LNER Gresley A1 & A3 Pacifics

LNER Gresley A1 & A3 Pacifics

LNER Gresley A1 & A3 4-6-2 Pacifics
Same deal as with the A4 – the vanilla version was overdue for a replacement, so I finally got around to making one. Gresley’s famous A1 and A3 Pacifics, made most famous by good old Flying Scotsman.

Features
LNER A1 in 2 liveries
LNER A1 liveries include LNER green and LNER wartime black.
LNER A3 in 4 liveries across 4 variants.
Liveries include LNER Green, LNER Wartime Black, BR Blue & BR Green.
Tender variants include two tender variants – GNR style tender and an LNER corridor tender.
Engine variants include two dome styles, as well as German-style smoke deflectors & double exhaust for the BR liveries (LNER versions of this unlock in 1969 if you want to use them to reflect Flying Scotsman and heritage railways.)
Full aging and recolor support. Detailed dirt and rust accumulate as the engine ages.
Engines are sorted in depot menus to reduce purchase menu clutter.
Reverse variants of all included engines.
Small file size (~100mb) and .dds compressed textures, to help with load speed.
Loads to reduce GPU load (Meshes are ~ 43k tris as well – should be potato PC-friendly)
Placeable rail assets (also with loads) allowing placement of the full engine, or just the tender or locomotive if you wish.
Moddable engine numbers – edit the number of the train and the number will display on the side of the locomotive.
