I'm a huge fan of these Peppercorns, and Victory Works did them some great justice in my opinion. Nice cabins, good sounds, lots of liveries, and good scripting will keep you chugging along and give you lots to play with. With looks to kill, and the more advanced scripting that gives you a bit more of a realistic experience, I can't recommend this enough.. By far one of the best Loco's in Railworks the k1 is right on the mark and In response to the unplayable Advanced mode stated in another review.READ THE MANUAL it tells all there are no issues with the reverser in advanced mode if you are thinking about getting this engine just get it, it really is worth the money. 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.. 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.. Having shied away from purchasing further Steam locomotive DLC due to past dissapointments in performance and simulation quality (not from Victory Works), I was extremely interested in this particular model due to the apparent painstaking efforts taken by the modelers to provide a Steam locomotive that is more akin to what I have always wanted in Train Simulator but have repeatedly been foiled. All I can say is WOW! Victory Works, I tip my hat to this most excellent production, you have indeed set the bar for all other Steam locomotive modelers. Finally when I am on the foot-plate I really feel like I am on the footplate. Being somewhat hardcore, I only have used the locomotive in Advanced mode thus far, but can attest that all control scripting works equally well with Raildriver or keyboard. The little touches are great but finally we have two additions to Steam simulation which I believe are real winners and the way forward here: 1). Steam Chest pressure gauge - Virtual steam chest pressure means that you now have visual feedback on the tractive effort being applied, and you need that gauge because with it we finally have a steam locomotive that models wheel-slip, both visible and audible. 2). A graphical representation of the fireman's shovel, this is more practical than it sounds because it is used to both set and indicate the amount of firing effort being applied, my previous experience was that there was no real indication of firing rate; you could change it via mapped keys, but there was no graphical feedback apart from messing around with HUD settings. This locomotive is challenging (in advanced mode), but the rewards of mastering these challenges give you a great sense of satisfaction. The only criticism I could think of was that the provided scenarios begin with a full boiler, as a result it is imperative that you leave those cylinder-u2665u2665u2665u2665u2665 open until you begin to see a gap appear in the sight glasses, and if you are in doubt you can always perform a blow-down check to be certain. Failing to keep the cylinder-u2665u2665u2665u2665u2665 open for a while initially, will have catastrophic results . Other than this small gripe I can honestly say that this locomotive is going to be a tough act to follow by other modelers. Again, I must stress that do not have much in the way of Steam Locomotive DLC, as such I may have missed on other quality model simulacra, but when the only option is to "pay your money and take your chances", I decided to stop taking further chances period. Thus I qualify my above remarks; it may be that there is other Steam Locomotive DLC out there that is an equal to this, but not to my limited knowledge.. This loco is the best steam engine in game so far available on steam. The sounds and steam effects are excellent. The wheelslip effect is excellent too, with the sound being synchronized with the movements of the wheels. The only minor complaint I have is that I find the textures too dark and lacking definition and details for the weathered engine, and a too clean and shiny aspect for the engine in pristine condition, looking almost like if it was made of plastic or lacker. Even a well maintained and clean engine should have a few dents and scratches to make it more lifelike. Also, this is a very good steamer (perhaps even a bit too much, it looks to me that it's probably a bit too easy to generate steam, but I could be wrong). The rolling stock included in the addon is nice and add variety (some brand new waggons and loads) The new interior cab view that allow to operate the controls while peeking outside checking the signals at the same time is very nice. There are 8 scenarios coming with this addon (that's more than the usual number, which is a good thing) To resume: this is a must have loco for the steam enthousiast, as this is the best steam locomotive released on steam so far. I hope more steam locos like this will be released for the Weardale and Teasdale rail network.. Well in my humble opinion this is one of the best DLC steam locomotives out there. Victory Works so far have never disappointed and certainly this one doesn't. The steam chest is modeled beautifully and the sounds are very nice. The model itself is very nice and highly detailed. I doubt you will be dissapointed by this and really reccomend it. The fact you can add the nameplate, change the headboards and change the tender crest really helps with the creation of your ideal locomotive. I can't reccomend it enough. Superb.. I love this loco, not a single fault, lovely recorded sounds which we need to hear more of, i personally go for the full experience of advanced mode which i can cope with very well but if i cba i just stick it on normal mode and thats loverly too, i dont even have the required route for the loco cos im always driving loco LNER 2005 or B R 62005 (same loco in B R Black) on the west highland line extention where it was built for, it gives you a good challange so you can test its limits.. If you're thinking about getting, or even trying, a steam loco, get this one, it's a real gem. Really. Read the manual first, it will save you lot of time (even if you're already familiar with steam locos). And then practice practice practice. (P.S.. 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 steam Cons: (-) . .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.
