, available in 1915.

@Rikev: The aging probably will be tweaked soon, but I'm working on another large generic pack style mod, so I'm aiming to balance them both together so its more consistant. But yeah it definitely feels a little too short, so its on the to-do list.

Hi Rikev: Try this mod, it will help with the ageing problem at 1/4 speed. It works for me, I always play at 1/4 speed.

An excellent pack Gr1m. I have played with it from 1850 to 1900 on quarter speed and it makes a massive difference to early game and much more interesting. The renumbering on the sides is a nice touch and the engines look very pretty and effective. :)

I would say one thing that could be tweaked is the lifetime of the engines as they seem to degrade pretty quickly at only 4 years, so I've mostly got rustbuckets roaming my network, but I am not sure if that's down to my game speed.

@Seriphyn: This effectively, spiritually replaces the old generic set, so I've tried to make replacements for all of the old engines, but for example there were a few small 0-6-0s tank engines in the old pack that don't exist in the new pack, but there's a bunch of small tank engine options that fill that niche in different ways instead and largely look similar visually anyway.

By turning off the previous generic set of yours, I'm not missing out on any locos right? Great stuff btw, makes 1850-1900 far less boring.

Dude your stuff is amazing. Seriously great Mods. Very talented. Oh and thank you!

@mallard4468: The 2-6-0 mogul was accidentally 'hidden' because It wasn't in the construction menu, which is what I used for the screenshots for the mod because its a little quicker to do it that way. It also why there aren't any crews in the cabins or steam/smoke being emitted etc.

So I've just updated the mod to remedy that.Funnily enough I stumbled on that exact issue last night and was planning on updating the pack today anyway!

The garratt weight issue has been fixed as well. Thanks for reporting the issues!

So, me again ^^' First: The hidden Mogul in the pack was a neat surprise, I love her very much. Second: I found another little error. The lined blue Garratt has a weight of 1100 tons.

UPDATE: Firstly the start dates have been adjusted -rather than getting slabs of locos at the start of a decade, they're dripfed over multiple years. This is partially to avoid the way the game shudders to a halt at the start of a year as it tries to load all of the new vehicles, partially to make the ingame menu more organised, and partially to help encourage players to use more engines over time, rather than sticking with a favourite.

I also adjusted the naming conventions slightly to help keep the menu a bit more orderly.

Pretty much all of the stats have been tweaked and adjusted as well. There's too many changes to list, but broadly on the whole, engines are slightly less powerful and heavier, with some engines getting slight buffs to their top speed. They're still very powerful, especially 1850s-1870s they're very expensive and very powerful compared to vanilla, but the vanilla game is kind of broken in those years anyway so I'm not too concerned about early game balance >.>

Hey Gr1m, I just noticed two things, dunno if they are supposed to be like this, or if they are coding errors: The 0-4-4T in its unliked black livery only has a top speed of 96km/h, as opposed to the lined blue at 108km/h. Also, the 4-2-2 has a maximum power of 200kw in both versions. Again, dunno if that is supposed to be, but it feels a bit weird, as the Mid 2-2-2 already has 400kw power output

Oh lordy Gr1m, you've outdone yourself mate. I also love the fact its compatible with the old mod. You can now take a break.

Update: there was an issue with the 0-4-2ST where it was showing up as an 0-4-0 saddle tank with no animations - thats now been fixed.

Would it be possible to get logo'd versions of these, doing individual models might be a bit extra but would it be possible to have randomised logos of various train companies/BR similarly to how the A4 nameplates are random?

Excellent mod; I've just added it to my savegame, and the locomotives fit in beautifully with the existing 19th century British railways theme.

Great mod!!! Any plans for a "Part 2" of this pack for Amalgamation and National-era British Steam? I'd love to see your take on 4-6-2s, 2-8-0s, and 2-10-0s!

seems the bug I was talking about was fixed. I can't find it either...

really nice, you remain the best uk tpf2 modder

Sehr gute Loks und Designs und die Vielfalt ist sehr groß. Es ist einfach für jeden was dabei. Weiter so Gr1m
!

@Austinmartin1999 I've had a look and cant seem to see any issue on my end. Can you confirm this is still this case? Is it the blue or black versions, or both? Any additional information you can give me would be helpful.

the 0-4-0WT (mid) is bugged. The wheels don't move, but the train does.

Now we need Generic British Wagons Pack :D
I love it!

Wow, timing lol. Check again - I must have been in the midst of updating hah xP

Hey Gr1m. I love this mod so much and you are an absolute unit of a guy

Also your description deleted itself when you updated.

Accidentally saved one of the textures in the wrong format - the colour blend, dirt and rust should be fixed now.

whoops, forgot to setup the lods, hah >.> i'll fix that tonight or tomorrow.

Sorry I've found another glitch with the 0-4-4T and 0-6-2T. They disappear as you zoom out, leaving the train without a loco. The smoke is sill visible!
PS: I have also used the 0-6-0 locos, they do not share the problem.

@Austinmartin1999 funnily enough I just discovered that one myself. Thanks for reporting it - it'll be updated within the next couple of hours.

Thomas and the gang.
