About This Content The flagship locomotive for the East Coast Main Line, the Class 91, speeds into Train Simulator in its original InterCity Swallow livery, complete with Mk4 coaches and Driving Van Trailer.The Class 91 was built as a development of the Advanced Passenger Train (APT) project, which was abandoned during the 1980s, and was introduced in 1988 with the overhead electrification of the East Coast Main Line; the first Class 91 to work a passenger service was on 3 March 1989 with a rake of Mk3 coaches and a converted Class 43 power car acting as a Driving Van Trailer (DVT).The locomotive’s body shells were built of an all-steel construction, and unusually were fitted with body mounted motors to reduce the unsprung mass and hence track wear at high speeds. Much of the engineering was derived from research and operational experience garnered during development of the APT.Given the auxiliary name of InterCity 225, a nod to their designed operating speed of 225 km/h (140mph), the Class 91 exclusively works flagship high speed passenger services on the East Coast Main Line between London King’s Cross and Edinburgh Waverley, leading a rake of nine Mk4 passenger coaches and a Mk4 DVT. Realistically, services only run at 125mph (201 km/h) due to the track infrastructure, but occasionally do reach their designed top speed to make up time.The Class 91 for Train Simulator is available in InterCity Swallow livery as carried between 1988 and 1996, and features two fully working driving cabs, complete with DRA, AWS and vigilance device reset, and cruise control. The Mk4 DVT also includes a fully driveable cab, giving complete push-pull capabilities to the train. A full rake of nine Mk4 coaches in accompanying InterCity Swallow livery replicate the full InterCity 225 service, complete with passenger view.Please note: the ‘blunt end’ cab of the Class 91 is accessible from the main Class 91 cab by pressing the left and right arrow keys.The locomotive is also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive the InterCity Class 91 on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train Simulator, such as those available through Steam. Also included are scenarios specifically for the East Coast Main Line: London-Peterborough route (available separately and required to play these scenarios).ScenariosThree scenarios for the East Coast Main Line: London-Peterborough route:Simple and Expert Controls Tutorial: Class 91On Time AlterationTroublesome Trip to StevenageMore scenarios are available on Steam Workshop online and in-game.

It's also pretty ugly and I don't understand why they still use the old thing, but I'm probably not supposed to say that, as it's a "classic".To really travel in style, you'll need something better than the HST. Something that accelerates fast enough to actually reach that 125 mph line speed before it's gone. Something that does not rely on dirty diesel fuel, but runs on clean electricity generated in not-so-clean power plants. Something that can maintain line speed even when going uphill. This is my favourite British high speed train. Mainly because it just looks a lot better than the "classic" HST.Make sure you stay in cab, as you need to confirm an audible alarm evert 30 secs or so (Press Q), and you can't hear it when not in cab.. Overall the Class 91 add-on looks and sounds good. It's a pity they weren't able to do one of the more up-to-date liveries so it could run along side the Class 365 that comes with the Kings Cross to Peterborough route. The driver vigilance system is a nice inclusion in terms of realism and it helps add to the challenge of scenarios or routes that require concentration, but it would be nice if there were a way to disable it for quick drive. The cab interior looks the part and has a cab light, instrument lights and even a light for the clipboard, but a problem I have encountered with the cab is that when it is raining and you are postioned in the driver seat you cannot see oncoming signal through the window die to the rain water. A simple way round this is simply to use the alternate view from the opposite side of the cab but this slightly detracts from the immersion of being the driver. The Class 91 has a cab at either end with one being the 'blunt end' which is usually facing the coaching stock but this add-on allows you to operate that cab which allows for much fun when making scenarios or playing on free-roam.. I really like this add-on, the scenarios are realistic and good. The sounds aregood along the coaches and DVT the 91 loco its self is allright but could have one or two volume changes in the horn and other bits. I do suggest this for anyone who owns the ECML London to peterbrough route I also suggest getting the class 365 NSE with it to add realism to quick drive.There is a small bug in the reverser where it only goes to 13%. Overall a 7\/10 does need more AI and better soundson the 91 loco.. The DVD is so annoying, but with a Third Party Reskin, this is the real deal, and completes the missing gap of the ECMLS. We still need the Class 317 though, then this is a complete route. (Correct me if I am wrong.). This train is very cool it goes very fast but its a shame that it donst come with an east coast livery.. Very realistic, all the sounds are tip-top from the Horns to the air discharges and the motor sound of the 91 itself!. Its a very nice loco, one of my favorites both in game and real life.Well modeled with a good interior, however it's the refurbished cab and carriage view despite the loco being in IC livery, doesn't bother me that much though, and if you want it to fit in there's always re-skins available online.It would be better if you could disable the DSD, as its pretty annoying to watch your train in freecam only to have it emergency brake because you couldn't hear the alarm.Also there's a blind spot in the 91's window where the windscreen wiper doesn't reach, so its impossible to see signals from the driver's perspective if its raining, however this doesn't affect the DVT, so just fly south in the rain where possible xDVery nice addition to ECML line. lazily made
