Thanks for that IKB - I'd never realised - and apologies Tanker. It looks as if I'll have to do a bit of resignalling on the route.....

Busy days at Darlington Bank Top as 60534 Irish Elegance waits to leave on a southbound express while a J39 takes water. The space in the background will soon be filled with sidings and factories.

Trainz At Darlington Bank Top 14.924 by A1 Northeastern, on FlickrIt's definitely no problem Neville. It took me a bit of figuring out myself but I figured it operates similar to the motorways do. As long as I remember everything is lef hand then it works out perfectly!
I couldn't agree more Annie.
I bought Paul's 2Fs quite a long time ago and they served me well. But alas the massive upgrades in Trainz 19 and 22 have not been kind to them. They will forever live on in TANE and TS12 though!
Honestly, given how common the Johnson 3Fs were to routes like the SnC and PLL, I was surprised that it took so long for them to appear. They were the backbone of the MR goods work even after the arrival of the Fowler 4F and continued all the way until the late 1960s at Sheds like Skipton and Stoke. They fill a very deep need in LMS operations and am very grateful for it. Although I am and will always be a Southern enthusiast, I must admit that the Midlands have started to grow on me!

Hey y'all, no screenshots but to those who are interested: the Barrow pack has been updated with crew figure attachments! Additionally there is "a.crew" present in case you prefer one of the two-part crew meshes rather than individual driver and fireman meshes.

Thank you so much for the kind words! One thing though: these are 17in coal engines, the Cauliflowers were 18in and generally a little larger – though a little birdie told me there's plans for a Workington pack! – and the DX Goodses were long gone by BR days! Additionally, I do know of at least one photo out there of a Crewe-allocated Coal Engine with a BR number. Not having any photos of the Barrow ones, I pushed reality a bit and gave people the option.

Some Mold & Denbigh snaps from my archives.
I should be thanking you for all your amazing work on these models! The 0-6-0s in particular have filled a massive gap in modeling for BR Trainz Users - particularly the need for LMS 0-6-0s.
I find that the LMS has a LOT of successful designs that would have lasted quite long if they hadn't been culled due to being "non-standard". The L&Y Dreadnoughts, Class 31 0-8-0s and most of the NSR Fleet come to mind. But providing BR Liveries to those locomotives who were just shy of getting an official Early Crest and proper number is a fantastic idea for both enthusiasts and fictional route builders alike. I myself have structured Neville Hill's Dearnby and District as a three way junction between the Midland, Southern and Western Regions of BR and all of your locomotives have found a home there!
Although I am a Southern Region enthusiast to a fault, I have grown extremely attached to the LMS through my work with my good friend Barney. I sincerely hope you will continue making prototypical models like these, your talent is excellent and will only keep improving as you continue to pursue future projects such as these. We're all definitely rooting for you!!

That Brake Tender is an interesting piece Rolling Stock. Thank you for sharing.Most of today has involved building Low Fell station. It closed in 1952 and stood as a battered ruin until 1977 when I took a photo of it and was demolished shortly afterward. Here it is with a pair of Claytons and a brake tender.

There was a big discussion about them here a while ago. When I first built my Sunderland route it includes the prototypical Seaton Bank which is a long stretch of 1 in 39 gradient. I put a single Clayton in charge of a loaded coal train and found I couldn't put the brakes on so it ran through the trap points at Ryhope Grange Junction !
This is a nice shot of a real one circa 1967.
Thank you so so much for those kind words! It truly means a lot. I'll be trying my best to continue these, and I'll give you all a heads-up when the next pack drops! These comments alone have made the project more than worth it. I'm glad to see too that the models are getting a home on your D&D!I should be thanking you for all your amazing work on these models!
