About This Content The ‘teddy bear’ of diesel-hydraulic locomotives is now available for Train Simulator in its original British Rail Green livery.The single six-cylinder engine locomotives were built in the mid-1960s by BR’s Swindon Works, with the intention of working in shunting yards and short distance freight trains. Initially, 26 models were ordered in January 1963, expanded to 56 later that year. The mid-cab locomotives resembled the Clayton Type 1 (Class 17), but had a fixed wheel configuration – 0-6-0 – rather than bogies.The Class had an extremely short working life, not because of reliability but mainly because the duties for which they were originally intended starting to diminish. However, their usefulness as shunting engines and top speed of 40mph (64 km/h) saw many sold to private industries such as iron and coal companies.The disappearance of these industries saw many models move to preserved railways in the UK, with five being exported to Belgium and Spain. Unusually, D9504 was leased in 2005 from the Kent & East Sussex Railway to work on High Speed 1 around London, marshalling construction trains used during building of the route.The Class 14 for Train Simulator is a former Iron Horse House model, which has been updated to TS2014 standard, including new scenarios and improved exterior modelling. The locomotive is available in BR Green livery and includes 5 Plank wagons, 7 Plank wagons and BR Brake Vans.The locomotive is also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive the BR Class 14 on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train Simulator, such as those available through Steam. Also included are scenarios specifically for the West Somerset Railway route (available separately and required to play these scenarios).ScenariosFour scenarios for the West Somerset Railway route:Simple Controls Training: Class 14Expert Controls Training: Class 14A Light ServiceSmall Time FreightMore scenarios are available on Steam Workshop online and in-game.

NOTE: I was VERY pleasantly surprised to see it also comes in the BR blue instead of only the green! A real bonus! Definately recommended. And in the sale it's a bargain at $5.. A definite teddy bear, and one of my favorites!PROS: Sexy diesel sound, highly-detailed cab (including cab light), included wagons are handsome, easy to get used to, and fun to drive.CONS: Headlamps not bright enough, passenger seat clips into the side of the cab, weird couplers, blue British Rail livery not included.All things considered, the BR Class 14 is one of those pieces of Train Sim DLC that Train Sim DLC is supposed to be.. It's a great model that's a load of fun in quick drive mode. Well detailed and while I haven't seen an actual Class 14 in person (American, not a whole lot of them here in the states), it certainly looks like the youtube videos I've seen of them. The cab's well detailed, and the loco as a whole works on a not-extremely-beefy computer rig like my own, which some routes inexplicably don't do (lookin' at you, Maerdy). The cars included look good and it's always a pleasure to drive down the West Somerset again, I'll use any excuse. I am recommending this; as with everything TS2015, I'm recommending it on sale because 13 bucks is a lot to pay for anything that isn't a full fledged game these days. If you get it on sale it's like six bucks and that's much more reasonable. But. Before you buy, beware, there *are* a few flaws with this model.For starters, you can click the "passenger view" button to sit higher on the driver's seat, which makes the controls not operable outside of the lower controls console and makes your head clip through the ceiling. I have no idea what the point of this view is as it barely changes the view any, but just be aware.Also, the scenarios. I know some people don't like\/couldn't care less about scenarios so if you're one of them by all means pick this bad boy up. But. I enjoy playing the scenarios, so if you do too, be aware that even though it advertises four scenarios, two of those are driver training ones that are all of ten minutes long combined and you *probably* already know.The other two included scenarios are quite good and have achievements (that are quite rare, just fyi) tied to them, so that's fun. But. There are only two of them; not a huge number, so you could probably get a better value from another pack if that's your thing and you only care about getting driver experience or something.So. To sum it up: If you like the Class 14, you'll like this. If you like career scenarios, you might not like this. If you don't care about career scenarios and a minor camera glitch, you'll have fun with it.But. Assuming you're not a Fortune 500 CEO who's made three hundred bucks in the time it took you to read this, just pick it up when it's on sale. Thirteen's a lotta bucks on this steam of ours.
