    We have the Jubilees and the 8f so The Black Five would be good to have an engine to take anywhere hauling passenger trains and freight trains even separate packs the steam era versions and the preserved Dual braked versions for railtours all over the UK Routes

    I mentioned the Black Five in my coaching stock suggestion, whole heartedly agree. Not only one of the most widespread, versatile and iconic locomotives in British history, but also adding it would complete Stanier's holy trinity of LMS type 3 boilers, with the Jubilee featuring the LMS 3A, the Black Five the 3B, and the 8f the 3C. There was also one more, the 3D which was fitted to the Stanier Moguls, effectively Black Fives but with only one leading axle. But the first three are by far the most well known.

    Whilst the Black 5s would be a wonderful locomotive to have in game, they are basically identical to the Jubilees

    This thread is about the UK Black Five…

    A good suggestion (Black 5 or the BR Standard equivalent) but with the quite hopeless steam implementation in TSW currently, that needs a thorough buff and overhaul before adding anything else.
