The Train Simulator Classic Train Simulator: BR Class 50 Loco Add-On adds the BR Class 50 locomotive to Train Simulator. Fifty of these Type 4 express passenger locomotives were built by English Electric at Vulcan Foundry Works in the late 1960s. They first worked on the non-electrified West Coast Main Line between Crewe, Carlisle and Scotland, then moved to the Western Region after the WCML was electrified, operating passenger services from London Paddington along the Great Western Main Line.

The Class 50

Before TOPS classification, the locomotives had a top speed of 100 mph. British Rail bought them from English Electric Leasing in the early 1970s and refurbished all 50 in the late 1970s to address reliability problems. By the early 1990s, only eight remained in service. The fleet was withdrawn by 1994; 18 locomotives were preserved, mainly on UK heritage railways, and many remain certified for mainline running and head rail tours.

Locomotive features

The locomotive comes in BR Blue (TOPS and Pre-TOPS), Great Western Railway Green, BR Dual Green, Network South East Blue (original and revised), and BR Large Logo liveries. Its features include independently operated screen wipers, a four-position reverser, a two-tone horn, opening cab windows, operating sun visors, and configurable running numbers and names. It is compatible with Quick Drive, allowing you to drive it on any Quick Drive-enabled Train Simulator route.
