What If She Survived? New Lickey Banker Act

Here's some early screenshots of my W.I.P Activity, detailing the survival and preservation of the Lickey Banker (for this act, on the WSR).

I think she looks grand as a passenger engine, especially for branchline work. (eg, the cab/tender arrangement looks ok to run both ways). With some work to the cylinder arrangements, and possibly leading/trailing wheels, she could have beena half decent heavy frieght locomotive, or low speed, heavy summer train duties?

Thanks to decapod for creating this astonishing model of an anstonishing locomotive.

Don't hate me for making her pull passenger trains in my fictional land of preservation :D

Cheers,

Hi There

West Somerset would have been a great place for her to finish her days.

But sadly not to be

The cutters did not waste much time cutting her up at Derby after she was withdrawn.

Your screenshots are very good indeed

Nice shots! Im also interested in the MK1s. Are they part of the WSR addon? as i thought it only had choc/cream versions included.

Hmm, thats strange, these coaches did indeed come fro the WSR pack, even though they dont appear to be mentioned? There are defo chocolate and cream versions, as well as the QB set.
