About This Content As small mixed traffic branch locomotives, the Great Western Railway’s Prairies were diminutive workhorses of the railway network, and are now available for Train Simulator from Victory Works.The 2-6-2 tank engines were introduced to the GWR in 1904 with the 4400 Class, primarily for use on the railway’s numerous hilly branch lines. Only 11 of the class were built before the production of its successor, the 4500 Class – the same in design but with larger driving wheels, giving the locomotive extra speed and therefore more widely used on the GWR network.Between 1927 and 1929, a further 100 small Prairies were built with larger 1,300 gallon water tanks, and were allocated the Class number 4575. A number of these locomotives were fitted with equipment to run push-pull trains with autocoaches, which saw them pressed into service on lines through South Wales.Withdrawal of the Prairies began in the late 1950s and by the mid-1960s all had been assigned to the scrapyard. However, three 45xx Class and 11 4575 Class locomotives were saved and many run today on preserved railways around the UK.The GWR Small Prairies for Train Simulator, developed by Victory Works, are available in a variety of GWR and BR liveries – GWR Green and BR Black, plus BR Green (45xx Class and 4575 Class) and a fictional red livery for the 4575 Class.Three operating modes await drivers – simple, standard and advanced – each with their own style of driving and features for the novice and expert drivers. An abundance of detailing can also be found on each locomotive, including realistic wheel slip, simulated steam chest, operable cab doors, windows and hatches and 3D fireboxes. The 4575 Class can also be set with optional auto-gear to make it fully compatible with Victory Works’ GWR Class 14xx autocoaches.A number of freight wagons are also included with the locomotives, including fruit vans, covered goods vans, standard vans, banana vans, iron minks, milk siphons and toad brake vans.The locomotives are also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive the GWR Small Prairies 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).ScenariosSix scenarios for the Falmouth Branch route:Get Off Your Iron Horse… and Drink Your Milk!Penzance PuzzleGive GenerouslyHard GraftNight FreightAll StopsMore scenarios are available on Steam Workshop online and in-game.

I can only add that this is a bargain at this very generous introductory price. Be in quick.. The GWR Small Prairie is an absolute blast to drive, especially when given a small mixed goods train on the Falmouth route or happily shunting in the yards. The wagons are a blast to run on any train, especially the banana vans and fruit vans. The toads are great as well, very smooth runners. However it's the tankie that does it for me. Such a fun experience and is worth it.. A Great, Great Western engine to buy! I highly recommend this! :D. This item is good. But Mabye we should get some large prarires into the gwr line, or 2800s or night owls 4700s, or 4200s I reccomend this.. Small, but beautifully formed...Despite being tank engines, the Small Prairies really prove just how much power you can get out of a small engine, both in real life and, I'm pleased to say, in Train Simulator. Victory Works always seem to make some of the best steam engines for TS, always packed with plenty of features. One such feature is the sheer amount of liveries for both variations (either small or large water tanks), though I find it odd that the red LT livery has 'Capital Railways' on its side instead of 'London Transport'. Is it really a copyrighted livery? I always thought it more as artistic license...Either way, they're still nicely modelled & very well represented. Apart from one thing: the sounds are a little underwhelming, but with the Steam Sounds Supreme Sound Pack being only around \u00a35 extra, it's a cheap fix. But this is only a minor criticism, as the rest of the pack makes up for it. With tons of included rolling stock including Mink Vans, Siphons & Toad Brakevans and 6 scenarios, this pack is somewhat worth its large price tag, but definetly quite a bargain in a sale!So if you're a GWR fan looking for something new that can guarantee a fun few journies, be they Passenger or Freight, Advanced or Simple, this is definetly the Pack for you!. Ive had this DLC for 12months now, The models are great and textures look really nice both inside and outside the cab,view out of cab window allows you to drive the loco from within the cab unlike some DLC.Sound design is really nice although the loco exhaust sounds are awful to my ears but other reviewers have praised the sound.Ihave only driven these locos in advanced mode and they are good steamers,manually topping the boiler up with water the injectors can be a little fussy, and these locos would give Lewis Hamilton a run for is money from a standing start, 0 to 40mph is easily acheived in 27 secs.I think the smoke effects on these locos are some of the best in TS.Plenty of rolling stock comes with DLC loads of custom options from within the editor.my only gripe with this DLC is that there is no cab light if your on the night shift your knackered, my score would be 8.5 out of 10.
