Brief Origins

Sir William Stanier, had a vision for replacing many of the ageing non standard loco classes when he took office in 1932. One of these tasks was to produce a powerful, reliable freight locomotive with 8 coupled wheels and build them using more standardized parts using the skills he gained working at the GWR. The first 2-8-0 engine appeared in June 1935 of a batch of 6 numbered 8000 to 8005. From then on, in successive batched lots until the final one was built in June1946 NO 8772.
Not all were built by the LMS and not all were operated by the LMS many went abroad as War Department engines. You will find brief details for each loco that I number in its’ eng file.

This is a high poly count model produced using 3D canvas by Amabilis. 

It may be subject to low frame rates in congested scenarios and activities.
