WD "Austerity" 2-8-0: In Game, Part 5 (Dutch and Preserved)

Today we look at the final 2 liveries in the WD "Austerity" 2-8-0 add-on, the Dutch NS 4300 and the only preserved engine, No. 90733.





Rather than the BR style internal windows the Dutch fitted the WD's with sliding windows on the outside.


Other options included are the raised style of chimney, a cover for the clack valves and boiler access ladders (these can be selected as left, right or both sides).


Also these rather stylish lamps.


Finally some of the NS 4300's were fitted with huge deflectors and these are an optional component you can add using the engine number as well.


Our final livery is engine No. 90733, the only remaining locomotive of the 935 built. Originally built at Vulcan Foundry works and numbered 5200 it was repatriated from its post war location in Sweden and went to the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway for a complete overhaul and a return to its original state, running for the first time in 2007.





Next week we willl be showing you the included rolling stock.. and we have something big planned. Something VERY big!

  1. Very nice, i can't wait for this pack. I wonder if the something "VERY" big is the 2-10-0 versions or something else entirely. Also would there be an option to toggle the name for 90733 / Preserved version? As it once had one saying "Remembrance Least We Forget" https://worthnews.files.wordpress.com/2014/04/90733-2014-1940s2-wc.jpg

    1. We will be adding the optional Remembrance plate and flags before release, we only found out about it recently.
      The 2-10-0 is planned as a separate add-on at a later time.

    1. Only Steam Sounds Supreme.
      We may look to release via Dovetail/Steam at a later date but the pack content will be much less.

    2. I wonder if some thing big could be either a LMS|BR Garrett or LNER|BR Garrett of even Big Bertha
