I think that it would be cool to have another record-setting locomotive for LoMo. It is available for MSTS.
Would anyone be willing to make it?

Remember it was never confirmed to go over 100mph.

Record breaker or not, it's still a beautiful locomotive.

Well done - but spot one word.
It was reputedly the first steam locomotive in Europe to travel in excess of 100 mph
No conclusive evidence exists that it did
Agreed - a nice loco, but to put it simply, to reach its claimed speed it would have to have been creating 3000hp or more.....which is just under that of a Deltic - I hardly think a GWR 4-4-0 could be capable of that.

You never know (maybe divine intervention).
