    The B17s (otherwise known as "Footballers") were notorious across East Anglia. In total 73 were built and the could reach a top speed of 100 MPH. None were preserved but there is a new build being constructed. BR Classified them as 5Ps in 1953

    BR Standard 7

    (Otherwise known as Britannias) these Pacifics were the first of the BR Standards, capable of any task given to them. 55 were built and could reach speeds up to 90-100 MPH. 2 remain.

    The B12s were common in East Anglia, considering they were built for it. The B12s are the only preserved 10 wheeler with inside valve gear. 1 is preserved and currently under going overhaul. 70 were built and capable of reaching 85-90 MPH. BR Classified them as 4Ps/3Fs


    The East Anglian
    The East Angian is an express that ran from London Liverpool Station to Norwich Thorpe Station, only stopping at Ipswich, this was a 115 mile journey. Later in life, Britannias were common on this Express. The express started in 1937.


    Additional Notez:
    I think that we could see an LNER B1 as DLC
    The GER L77 (LNER N7) could also appear as DLC.

    As already discussed to death, DTG are no longer actively developing steam.

    That's all we can do. I'm not against the idea, but it's extremely unlikely it'll happen.

    3rd parties have said they won't either until DTG fix the core issues.

    Unless it's a new game altogether by a developer not at all associated with DTG, no steam.
