## About This Content
One of the Great Western Railway’s most iconic tank engines, the Class 14XX,
comes to Train Simulator complete with GWR autocoach.
Based on the ageing 517 Class, the first of the diminutive tank engines
entered service in 1932 as part of the 48XX Class and designed for running
autotrains when coupled to autocoaches on branch lines of the Great Western
region. Twenty locomotives – classified as Class 58XX – were also built
without fittings for autocoach running.
In the mid-1940s, the GWR experimented with oil burning locomotives, which saw
the 48XX Class reclassified as 14XX Class, a classification they carried until
the end of steam in Britain and their working life. The last 58XX Class
locomotive was withdrawn in 1959 with the 14XX Class withdrawn from service by
1965.
Numerous autocoach designs were tried by GWR, many of them being converted
from Steam Railmotors which were tried at the beginning of the 20th Century
but had proven to be too impractical. Autocoaches were designed to be operated
in conjunction with tank engines like the 14XX Class to provide push-pull
services on branch lines and where locomotive turning was not possible.
All four variants of the Class are included for Train Simulator, including the
GWR 48XX with autocoach fitted, GWR 58XX unfitted, BR 14XX with autocoach
fitted and BR 58XX unfitted. The locomotive includes an array of features,
including realistic cab with multiple views (including fully modelled firebox
and coal), fully modelled and animated valve gear, realistic wheel slip
physics, simulated steam chest, cylinder cock management, realistic injector
control, opening windows with rain effects and dynamic lamp setting.
Also included is a Diagram A31 autocoach in both GWR and BR liveries, which
can be used as a driving vehicle when attached to any consist.
The locomotive is also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive
the GWR Class 14XX on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train Simulator, such
as those available through Steam. Also included are scenarios specifically for
the Falmouth Branch route (available separately and required to play these
scenarios).
