Description
'Phase 1' Set: https://test-steamproxy.haloskins.io/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1936362896
Not required but recommended for consistency (and passenger wagons).

Part 2 of the LNWR set, featuring locomotives from 1860 - 1900, and a custom set of freight wagons (allowing higher speeds).

Passenger locomotives:
2-4-0 'Samson'
2-4-0 'Newton'
2-4-0 'Precursor'
2-4-0 'Jumbo'
2-4-2t '4ft 6in Tank'

Freight Locomotives:
0-6-0 'Wolverton Goods'
0-6-0 'Cauliflower'
2-8-0 'F Class'
0-6-0st 'Special Tank'
0-6-2t 'Coal Tank'

Wagons:
LNWR branded Open wagon
LNWR branded flatbed wagon
Recoloured goods van
Tanker wagon (speed upgrade)

Stats:
--- Play with them for a bit, I need to do some long-term playtesting and re-balance the stats --

If you have feedback on nerfing or buffing an engine in either set, let me know.

Very useful set!

The bug report is relatively simple in comparison. Along with some minor emiter placement issues (on the Wolverton, specifically), the Wolverton's coupling rods are placed slightly too high, leading to them not being centered on the wheel. Both of these are minor things though.

Thank you very much for your attention and all of your amazing work. I look forward to your next release.

Using the formula for tractive effort required (I'm working on a guide that explains all of this in more detail) TE=20xTxS, where TE is tractive effort needed, T is the weight of the train in tons, and S is the maximum slope on the line, a 300 ton train on a 2% mainline needs about 12,000 lbf, and the best any of the freight engines can give is 11,915 lbf. Fortunately, most 10 car freight trains are slightly less than 300 tons, but it still cuts it uncomfortably close, and for steeper lines (4% in this instance) the needed TE is double, at 24,000 lbf, which limits the amount any of these engines can pull to a measly 5 cars, which seems to be quite close to the break even point. In short, a buff on the Wolverton Goods and some of the early 2-4-0s would be appreciated.

Little bit of feedback and a bug report:

The set is generally well balanced, but it quickly becomes hard to find sufficiently powerful freight locomotives (specifically finding enough tractive effort) for hilly branchlines, and even some of my mainlines. While I could put another locomotive on, this would substantially increase running costs, and it would also be unrealistic. I'm running 10 car freight trains on standard grades of 2% or less, with occasional branch line grades of 3 - 4%.

Thanks for your great early locos and wagons. Most useful.

Thank you ever so much. Keep up the amazing work!

Some do sneak through, emitters are hard to do and are my weakness. I keep updating these packs so just keep an eye out.

Hello there, love the mod, just wanted to let you know that the cauliflower's smoke emiter is slightly in front of the smoke stack. Beautiful models!

Will issue a soundset patch for both this and Phase 1 soon, still working on porting everything.

Looks beautiful, sounds beautiful! Cheers Steve!
