## About This Content
The flagship locomotive for the East Coast Main Line, the Class 91, speeds
into Train Simulator in its original InterCity Swallow livery, complete with
Mk4 coaches and Driving Van Trailer.
The Class 91 was built as a development of the Advanced Passenger Train (APT)
project, which was abandoned during the 1980s, and was introduced in 1988 with
the overhead electrification of the East Coast Main Line; the first Class 91
to work a passenger service was on 3 March 1989 with a rake of Mk3 coaches and
a converted Class 43 power car acting as a Driving Van Trailer (DVT).
The locomotive’s body shells were built of an all-steel construction, and
unusually were fitted with body mounted motors to reduce the unsprung mass and
hence track wear at high speeds. Much of the engineering was derived from
research and operational experience garnered during development of the APT.
Given the auxiliary name of _InterCity 225_ , a nod to their designed
operating speed of 225 km/h (140mph), the Class 91 exclusively works flagship
high speed passenger services on the East Coast Main Line between London
King’s Cross and Edinburgh Waverley, leading a rake of nine Mk4 passenger
coaches and a Mk4 DVT. Realistically, services only run at 125mph (201 km/h)
due to the track infrastructure, but occasionally do reach their designed top
speed to make up time.
The Class 91 for Train Simulator is available in InterCity Swallow livery as
carried between 1988 and 1996, and features two fully working driving cabs,
complete with DRA, AWS and vigilance device reset, and cruise control. The Mk4
DVT also includes a fully driveable cab, giving complete push-pull
capabilities to the train. A full rake of nine Mk4 coaches in accompanying
InterCity Swallow livery replicate the full _InterCity 225_ service, complete
with passenger view.
_Please note: the ‘blunt end’ cab of the Class 91 is accessible from the main
Class 91 cab by pressing the left and right arrow keys._
The locomotive is also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive
the InterCity Class 91 on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train Simulator,
such as those available through Steam. Also included are scenarios
specifically for the East Coast Main Line: London-Peterborough route
(available separately and required to play these scenarios).
