About This Content The LNER Peppercorn K1 locomotives were built between 1949 and 1950, with the intention of splitting them between the North Eastern and Eastern Regions. Many K1s would regularly be seen as far north as Edinburgh and they were frequently used on the West Highland line in the early days. Many were later allocated to the Eastern Region with a large number going to March, Cambridgeshire. K1's were used throughout the former LNER network and proved to be very versatile, working everything from local coal trains to express passenger services.The K1’s were withdrawn and scrapped by 1967: however, No. 62005 was used for a short time as an emergency boiler and consequently survived into preservation. It has become very popular on main line rail tours especially on the West Highland Line to Mallaig and has also sported the un-prototypical, but very fetching, LNER Green Lined livery as No. 2005.ScenariosEight scenarios for the Weardale & Teesdale Network Route Back In Service Coal to Penrith March Surprise Passenger Duties Pea Souper West Durham Rail Tour Bricks Without Straw April ShowersMore scenarios are available on Steam Workshop online and in-game.

Two Words: Victory Wow. This is by far the best model out there not just on steam but from all the models currently out there in the train simulator collection. Sounds crisp and clean, Textures a work of art and the models avalaible you could wet yourself with excitment. ANybody who hasn't go this is either mad or has nothing better to do with themselfs. Go and get this please PS: the only thing that could beat this is if someone made the LNER T2\/Q6. Easily the best of all my locos for trainsim (and I've got a lot). The attention to detail is far better than anything else, this is a real enthusiast's add on. From blow down test of the water level gauges, steam heating, sparks under hard braking and the best smoke and noise effects I've seen. If you like trainsim you must get this - but take the time to learn advanced controls or you'll not get the best from it...this add on is superb though, a must buy.. Lovely loco for a lovely route to be very blunt. Good scenarios ranging from freight work to passenger runs in all types of weather all over the route so you'll be kept busy thanks to Victory Works and their attention to detail.. @ sergeant _ oddball what you are saying about driving in advanced mode and changing the reverser is 100% incorrect. To move the reverser you hold the E key down to unlock it and while doing so move the reverser. Once that you have moved the reverser let the E key go. I see that you have only 233hrs in TS and have lots to learn. I have over 2,000hrs playing TS. This is a great loco and anybody into steamers should buy this loco.. Undoubtedly the best DLC locomotive out there for the UK base in the Steam Era.You get 2 livery variants, BR Black and LNER Green. You get a heavily weathered version of the BR Black one too, which means you can represent easily the time where steam received very poor maintenance and care. With the BR one, you can physically change in session what is displayed on the tender by pressing a combination of buttons. Both unweathered BR and the LNER model can have nameplates and headboards fitted as an added bonus by pressing similar combinations on the keyboard (CTRL + 1-4 set head\/tail lights, CTRL + 6-9 inc. 0 alter things such as cab lights, CTRL + 5 changes whether you set headlights on the loco or tender).The amount of freight rolling stock you get from this as well is incredible, including items such as Palbrick A and B wagons, trestles and even ex-Private Owner wagons. This gives you the ability to run so many different freight trains and hugely bolsters your freight stock for the UK front. Sadly, it does not come with any coaches, but that can be overlooked since the freight stock makes up for it.The sounds are on point, you get long continuous blasts of the whistle from the Space Bar or short blasts from the B button. The general beat of the blastpipe is great, although the beat above 40mph can be grinding.The locomotive seems to be geared towards running at 40-50mph, since it's scenarios are on the Weardale and Teesdale Network, however it can achieve 75mph with 10 coaches (tested on Western Lines of Scotland). It also monsters most inclines up to about 1:70, even towing reasonably heavy trains. The only questionable thing is being able to accelerate at 3% cutoff, which I'm pretty sure is impossible in real life.Victory Works have produced an absolute stunner. I give it 10\/10. Definitely worth the full price, and an absolute must have.. Conclusion first:This DLC does not only contain a great loco, but the whole package with loco, rolling stock, comprehensive manual, scenarios (8 instead of the listed 5) is absolutely worth the money - even outside Sale.It's an amazing loco and even if you are not the most skilled steam-driver (like me) you surely will be capable to drive the K1 with just minimal practising. I give it a 9.5 out of 10 as the overall "package" really impresses me which is far above the average of other "PRO"-locos and DLCs as such.Pros:(+) very detailed model in 3 different liveries (clean, worn, LNER Green) and various logos to choose for the tender(+) 'standard' and 'advanced' driving mode which you may toggle on\/off whenever you like(+) advanced mode gives you (respectively it gave me) the extra-kick to cope with the challenges, but reading the manual is a "must" though(+) great driving physics and very convenient to drive and operate(+) great sound (I have to admit I have never heard the real K1, but it sounds great to me in TS)(+) great 'feeling' to drive looking at all details in combination with sounds, steam, etc. looks "real" to me(+) EIGHT (not 5 as per the steam-description) (career) scenarios which I find immmersive and a pleasure to drive. Difficulty various from easy to advanced, but all achievable without any problems and a great help to get familiar with the K1.(+) comprehensive manual which I recommend to read (you then have paid for it anyways :-)(+) a lot of little features such as opening the roof, windows, etc.(+) various rolling (girders, trusses, various pipes, steel plates, etc.) stock which completes the package(+) ...and quite some more => read the description on steamCons:(-) .......nothing that I'm aware of, except a real minor one for scenario creators: I did not succeed to figure out how to switch-on the headlight if you use the K1 as AI in your scenarios.
