## About This Content
As part of British Rail’s popular Sprinter family of diesel multiple units,
Class 159s were a popular sight on south west services from the UK’s capital
to the west of England, and is now available for Train Simulator.

Built between 1989 and 1992 as Class 158 units, the Class 159 units were
converted in the early 1990s to meet a demand on south west services to
replace ageing Class 50 loco-hauled services. The Class 50 trains were not
suited to the short distances between stops and suffered reliability issues.

In all, 22 units were converted into Class 159 units, incorporating
modifications such as the addition of a First Class passenger section and cab
modifications. The most notable improvement was a more powerful 400hp diesel
engine that allowed the units to tackle some of the more challenging gradients
with ease.

Class 159 DMUs are formed of a leading Driving Motor Composite vehicle,
incorporating the first class section, a Motor Second trailer vehicle and a
reversed Driving Motor Second vehicle. These three-car sets were often coupled
in units of six vehicles, allowing them to carry some 424 passengers.

The BR Class 159 for Train Simulator is available in late Network SouthEast
livery and reproduces the three-car DMU as it operated for Network SouthEast
following inception in 1993 and before refurbishment in 2000. Also included is
an InterCity Swallow liveried High Speed Train.

The locomotive is also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive
the Network SouthEast Class 159 on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train
Simulator, such as those available through Steam. Also included are scenarios
specifically for the The Riviera Line: Exeter-Paignton route (available
separately and required to play these scenarios).
