This is an addon pack for Microsoft Train Simulator, Class 50: The Preservation Era. It includes all eighteen preserved British Rail Class 50 locomotives; in appropriate liveries from after the end of BR service to the present day (roughly speaking, the period 1994 to 2009). Unlike the free Class 50s you can download for Train Simulator, this pack features a totally realistic cab, genuine Class 50 sounds and physics (the models behave like 117 ton locomotives and won't "stop on a dime" if you brake hard!) This pack is also completely "plug and play" - just install from the CD and the 50s will be ready to thrash away in your train sim. That's the only setup and configuration required!
Rolling stock included:
- BR mark 1 coaches in maroon, green, carmine/cream and chocolate/cream liveries.
- BR mark 2 coaches in 1990s InterCity and Virgin Trains liveries.
- The Northern Belle set (crimson/cream mark 2 FOs and mark 3 coaches)
- Appropriate consists.
- A selection of activities for the default Settle and Carlisle route.
Sample locomotives included are:
- D402 in cosmetically unrefurbished BR Blue.
- 50008 in Sea Containers maroon.
- 50017 in lined LMS crimson.
- 50135 Ark Royal in LoadHaul livery.
- D444 Exeter in cosmetically unrefurbished two-tone BR green.
- 50149 Defiance in RailFreight grey.
