## About This Content
The Type 4 Class 50 ‘Hoovers’ were an express passenger locomotive that worked
on much of the UK’s railway network, and is now available for Train Simulator.

Fifty of the Class were built in the late 1960s by English Electric at Vulcan
Foundry Works and were exclusively used on the then non-electrified West Coast
Main Line between Crewe, Carlisle and Scotland. Prior to TOPS classification,
the Type 4 locomotives had a top speed of 100mph, being re-classified to the
Class 50 and purchased from English Electric Leasing by British Rail in the
early 1970s.

After electrification of the WCML, the Class 50s were displaced and
transferred to the Western Region, working mainline passenger services from
London Paddington along the Great Western Main Line. However, the Class was
beset with reliability problems and BR made the decision to refurbish all 50
locomotives in the late 1970s. Whilst this temporarily resolved the
reliability issues, by the early 1990s, just eight locomotives remained in
service.

By 1994, the whole fleet had been withdrawn from service, but 18 were
preserved and can today be found mainly on the UK’s heritage railways with
many still certified for mainline running and used to head rail tours.

The Class 50 for Train Simulator, developed by Meshtools, is available in a
variety of BR and privatised liveries, including BR Blue (TOPS and Pre-TOPS),
Great Western Railway Green and BR Dual Green, Network South East Blue
(original and revised) and BR Large Logo. Features of the model include
independently operated screen wipers, four position reverser, two-tone horn,
opening cab windows, operating sun visors and configurable locomotive running
numbers and names.

The locomotive is also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive
the Class 50 on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train Simulator, such as
those available through Steam. Also included are scenarios specifically for
the Settle to Carlisle route (available separately and required to play these
scenarios).
