First off, a majority of the class were built with just a steam engine brake. Here you can also see the twin whistles and boiler gauge in the centre and near the roof on the fireman's side is a Raven Cab Signalling Repeater which shows the state of the next signal. Sadly TS doesn't support reading the next signal state if it is green but you can check the next red/yellow signal and the distance to it so the current plan is to show on the repeater if a signal in the next 500m is at danger or warning.
Some Class C's had Westinghouse brakes instead of steam brakes (and some had both) which is seen here. Also this engine has had steam heating fitted for keeping those passengers warm.
Now out of the NER era and into the LNER: the Raven repeater is gone, a vacuum brake has been added to go with the engine steam brake and a different regulator lever has been fitted (these don't appear to be era specific and were quite random based on what was available during major refits). Another significant change is that the injectors which were originally mounted on the sides of the boiler are now inside the cab, a change which is also reflected on the outside model (see previous blog post).
Finally a much later version. Another style of regulator lever has been fitted and the braking is now operated by a Dreadnought ejector. The twin whistles on the roof have been removed and replaced by a single LNER style whistle on top of the boiler in front of the cab sheet and a pull lever mounted on the roof.
All appropriate parts will be available for the relevant eras and will be selected using the scenario loco number - and of course we will be providing data to the Locomotive Number Generator to make it all as simple as possible to get exactly the set up that you want.
So that is all of the modelling completed. After unwrapping and texturing everything we'll be back soon with some in game pictures.
