I take the Flanders storm to be a 92, screamer to be a 90, roarer to be 85/86, the double head one to be a 77. I can't really see anything missing.
The shoebox is a 73, but that's different.

Yup the Flanders Storm and Screamer are roughly 92 and 90. The Roarer is a composite of 81-86. The double-head is an almost-IRL 76. Something like the 77 appears in 1935, with the stats dibbled a lot.
The Shoeboxes are composites of 73/74, and heavily dibbled stats. There's a Sizzler in 2025 or so which is a composite of EuroLight (88) and UKTraxx (proposed but never built) with the stats fake.
Gameplay needs a replacement for the 92 in 2025, which would probably have to be some kind of Siemens Vectron or Alstom Prima composite.
And there's one in 1915 which is a composite of some NER electric engines, with stats dibbled a lot.

'too many' against which yardstick

Can you create a list of the missing electrics?
Mainly Class 22s, Class 70s and Class 89s.

Maybe take some inspiration from the Brush AL10 from the old UKRS
But seriously, great looking lineup

And for those playing the quiz at home, the diesels:
* all Shoeboxes are class 73/74 hybrid with very fake stats
* Little Bear sprites are a composite of class 14 with class 15/16 or 10800 'the Wonder Engine', all stats made up
* Growler, Slug, Phoenix are all variants of class 37, with slightly-fake stats
* Dragon is made up, sprite is a composite of class 42 and 52
* Chinook is class 20 with dibbled stats
* Faun is made up...it can be retconned as a Hunslet industrial loco used by Corus Steel, or a class 17, but DHP1 would be closer
* Thunderbird is a re-engined class 50 or 47
* Cheddar Valley is a 59 with fake stats
* Turtle is a 68 with slightly fake stats
* Chimera is a 70 with slightly fake stats

This must've been my confusion. My bad.

Since you seem to be using prototypes, what about the GT3?

The new BR Class 88 would be good as a replacement too.
How about Class 22s (the second one), Class 70s and Class 89s ? I know Class 22 isn't really english though - it did, however go on the British network.
Side note - really great things otherwise.

Flanders Storm <3
They’ve always been my favourite loco, ever since I saw one roar like a fighter jet through Rugeley Trent Valley in the mid 2000s. If you’d not included the 92 I’d have written a strongly worded letter to the relevant place.

Well it least it belongs on (electric) class 70s. There were 3 of those.

Oh, yes, sorry. Class 89, simply.
The Class 70 composed 3 engines, though i can't tell how much Class 22 electrics in the UK. I did see one once in the UK, but later then they were replaced by the Class 92s.

Found a sprite alignment issue with one of the mail cars.

Is that Iron Horse 1 or Iron Horse 2?

What's happening with 2.0? Where can I get a copy? Or at least a roster?

Specifically, I'm wondering if the Combine Car is still part of Iron Horse 2.0?
