About This Content As the first diesel locomotives to be built at BR’s Darlington Works, the Class 24 was built as part of the British Rail Modernisation Plan in the late 1950s.The Class 24 was a Sulzer Type 2, Bo-Bo diesel-electric locomotive built between 1958 and 1961, incorporating numerous elements such as off-the-shelf standardised components used for manufacture, including a Sulzer 6LDA28 diesel engine and a 735Kw British Thomson-Houston (BTH) electric transmission, producing a total of 1,160hp resulting in a top speed of 75mph (120km/h).Built at BR’s Derby, Crewe and Darlington Works, Class 24s could be seen running services initially around Derby and Crewe, but eventually across the British Rail network hauling both passenger and freight. Fifteen of the original 20 locomotives were put into use on the Southern Region as the Kent Coast electrification scheme was behind schedule, and could also be spotted in the Eastern Region, London Midland Region, Wales and Lancashire.Class 24s also took over Condor freight services from London to Glasgow, replacing Class 28s, and became the foundation for the later Class 25 model.The first Class 24 to be withdrawn from service was D5051 in November 1967 and by 1979, all but three Class 24s had been withdrawn from service, 14 of which were scrapped before receiving a TOPS number. The final locomotive, 24081, was withdrawn in October 1980.Today, only four of the Class have survived into preservation, D5032 and D5061 at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, D5054 at the East Lancashire Railway and 24081 at the Gloucestershire & Warwickshire Railway.The BR Class 24 for Train Simulator recreates the locomotive as it operated for British Railways throughout the UK in the 1960s, and is available in British Railways corporate blue/grey livery. Also included are BR Mk1 coaches in corporate blue/grey livery and 40T YGH ‘Sealion’ ballast wagons.The locomotive is also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive the BR Class 24 on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train Simulator, such as those available through Steam. Also included are scenarios specifically for the Weardale & Teesdale Network route (available separately and required to play these scenarios).ScenariosThree scenarios for the Weardale & Teesdale Network route:Mickleton to DarlingtonDurham to DarlingtonShildon to BrandonMore scenarios are available on Steam Workshop online and in-game.

The gameplay is, on the wole, smooth, just perhaps a little juddering at slow speeds, but not enough to ruin the gameplay. I love the look and sound of the locomotive, and the passenger view is of the old class 2 (I think) carriages; atmospheric - you can almost smell that old train smell. Only seems to come with three scenarios, all for the Darlington\/Bishop's Auckland route, whuch is a shame, but perhaps these locos were only used on that region in real life. One of the better DTG DLCs. Recommended.. I do not write too many reviews for the myriad DLC's for Train Simulator in general. However I felt this deserved one. I would first like to add I'm a pretty big fan of US rail but much less of the other nations. I'll admit this is a loco pack I got just for the achievements. If it would not have had any, I'd not have bought it. I'm sure glad I did!Let me just say it's a great locomotive! It feels very real. It definitely gives you the feel of the early diesel era. The gauge lights work. The designers even added gauages for both vaccum brakes and Westinghouse brakes. For those who do not know, this locomotive was used in the crossover period between two different braking systems. I liked that the detail was added for those gauages, even if it it would not affect the train in the game. The sounds are superb and the scenarios were realistic and fun.Positives:+ Super realistic overall+ Excellent sounds+ Very good textures+ Wipers, lights, instruments all work very well.+ All scenarios work perfectly and give some variety.+ Scenarios are on one of the best routes available to the game+ All achievements work. This may not be important to some, but it is to me!+ One of the few DLC's for this game that I actually believe would be worth the full asking price.Negatives:- More scenarios by default would have been nice, tho it does come with the standard of three.. Waited for this one to come on sale and snapped it up. Nice representation of this sluggish, chugging, unreliable beast - if a tad low res compared to the very best offerings out there. Exhaust is not very well done (but acceptable), and sounds OK. Fine for the sale price. If you're like me and you love the deisels, get this while it's on sale 9-99 today. A must have for the collection. Add the (kindly) free test color loco and Mk1s from dpsimulations, and you have a winner.. Waited for this one to come on sale and snapped it up.

Going back to BR in its day it was very much an unreliable machine, however theres no chance of any traction motor flashovers with the 24 on ts 2016. Externally its very good with great detailing of side grilling and front ends with operable disc lighting.The cab interia is very good with 360 degree view and instrument light dimmer. The lovely tones of that lovely class 24 engine have been well incorporated and roof and exhauster are spot on. This has been a well worked loco and I would recommend it to anyone who loves the early BR diesels such as this beautiful design.
