About This Content The mid-sized Class 27 diesel locomotive is now here for Train Simulator in British Rail Green livery.Built for British Rail between 1961 and 1962 by the Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon Company, the 69 models in the Class initially saw use around London and in Scotland. Later in their life, the majority of the Class were permanently located in Scotland to replace ageing DMUs and the older Class 17s.With a top speed of 90mph (145 km/h), a number of Class 27s were converted to operated push-pull services between Edinburgh and Glasgow, although they were also used for freight services as well.The intensive, high speed running of push-pull services saw reliability begin to suffer, and the Class began to be phased out of revenue generating services from 1980 onwards. The last example was withdrawn from service in 1987, although eight Class 27s have been preserved on various heritage railways in the UK.The Class 27 for Train Simulator is available in British Railways green livery and is a former Iron Horse House model, which has been updated to Train Simulator standard, including new scenarios and improved exterior modelling. Features include engine on/off buttons, AWS sunflower and reset, instrument and cab lighting, and BR Mk1 coaches in maroon livery.The locomotive is also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive the BR Class 27 on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train Simulator, such as those available through Steam. Also included are scenarios specifically for the Western Lines of Scotland route (available separately and required to play these scenarios).ScenariosFour scenarios for the Western Lines of Scotland route:Training: Class 27 Simple ControlsTraining: Class 27 Expert ControlsCarlisle ConnectionGreen DaysMore scenarios are available on Steam Workshop online and in-game.

The model itself is very nice and the textures are all very realistic, in particular the interior.My only quibble is the sounds of the loco, more like an old car than a powerful Sulzer diesel in my opinion, other than that it is well worth it!. Probably the least buggy DLC in the whole game!. dis\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665good. A very nice loco but the sounds are horiffic! I work around locos at Epping and Ongar railway and before our 25 went for body repairs, it sounded about 1,000,000 times better than this. This train's sounds are so horiffic. I just hope Armstrong Powerhouse make a sound pack for it.. it isnt a class 27 it doesnt sound like one behave like one or spluuter likw one. Update: This has become one of my favorite locos. Especially with free reskins of the original green color, yellow and steel, it's simply a wonderful, noisy loco. Get it. You'll be happy you did.Another nicely done loco, with 'weathered' look inside and out (if in somewhat low-res compared to newer models). The complaints about sounds must be from the purists as the engine is not far off any videos I have seen of the train, but yes, they are a bit flat. But, they are NO reason to skip buying this engine (especially in today's sale). It looks great, and is a must to complete the UK Diesels, along with its comfy red carriages in tow (which seem to have mice quiet interiors for a change). Recommended.. This is an excellent addition to all those early era Diesels, with their iconic sound.. The 3D model and physics aren't too bad, but totally ruined by the awful sound effects. Doesn't sound like a Sulzer Type 2 diesel at all (or any other diesel for that matter). Sounds like the effects were created by placing a piece of cardboard between bicycle wheel spokes.If DTG are continuing to re-release the former IHH kit, the least they can do is enlist Armstrong Powerhouse to overhaul the appalling sounds which sadly afflicted most of that range.
