[b]23/11/2017[/b] We have now released an update for the InterCity Class 91 Add-on, which adds the modern East Coast livery into the mix! The BR Class 91 was built to fulfil the electrification of the East Coast Main Line in the late 1980s. Branded as the InterCity 225, it was intended to run the new electric services at speeds as high as 140 mph (225 km/h), and as a result the BR Class 91 was designed to operate at such speeds. The technology of the BR Class 91 was derived from the Advanced Passenger Train-Prototype, which you can read about in “The West Coast’s Fallen Stallion”, and would propel it into the record books. The 91s would not only become the fastest British locomotive, but they would also achieve the shortest journey time between London and Edinburgh. Unique in most aspects, the BR Class 91 is equipped with both a streamlined nose for standard push-pull operation, and also a ‘blunt-end’ cab allowing standard locomotive operation. While limited to 110 mph in blunt-end-forward mode, it certainly sets the 91s apart from other designs and offers sight not often seen! After working for the BR “InterCity” sector, the 91s, and their counterpart Mk4 and DVT rolling stock, would subsequently operate under GNER, National Express East Coast, and from 2009 until 2015, East Coast. East Coast was set up under Directly Operated Railways, a subsidiary of the Department for Transport after National Express abandoned their own ‘NXEC’ franchise. For all intents and purposes, the Class 91s, and the East Coast Main Line, were thrown into a brief era of Nationalisation until 2015, when Virgin Trains East Coast acquired the franchise. With this free update to the already-available Intercity Class 91, which features the Electra locomotive in InterCity Swallow livery, we have added East Coast’s crisp light grey and pink livery for prominent and up-to-date operations on the ECML: London – Peterborough route within Train Simulator! Existing owners of the InterCity Class 91 will receive this additional livery for free, and it will download automatically from Steam with an estimated download size of 100 MB.
