Coming soon to Steam Sounds Supreme is this lovely tank engine by James Horrex of the Rustic Engineman's Loco & Carriage Workshop.
The LBSCR E2 was designed by Lawson Billinton. 10 were built between 1913 and 1916. They lasted in service until 1963, when the last example was scrapped. Due to limited coal capacity, the main duties carried out by these locomotives were short distance freight and shunting around London and the South Coast. In the 1950's, they found a new lease of life in Southampton Docks, with six examples being used. They were replaced by diesel traction between 1961 and 1963.
For many, the outlines of this distinctive loco have a familiar look. That is because the E2 was the inspiration for look of Thomas the Tank Engine. The E2 lives on in spirit! Sadly, none of the 10 built were preserved.
The pack will contain all appropriate liveries, scripted features, as well as sounds by Steam Sounds Supreme Look out for detailed news of pack features over the coming weeks.

Matt
