LNER Gresley P2 2-8-2

LNER Gresley P2 2-8-2

So I had like 60% of the meshwork and 80% of the texture work from the A4 mod that could be recycled into a P2.

So…. I did. Enjoy!

Note that the P2 doesn’t include randomized nameplates – given there are only, what, 6, 7 names for the class, I felt it would cause a lot of repeated names if anyone decided to use any decent amount of these.

Features:
LNER P2 in 4 liveries across 2 variants.
Liveries include LNER Green, LNER Wartime Black, BR Blue & BR Green.
Pre- and post-war variants with side covers included/removed where suitable.
Full aging and recolor support. Detailed dirt and rust accumulate as the engine ages.
Engines are sorted in a single depot menu to reduce purchase menu clutter.
Reverse variants of all included engines.
Small file size (~60mb) and .dds compressed textures, to help with load speed.
Loads to reduce GPU load (Meshes are ~ 38k 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.
