Because I'll probably be glossed over for being the last post on the previous page, and because I meant a streamlined steam locomotive. I'm a terrible pixel artist, but if Pikkabird is willing to lend me their sprites from UKRS1 I'd gladly edit them for you.SimYouLater wrote:It would be nice if this set had a streamlined train.

I don't think an A4 really fits what Andy is going for with Horse, but you never know. I guess one of the reasons the A4 always stands out so much in our imagination (other than TTO) is that the UK didn't really have that many streamlined locomotives, as compared with say the US. Something so sleek may not fit the gestalt of british trains as it exists in Andy's mind.SimYouLater wrote:Because I'll probably be glossed over for being the last post on the previous page, and because I meant a streamlined steam locomotive.

UK actually had a lot of streamliners, though they weren't much of a use as distances in the UK between cities, and in Europe generally, are very short.supermop wrote:I don't think an A4 really fits what Andy is going for with Horse, but you never know.

Andy has access to the UKRS2 sprites, and anyone else is welcome to modify them too. But I think you'd be better off starting from scratch, and trying to match the style of the existing IH big locos.SimYouLater wrote:if Pikkabird is willing to lend me their sprites from UKRS1 I'd gladly edit them for you.
Ten LMS Coronations; two LNER B17s, six P2s and 35 A4s; 30 SR Merchant Navies and 110 Light Pacifics. And a few oddities like the W1 and GWR 6014.acs121 wrote:UK actually had a lot of streamliners

Counting all streamliners you cited, it's 160 streamliners in total.PikkaBird wrote:Andy has access to the UKRS2 sprites, and anyone else is welcome to modify them too.

Notable takeaways: more than 2/3rds of British streamliners were Bulleid's "air-smoothed" Pacifics, and only a dozen weren't either Bulleid or Gresley designs. On the other hand, the Gresley A4s were the only class that weren't substantially rebuilt to remove their casings later in life. So a "representative" streamliner really has to be based on either the A4 or the Bulleid Pacifics.

"typical ... locomotive" means when i'm talking to you about a country's locomotives, which locomotives will you be talking about first ?Dave wrote:I’ve split a number of posts about licensing off from this thread.
1 because it ruins my enjoyment of Andy’s outstanding work and 2 because discussing with people other than the rights holder how they should like to be credited is inconsiderate.
As for “typical British steam locomotives” - where to start? Except to say I won’t be buying this set if there isn’t *long list of locomotives*...
Need some help for names it seems ? I can do that, you knowandythenorth wrote:v2, v1. Such sprites.
Looks very good. One thing to note though, there are too many Diesels.andythenorth wrote:Horse is Horse

Can you create a list of the missing electrics?acs121 wrote:I've only noticed it now that there are 14 diesels and 8 electrics (counting shoeboxes as diesels AND as electrics). Quite contradictory as the UK always had a lot of electrics.
