W&R steam engine locomotives

Description
This is my second attempt to mod a vehicle to this game. Thanks to all guides and authors in W&R Community!

I created this mod for early steam locomotive for my personal use and decided to share.

Note: this is not a realistic representation of an actual historic model, but resembles to No.704 Duke of Gordon.

Purchased by NWR:1923

704 was built at Doncaster in 1921 by the Great Northern Railway. Intended to be the first of the A1 class, this loco was used as a prototype ‘test mule’ for many features that would end up on the A1 pacifics, and was later dubbed the ‘A0’ class. As such, it was decided to sell the loco on to a third party rather than proceed with running a non-standard member of the class.

I did not make an original model. I imported and adapted/simplified it for the game. I used original game textures to do texture mappings, learning how to do them myself in free time.

Working head light, coal tender wagon included

Stats might not be correct - made with default soviet train for early starts:

Country of Origin: Soviet Union (imported from NWR)
Availability: 1923-1984
Max speed: 95km/h
Power: 990kw
Price: Default price
Works as a diesel locomotive for fuel - game can't support fuel as coal

Known issues:
- Some faces on the model might not have textures or have a flat colour. Updates and fixes will follow, please be patient
- Valve gears and pistons are static.
- Work in progress!

Feel free to add comments or any relative info or recommended stats for this train. Thank you very much for trying this loco out!

The first car after the tender clips into the rear of the tender, and there is a gap between tender and locomotive.

Very cool! Do you think we could have some skins for this?

@lucamotives Yes indeed the tender refers to Gordon Tender (kind of an Easter egg):lunar2019piginablanket:

The idea is ... did you use the tender for a future project for this one ? And please tell me if the shape and number 4 tender is or isn't Gordon's tender !

Speaking of Thomas the tank engine ( of wich I am a huge fan ! ) ... the tender of the engine is looking so much like Gordon's tender !!! It even haves a number 4 !

@JoMun Now someone needs to make a Thomas the tank engine series of mods!!! "The socialist Republic of Sodor!!!"

@BanzaiCharge True, but having the option to coal-fuel locos would be something great indeed early game!!!

fantastic to see some steam :)

Not having coal as fuel isn't a problem, there were plenty of steam engines converted to oil firing systems after WW2.
