is that based off of something real or is that something madeup

I take my previous statement back. That looks more like an LNER V2 to me.

To the average british rail enthusiast, this just seems like a LNER A1(/1).

But then you look at the wheels and realise...

That is one H E C C I N G C H O N K E R

Soooo, you basically combined the look of the p1, and the SPEED AND POWER, of the P2. TAKE ME MONEY.

I don't think anything would have changed Thompson's mind about what to do with the P2s, I think the best chance a P3 would have had would have been with Peppercorn

Love this, gives me that Henry vibe.

@kevin_o-1986 it definitely wouldn't have been a possibility if nationalisation hadn't happened, nevermind that all of the Big 4 were flat broke after the war, the 2-8-2 wheel arrangement was one that didn't work out on the LNER, there is a reason the P1s were scrapped and the P2s were rebuilt into conventional Pacifics. Unless there was something drawn up, there's no chance of it existing in a theoretical "No BR" scenario.

Don't get me wrong, I like the mod and I'll be using it, but saying it was "a possibility" is simply not true.

Those smoke deflectors make me think we might be in for a Tornado in the near future..

Looks beautiful! Thanks.
