Hi all,
One thing I have noticed is that we have no B12 steam loco. Is anyone out there planning on creating a B12 loco for MSTS or is making one just now?

That would be helpful for anyone. We need a B12, preferabley the same loco as the one that runs at the North Norfolk Railway ( Poppy Line ) as it is the only inside cylinder tender loco in Britian

Jonathan,
Not so, LMS Clog 0-6-0, SR Q1 0-6-0, l think there will be many more than you realise once you dig around.
Best regards

So is there anybody out there willing to make the B12?

I think you'll find its the only inside cylinder 4-6-0 in britain

Possibly, but he didnt say that
, concerning the inside cylinder 4-6-0 there are others, LNWR springs to mind, Princes, Experiment and Whale classes were all inside cylinder 4-6-0's, l'm sure there are many others on other regions.
If were talking survivng members then thats a different story and l'm sure the B12 is the only surviving one but l am sure there must be one other pre grouping loco of the same type, my memory is dim but something Scottish sticks in there somewhere.
Best regards

Yep, Michael, I mean't the only surviving one
No chance you'd fancy making it?

As I think the NNR also have the ex-GER J15 - and that had inside cylinders last time I looked, Jonathan's statement is looking a little broad; though it may prove to be the only preserved inside 4-6-0 (isn't the HR Jones Goods at York or somewhere?) , it's not an argument we need to have here...
But...
A while ago both Eddie Farms (eddief) and Jur Snijder (fadedGlory) were both talking over the possiblity of building the B12, time and information permitting.

Argue, pish young man we merely jest in good faith LOL.
David,
l would love to tackle one but not right now, my project book is full and my spare time eroding fast.
Kindest regards

Barry,
The Jones Goods has outside cylinders, like so:
Michael,
Shame, but I am looking forward to most, if not all, of your current projects

B12 is on my list, but my list is long and time is short!

Snap. I have the drawings for the original GER B12 but not the Gresley rebuilds so I could tackle it in simillar fashion to the Claughtons (do 1 version then update to match the rebuilt) if I build it, not going to say if anmd when I'll build it as FG could be in a position to build it first
. Sure it'll be worth the wait from either of us.
