Hawthorn Leslie 0-4-0 saddletanks bring authentic locomotive operation to your simulation sessions. These models hail from a historic Tyneside firm known for building engines for main line, light, and industrial railways, including exports. One black version suits colliery work, while the gold one fits small branch lines or docks. Both feature cabs with backs, advanced steam physics controls, and detailed interiors inside and out.
Fire up these saddletanks in detailed simulation environments to master steam locomotive handling. Operators engage precise physics for realistic performance across industrial and branch line routes. Enthusiasts of historical rail simulation find precise models and controls that reward dedicated engine management.
*NOTE* This pack is available in the in-game store under the Marketplace tab. You are strongly recommended to find the product there and make your purchase from within the game.
R. & W. Hawthorn Leslie and Company, Limited, usually referred to as Hawthorn Leslie, was a shipbuilding and locomotive manufacturer. The company was founded on Tyneside in 1886 and ceased building ships in 1982. The Company was formed by the merger of the shipbuilder A. Leslie and Company in Hebburn with the locomotive works of R. and W. Hawthorn at St.Peter's in Newcastle upon Tyne in 1886.
After the merger the locomotive side continued manufacturing for main line, light and industrial railways, including a large number built for export, usually to the designs of the Crown Agents.
Along with a number of other designs, the Hawthorn Leslie 0-4-0 saddletanks were popular locomotives.
This pack presents two models that have cabs that include a back, one in black that might have been seen around collieries, and the other in gold and might have been seen on small branch lines or docks. Both locomotives have advanced steam physics controls and detailed interiors both internally and externally.
