LNWR 2-2-2-2 ‘Greater Britain’ Mod
Looong boi.
These huge engines were developed by the LNWR’s chief lad Webb in the 1890s, and were moderately okay. Their key selling point is that the driving wheels are not coupled together, meaning that the engine is more similar to 2 single wheelers than an Atlantic missing a wheel.
A big inside cylinder powered the front drivers, and the smaller outside cylinders powered the rearmost drivers.
The engines were withdrawn by 1907, but I have extended their availability into the grouping, and also an LMS version for the memes.

Speed: 70mph
Power: 548hp
T/E: 13,488 lb/f (What value would you prefer me to use, if not Pound Force)
