About This Content The London and North Eastern Railway’s mixed traffic Thompson B1 Class locomotive is now available for Train Simulator, and includes scenarios specially created for the popular Woodhead Line.Designed by Edward Thompson, chief mechanical engineer for the LNER, the prototype for the new 4-6-0 ‘B Class’ (later classified as ‘B1 Class’) was the first two-cylinder main line locomotive built by the LNER. The B1 was designed for medium mixed traffic use but also had the requirement of being cheap to produce due to wartime and post-war economies. The B1s operated across the LNER network and more than 400 were built between 1942 and 1952. However, with the change in British Railways policies the Class was withdrawn in the 1960s, long before the end of its expected economic working life.The Thompson B1 for Train Simulator is available in British Railway black livery with lion-and-wheel emblem. In game features include fully detailed and operational locomotive cab interior, spectacular Pennines scenery and the famous Woodhead Tunnel system.The Woodhead Line Expansion Pack (available separately) is required to play the scenarios included with this add-on.ScenariosFive scenarios for the Woodhead Line (also available on Steam).An Introduction to the Thompson B1Christmas Relief SpecialHello CampersMarylebone ExpressSteam Freight RevivalKey FeaturesThompson B1 steam locomotive in British Railways black livery with lion-and-wheel emblemRealistic cab interior with working gauges and firebox doorsBR (Crimson) Mk1 coachesQuick Drive compatible 7aa9394dea Title: Train Simulator: Thompson Class B1 Loco Add-OnGenre: SimulationDeveloper:Dovetail GamesPublisher:Dovetail Games - TrainsFranchise:Train SimulatorRelease Date: 8 Nov, 2012 Train Simulator: Thompson Class B1 Loco Add-On Hacked One of the best locomotives available for TS that I own. Great sounds, powerful and nicely detailed.. Its an amazing addon but should have some more liverys and preserved engines.. A very good and well detailed British engine. Absolutly loved driving it around the Woodhead line. It does have some complexity to drive, as some of the steeps in Woodhead are hard to climb (over 10 miles long, it becomes quite challenging, to the point I wasn't able, for some reason, to complete one of the career scenarios on time).Comes with 5 standart scenarios, and 4 of them come back as career scenarios.. Excellent classic!I used it on the SDJR and works great. A must have with the Robinson O4 and you have a great duo.. This Loco I amazing, sure this was made in TS2012-era but still always stands out, despite no special driver features and an advanced mode like most steamers nowadays (excluding the varied whistles).This is an EXTREMELY good engine. This will be perfect on any post-1948 steam era LNER route. 9\/10. It's a nice loco, not really a must have and it has nothing special. The manual is of poor quality, no driving instructions, no maximum speed specified.
