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.

The Class 91 is a missing piece from the East Coast Main Line and with it's intercity livery, it looks like brand new out of the factory. The Class 91 unit is really powerful and the train accelarate at a good pace. The Mk4 carriages are really nice but a inproved passenger view is prefered as it's facing the cafe. One thing puts me off, the DSD (Driver Safety Device) always goes off every 90 seconds or so. If there was a feature to disable the DSD.The Class 91 has a lot of free reskins that are made by third party, like the Claus91, Virgin East Coast, East Coast, Flying Scotsman, GNER and bunch more. Pro - Lots of reskins - Detailed Cab- High SpeedCons- DSD (would be great if there was a disable feature). 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.). It's a pity there's no "inbetween" option on the recommend portion but overall I'm going to go with "No". While the modelling is very well done both exterior and interior and some reskins out there can make it look even better than the Intercity livery does it suffers from some downsides which include: -AWS Sunflower Indicator not working (flashes on then off once running under cautionary aspects), -No option to disable DVD - making trying to get outside shots a paranoia filled experience and it doesn't help that it's not simulated too well (Time before setting off should be extended when any controls are touched. Also couldn't you give its own key like AP do? Like the E key or something or a NUM key? Because the AWS button isn't how it's reset in real life...)- Crash...to....Desktop. (In other words: Unstability) Trying to place the consists in the Scenario Editor whatever route it is, even on a high end PC is going to crash it to desktop with the good ol' Dump Error this game is infamous for. In fact this reason alone is the very reason I'm writing this review because it's so frustrating and demotivating no doubt for Scenario Creators out there. I don't even know why placing it down is causing it to crash. Also it's a problem when Matt Peddlesden (one of DTG's workers) actually experienced this crash problem when trying to use it in a tutorial.Slightly off topic but all the same: I'd prompt DTG to update the product but it's been out for 2 years now and these problems are still there. They don't seem to be a company that listen to their customers for the most part, I still play the game cause there is good content out there (even if some of it is 3rd party...) and I still remain a train nut. But hey ho I guess we customers will have to continue to go through the poor optimisation (looking at you, GEML) and low framerates on a game that shouldn't experience so. Euro Truck Sim 2 runs perfect on my quite high end PC and never crashes yet this game with graphics in areas that hasn't changed since the original Rail Simulator back in 2006 and can look unimpressive at times has caused tons of dump errors that messes up your gameplay. Ehh, either way I'm typing too much for a review I highly doubt this company with tons of dosh will listen to and continue to re-hash their base game annualy. To finish off, just watch what you spend on DLC.. The model is quite nice. It looks detailed enough and is correct for the time period (pre-refurbishment). I think it is a shame it only comes in intercity livery, since all other stock is set in a different time period, but DTG has explained that this is due to licensing issues. The cab looks great (although it is the refurbished cab, which doesn't fit the intercity livery and unrefurbished exterior) and it is really nice that they managed to incorporate the blunt end cab. The position of the camera in cab and the windscreen wiper make it really difficult to see signals and read speed signs when it is raining. There is a passenger view, but the passenger compartment is, like the cab, the refurbished version.The feature list is quite complete. The more or less standerd features like DRA, DVD and speed set are included as well as some more uncommon features like ETS controls. Seems quite promising, but sadly DTG have seem to forgotten how to implement most features. The speed set doesn't actually get the unit up to the set speed and for some reason it resets to 0 every time you use the brakes. DVD reset and AWS acknowledge are mapped to the same button, which is a shame. The AWS sunflower is bugged. When the AWS alarms is acknowledged, the sunflower comes on only to turn off again a split second later. There are seperate controls for cab-, instrument- and clip board lights, but there are no seperate headlight settings for day and night running. I was pleasantly surprised with the sounds when I first put the reverser into the forward position. I immediately recognized the very distinct class 91 roar. However as soon as I set off that surprise turned into disappointment. There are no motor sounds an no bogie run sounds. Lack of these sounds removes any sense of speed and completely ruins immersion for me. After a while I noticed that the fan sounds I initially thought were excellent are actually bugged. You can hear two sets of fans coming on, but one fan sound only loops once.In conclusion I think the class 91 is a huge disappointment. I can't recommend it at full price and I only see use for it as AI and not as player consist.. this is good, sounds nice, very detailed!. 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. GET THE WWW.ARMSTRONGPOWERHOUSE.COM ENHANCEMENT PACK FOR THIS. Only then will you enjoy this.The Steam version: Crap sounds - silent coaches as you drive past, loud cooling fans.A super annoying DSD, which you can't hear outside and willemergency stop without warning if you are in exterior view.1 livery.AP fixes DSD, adds super realistic sounds and adds several new liveries (GNER, Virgin East Coast, NXEC, even re-vamped the InterCity livery etc.) GET THIS IF YOU WANT A PLAYABLE, FUN 91.. This train is very cool it goes very fast but its a shame that it donst come with an east coast livery.
