TS19: A Patriot of the Rails

Step onto the footplate of Bossman Games’ authentically recreated LMS Rebuilt Patriot Class, which is available now on the Steam & Dovetail Games Stores!

The original Patriot Class was built by Sir Henry Fowler to bolster LMS express passenger duties in the early 1930s. Then, after years of service and a change of design management to Sir William Stanier, the decision was made to rebuild the Patriot locomotives to bring them in line with new locomotive designs.

A new cab, boiler, and tender were all in order, keeping the fleet state-of-the-art and reducing maintenance costs by ensuring commonality between all of Stanier’s premier designs. These Rebuilt Patriots would serve through into the British Railways era, but like all other steam locomotives, were soon retired in favour of diesel-guzzling traction.

While none of the Patriots were preserved, rebuilt or otherwise, you can still experience what they were like up close and personal, as Bossman Games’ exquisitely detailed LMS Rebuilt Patriot Class has chuffed into the Steam and Dovetail Games stores!
