About This Content A mainstay of BR’s locomotive fleet in the 1990s, the Class 90 was a replacement to BR’s ageing fleet of electric locomotives, and is now available for Train Simulator in two liveries that are ideal for the Great Eastern Main Line London-Ipswich route.In the days of British Rail, many high speed services across the UK rail network were operated by Class 90 electric locomotives, often in ‘push-pull’ formations with a Driving Van Trailer (DVT) and full consist of coaches. Following privatisation of the UK rail network, the fleet was transferred to private operators for both freight and passenger operations.A total of 50 Class 90s were built by BREL Works in Crewe between 1987 and 1990 and were designed for a top operating speed of 110mph (180 km/h), operating from 25 kV AC overhead power and producing 5,000 bhp (3,700 kW). The models were also fitted with a Time Division Multiplier (TDM) to operate push-pull trains with a DVT, enabling fast turnaround of passenger services and removing the need for the leading locomotive to ‘run round’ its coaching stock.After privatisation of BR in 1996, half of the Class 90 fleet were transferred to freight traffic, reclassified and modified to operate at a lower speed. The remainder of the fleet was transferred to private operators, including DB Schenker, Virgin Trains and Greater Anglia. The latter company now operates 15 Class 90s on services between London Liverpool Street, Ipswich and Norwich.The Class 90 for Train Simulator is available in two liveries, blue/white striped and grey/white. Features of the locomotive include advanced and HUD versions, accurate performance physics, prototypical braking system, cold start option, independent guard and driver wipers, LED headlights, a MK3 coach consist and driveable Class 82 Mk3 DVT.The locomotive is also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive the Greater Anglia Class 90 on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train Simulator, such as those available through Steam. Also included are scenarios specifically for the Great Eastern Main Line London-Ipswich route (available separately and required to play these scenarios).ScenariosFour scenarios for the Great Eastern Main Line London-Ipswich route:1P21 08:30 Norwich – London Liverpool Street1P32 13:30 London Liverpool Street - Norwich1P50 17:30 London Liverpool Street – NorwichMore scenarios are available on Steam Workshop online and in-game.

Its one of my favourites.. One of the most advanced locos in the game - well worth it as part of the UK collectionPros:+Tons of features and advances simulation+Sounds are (of course for AP) excellent+The horn :)+Decent scenarios, with more on the Workshop+Includes HUD and advanced versionCons:-Can steal a few FPS here and there-No passenger viewStruggling to think of much that's bad about this, well worth it in the UK collectio, along with the GEML and the PDL (and some other things), and an excellent addition to both teh GEML and the WCML. My advice- just buy it :). Chances are high that if you click a button, something will happen. Apart from the heater. Good sounds, pretty much good everything. AP delivers again!. Of all the stock I have in TS, the AP Class 90s\/DVTs (both their own full version and this pack) are by far my favourites to drive.It'll take a few goes to remember the start-up routine on the advanced models, but they are well worth the effort of learning. You'll become a lot more involved in the operation of the train, rather than just opening the throttle and occasionally waving the brake lever around. If that sounds too involved though, then remember that you get automatic speed control, to avoid constant overspeed penalties.Very much recommended by me.. The scenarios are terrible, and it doesen't work atall for me in Quick Drive, but the actual TRAIN is superb. You also get to drive fro the MK3, but the doors don't open when I collect passengers.overall, Very good route. Excellent quality DLC, probably because it is not made by RSC, DTG or whatever they are called this week.. The class 90 has since moving out from GEML realms, become quite the common or garden engine because of its versatility in everything from freight, mail and even sleeper trains.Based on the older class 86\/87's, it was a close run thing that this ended up with gradual controls rather than having the tap type controls of its parentage, complete with a very good speed set control, normal and advanced modes of startup, realistic DSD add to the flavour of driving this smooth engine and with additional freeware livery packs available out there makes this a very good loco for your collection.
