@James I seem to recall there is an equation for calculating the power of a steam locomotive, and that's the number it spat out. As you say, rating power output of steam locomotives is a nightmare and thus sometimes you have to guess. I'll have a look into this if I have time!

P.S. Either/or I forgot to change the value from whatever train I based the MDL file on.... :P

@planesimple - thank you for a fantastic looking loco. It seems a bit over-powered though. 1702 Kw makes it significantly more powerful than a Class 40, for example. Should it have been 1701 Horsepower, which sounds about right? Rating power output of steam locos is a nightmare, I know, but I’m interested in your thoughts.

@dylambert Discord: @PlaneSimple#1494 :)

@planesimple how can I get a hold of you then?

Yes please! @dylambert :)

So get in touch via discord on talking about commissioning a mod? I'd be interested in having you tackle an engine.

@briansyston: It's in the workshop re dark ballast track

Looks wonderful, how do you get the dark sleeper track?

Glad to see more BR steam engines
