This might be kind of a dumb question, but can these "class leaders" be fictional. Or does it have to be prototype-related.

 

[nicky9499]

Prototypes are great, but if it's a cool work of fiction such as JR's MP2800/SW1200RS that's fine too.

No.1 'Talyllyn' and No.2 'Dolgoch' were built in 1864 & 1866 respectively to work the Talyllyn Railway. They worked the line solo until 1951 when No.3 'Sir Haydn' and No.4 'Edward Thomas' were bought and brought in.

It's been a while since I entered one of these, so how about this?

It's Skarloey's and Rheneas basis!

Southern Railway #4501, the Southern's first 2-8-2, leads NKP #763 up to Sugarcreek with a heavy grain train.

Since we have the fabulous Talyllyn and Dolgoch in a screenshot, why don't we have there brother's?

Class leaders Skarloey and Rheneas get ready for a hard days work on the Skarloey Railway.

How about N&W's J600 in T:ANE ce 1.1



Installed without any errors or warnings but I think the smoke volume is down a bit and the engine spec needs to be modified for T:ANE.

First of the last

.
The final class of steam locomotives built in the UK for use on British Railways was the classic 9F.

Introduced in January 1954, the class comprised 251 locomotives. Many of the class lasted only a few years in service before withdrawal when steam traction ended on the mainline in Britain. Withdrawals of the class from everyday service began in May 1964, and had been completed by June 1968.

Here’s the first number in the series, 92000.

After more than a century of steam railways the local cattle got quite used to trains running close by!
