If that's a WiP, I can't wait to see the finished article - we need some new Merchant Navy locos since the sad demise of BATS and this looks splendid.

Thanks for the comments. I've started adding the cylinders and con rods now. After that, and the animation, there's still a few smaller items to include - and I'd like to add a crew if I can too. The livery is a provisional first attempt and that needs more work. Once this first one is finished though, I hope to reskin alternative numbers into Southern malachite green and BR Brunswick Green.

It loads into the sim OK, but I'm still feeling my way - not sure if it's essential to use Polymaster and Shape Fixer? Can anyone advise on this please?

Nice model.

Shape fixer only needed if it goes over 11,000 polys or if there are errors in MSTS.

Thanks, Paul. The engine is just under 10000 polys at the moment so there's a chance it'll go over 11000. The tender is another 5000+.

Looks nice that, even if its a southern contraption.
