Train Simulator: BR Class 27 Loco Add-On adds the Class 27 diesel locomotive in British Rail Green livery to Train Simulator. Built by the Birmingham Railway Carriage and Wagon Company for British Rail between 1961 and 1962, the 69 locomotives initially worked around London and in Scotland. Most were later based permanently in Scotland, replacing ageing DMUs and Class 17s.

With a top speed of 90 mph (145 km/h), some Class 27s were converted for push-pull services between Edinburgh and Glasgow, while others also hauled freight. Intensive, high-speed push-pull work affected their reliability, and the class began leaving revenue service from 1980. The last locomotive was withdrawn in 1987; eight have been preserved on heritage railways in the UK.

The locomotive

This updated version of the former Iron Horse House model has revised exterior modelling and Train Simulator-standard features, including engine on/off buttons, an AWS sunflower and reset, and instrument and cab lighting. The add-on also includes BR Mk1 coaches in maroon livery.
