As this is a VERY important question, I thought it would deserve a separate thread, rather than being put in my Question's Thread.

What is the locomotive on the cover of this book?(Which I happen to own.. :hehe:)

Darn, foiled! :hehe:

We really need more of these sort of 4-4-0s in Trainz, particularly the Scottish ones, which I think are really good looking engines (especially ones with smokebox wing plates).

Admit it, you WANT a hell load of Caledonian, if that's true, dam right! I'm with you, there's not enough!
(The only coaches close are the LBSCR ones so far..)
Also, I'd like to see an image of these smokebox 'wing' plates..

I must admit though, more 4-4-0's would be nice, particularly the one mentioned..

This is the style I like (designed by Drummond who built similar locos for many railways). The wingplates are the flat sheets at the front of the smokebox which flair out at the bottom. They serve no practical purpose, they just look nice!

I'm unsure which image you refer to, could you paste an image?

 

[edh6]

There should be a single image when you click the link... I can't embed here due to restrictions on Smugmug.
