## About This Content
The feature packed Duchess set is a must have for anyone with a taste for the
romance of rail.
Conceived by the office of Sir William A. Stanier FRS, the Duchess is a
classic example of British engineering at its finest.
These magnificent machines were devised during the heated rivalry between LMS’
“Coronation Scot” and LNER’s “Flying Scotsman” which many remember as “the
race to the north” (London to Scotland).
Capable of delivering over 3000hp the “Big Lizzys” were a formidable match for
Gresley’s A4.
The first 10 locos of the class were built with a streamlined cladding
colloquially referred to as an “upside down bathtub”. Due to the added weight
and maintenance difficulties, the streamlining proved nonviable and it was
later removed revealing a locomotive of very handsome lines.
The remaining 28 locos were built without streamlining and the class became
commonly known as “Duchesses”. From 1945, smoke deflectors were fitted to help
with smoke obscuring the crew’s forward vision, giving them the distinctive
final appearance that became so popular with observers.
The LMS Duchess pack is a high quality representation of the locomotives in
LMS crimson and BR green liveries in unstreamlined guise. Scripted running
numbers and nameplates provide 36 members of the class for your enjoyment.
These painstakingly modeled locomotives make use of the latest sound, physics
and smoke systems. A custom cab interior and clever additional features such
as scripted couplers, hoses and configurable headcodes make these horses a
satisfying addition to your Trainz stable.
Such a stylish loco deserves a stylish consist and so providing the perfect
accompaniment, is a set of fully featured LMS Period III Stanier coaches
consisting of consisting of a Brake Third Corridor to Diagram 1905, a Third
Open to Diagram 1904, and a First Corridor to Diagram 1930.
With such attentionn to detail and so many great features, we’re sure you’ll
find the Duchess pack a truly immersive Trainz experience.
