    Is the Maroon/Red version of the 41241 in the game. I have the SSS Ivatt pack but cannot find it.

    This weekend the locomotive features in the KWVR steam gala and would look good in TS2022.

    If anyone knows how to find this loco, I would really appreciate some guidance as to find it please.

    I doubt it is in the game as it is not an historically correct livery. In pre BR days the LMSR painted its express passenger locos in Maroon but all others including the Ivatt 2 were black. In BR days the Ivatt 2 was lined black never anything else. KWVR are free to paint as they will and do, ever since the 1970 Railway Children film the “taboo” on non authentic liveries has gone.

    Thank you for your interesting response. Hopefully one day it is added to TS. I have contacted Steam Sounds Supreme, but as normal l may never receive a response.

    I have a vague recollection of SSS some time ago stating that they planned, or at least contemplated, adding a red Ivatt, either as an update to their existent pack or a separate payware add-on dependent on the Ivatt pack. But don't take it as Gospel! I might be misremembering, and for sure have noticed no further mention of it.

    ADDENDUM:
    Oho! This is, I think, where I might have gotten my notion that SSS was going to produce a red Ivatt 2MT:

    I believe that SSS are not full time developers and are a team effort. It may be that the person involved with the Ivatt is not available for the present. I suggest you remind them in about a week or so.

    As the loco is not show on the homepage nor mentioned in the manual I doubt that it is supposed to be in the pack.

    It is not. The query was raised because of the possibility that it was being considered ( as I understand).

    Steam Sounds Supreme are issuing an update sometime tomorrow and will email those who purchased the pack at the time the update is available. I hope the Maroon 41241 will be in the update. What a lovely Easter present that would be. Matt at SSS has informed me a month ago. that it will be released at some point in the near future if not tomorrow

    I have contacted Steam Sounds Supreme many times, virtually every two months, but Matt has declined to respond on every occasion, so l must assume that this project has been cancelled.

    l am disappointed after purchasing quite a bit from SSS, that Matt cannot be bothered to answer my query, not the type of customer service l would have expected.
