About This Content The Virgin Trains First Generation Pack brings classic cross-border action and ‘dash of red’ operations aboard famed traction. Relive the early days of privatisation in this officially licensed pack for Train Simulator!The fleet of BR Class 47s operated by Virgin CrossCountry were already a popular locomotive that helped usher in a new era of British Railway travel.The Virgin Class 47 fleet was quite different in its ability to go for miles upon miles without filling up. Long-distance routes have always required a lot of fuel, and in the steam days, that meant big tenders for coal and water troughs placed between rails for an added quench.Diesel locomotives alleviated this issue by having suitably sized tanks laden with diesel to power the engines, and subsequently the electric traction motors. However, even the longest expresses needed extra range, and so a fleet of passenger-hauling Class 47/4s were retrofitted with extra tanks to extend their reach.Used for InterCity Cross-Country services, the extended-range Class 47/4s were renumbered to the 47/8 subclass for easy identification, albeit still officially 47/4s. It was these locomotives which were inherited in operation by Virgin Trains, who won the CrossCountry franchise. Before long, the 47s would soon be given a fresh coat of paint, sporting the now defunct, classic Virgin Trains Black & Red livery.Another form of traction which was utilised on the Cross-Country routes, by both InterCity and later Virgin, was the iconic High Speed Train.After being introduced on the Great Western and East Coast Main Lines with operational success, being the first timetabled 125mph services in the country, the Class 43 ‘HST’ fleet also proved popular on long-distance routes, and dedicated sets worked across the length of England and Scotland. These HST sets were also soon operated by Virgin CrossCountry, who replaced the famed InterCity ‘Swallow’ and ‘Executive’ liveries with their own Black & Red guise. The Virgin 125s would become known as ‘The Red Arrows’.The Class 47, and High Speed Train, would work for both the CrossCountry and West Coast divisions of Virgin Trains throughout their lifetime in red, making them perfect traction for a multitude of routes within Train Simulator.Included ScenariosThe Virgin Trains First Generation Pack includes three challenging career scenarios for the West Coast Main Line North Route Add-On (available separately):The Maiden VirginThe Virgin HeritageThe Virgin KnightPlease Note: The West Coast Main Line Route Add-On is required, as a separate purchase, in order to play the scenarios featured in this add-on.More scenarios are available on Steam Workshop online and in-game.

The cab remodel is fab enjoy that very much but the only annoying thing is the windscreen wiper that keeps going faster and slower with acceleration and braking, could you revert it back to a normal operation as this does not happen on real locos. The coaching stock is great and in future can we have the same in the old blue and excecutive liveries to compliment some of the loco addons ive purchased in past. very best wishes.. HI few things wrong on my 47 you have to have the sanders on all the time if you turn them off you lose your brake pipe and the brakes fullly come on turn the sanders back on you get your brake pipe back at 72.5 brakes come off that is not right and the AWS is very quiet some times you miss it. come on lets get it right over all ok.. Really this is a Virgin Trains Class 47 with a HST as a playable bonus.The class 47 is posswibly the best 47 in TS (certainly the best one I've played with). The cab is excellent, the sounds are rather nice. It drives like a 47 should. I love the fact you can operate the wipers manually. I'll be perfectly honest, the 47 seems to bear no resemblance to the original 47 or shap 47, apart from.. it's a Class 47.The HST as far as I can tell is the same as the HST in the Class 159 pack just in a different livery.The coaches are really nice as well and in all, this pack is definitely worth \u00a312. Just one thing, DTG: There sould be more scenarios for the Class 47..

Class 47 hauled virgin carriages on a Strathclyde local, a virgin HST on a circular service via Motherwell. Does whoever writes the scenarios have any idea about real world train operations?
