Sounds good Ben.

Picked up the Merchant Navy and the Mogul.
Thanks all at BMG

I picked up the Merchant Navy and Eric Treacy, the only BMG Black5 I did not have yet. I one word, Stunning Ben and staff did it again, the MN detailing inside and out is incredible. I have never seen a steam cab like this one. And like all BMG locos, the handling is surprisingly easy for such a complex and realistic simulation. Well done BMG, very happy , and Happy Halloween, folks!!

What’s the mogul like, as I’m tempted...
(but don’t have the met route)

Is it sufficiently different to the Black 5??

I guess I’d probably use it on Stainmore (prototypical or not)... also making some steam “era” scenarios for Welsh Marches (again, ignoring / taking a squint at the modern infrastructure)

Regarding the areas that the Stanier Mogul was active. At the creation of BR (1948), they were allocated as follows
42945 6B Mold Junction
42946 8C Speke Junction
42947 5B Crewe South
42948 7B Bangor
42949 2B Bletchley
42950 5B Crewe South
42951 7B Bangor
42952 5B Crewe South
42953 6C Birkenhead Mollington Street
42954 7A Llandudno Junction
42955 5B Crewe South
42956 5B Crewe South
42957 2B Bletchley
42958 2D Nuneaton
42959 2D Nuneaton
42960 5B Crewe South
42961 5B Crewe South
42962 5B Crewe South
42963 3D Aston
42964 2D Nuneaton
42965 6B Mold Junction
42966 3D Aston
42967 6C Birkenhead Mollington Street
42968 5B Crewe South
42969 6C Birkenhead Mollington Street
42970 6C Birkenhead Mollington Street
42971 7ALlandudno Junction
42972 8C Speke Junction
42973 2D Nuneaton
42974 8C Speke Junction
42975 6B Mold Junction
42976 6B Mold Junction
42977 5B Crewe South
42978 8C Speke Junction
42979 6B Mold Junction
42980 5B Crewe South
42981 2D Nuneaton
42982 5B Crewe South
42983 5B Crewe South
42984 7B Bangor

So mostly Midlands and North Wales.

Notwithstanding that, they were often seen in the North (I saw most of them going through Preston), so may have made the Stainmore on the odd occasion.

PS So could be used on "Steaming over Shap", and the route being worked on "Steaming through North Wales with the LMS"
