About This Content One of the most well-liked and successful locomotives of the Great Western Railway, 5029 Nunney Castle depicted in preservation form, steams into Train Simulator courtesy of Partner Programme Developer Bossman Games.5029 Nunney Castle was built in 1934 as one of 171 'Castle' Class locomotives built by the GWR and spent much of her working life based at Old Oak Common in London but also had spells at Worcester and further west into Devon. Toward the end of her life she operated out of Cardiff, from where she travelled to London, into Wales and north to Shrewsbury and Birmingham.In 1964 she was retired by British Railways and sent to Barry Scrap yard in Wales. She remained there for a full 12 years before being rescued and was first returned to steam at Didcot Railway Centre in 1990 with main line certification follow soon thereafter. In the late 1990s Nunney Castle underwent another overhaul that saw the fitting of air brake equipment and changes to her tender to increase water capacity.2012 saw Nunney Castle back in the engine shed for an intermediate overhaul to her 'bottom end' - the wheels, frames and motion - before enjoying a two-year stint back on the main line. She is currently withdrawn from service and undergoing an overhaul that will see her return to the main line soon.The locomotive is Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive Nunney Castle on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train Simulator, such as those available through Steam.

I mean, my username sort of gives away my bias, but I would say this is possibly the best pack of 2017. The brake options are excellent. Having the M8 for air and GWR for vacuum is brilliant, and I love the AWS horn. Hopefully the tender will be corrected. The manual and listing mention her larger tender, but the model (listed as 5029 tender 2008- ) does not have the expanded water tank, higher bunker rail, GSM-R box, or tool cover. But only a minor thing, hopefully which will be corrected. The only disappointing part of the loco is the whistle. Hopefully SSS will fix the whistle, but everything else is excellent. For any Western enthusiast this is a must. For the comments about the brakes, possibly the stock is mismatched? I have no difficulty, and I did a test, using air brake 5 Riviera Line Mk1 BGs (Vac) on a stretch of track-.34 miles to stop, using RSC Class 52 Mk1 BGs(Air)-.12 miles to stop (same number, section of line, and speed). This is quickly to sum up the pros and cons I have found i may add to this later PROS1 Includes 3 liveries for the locomotive2 There are a variety of head codes and headboards for Great Western\/Western Region express trains3 Includes a support coach in its own livery4 Very few problems with the performance of the locomotive I can get it to 95MPH with 10 mk1sCONS1 The air brakes are rather poor performing2 its practicaly imposible to fire the locomotive without automatic fireman whilst driving as the firemass does not increase quickly enough3 The whistle is the same as the standard castle overall this is a good locomotive but the issues with the fireman need to be adressed. If they were then I would over look the other cons please let me know if you have the same issues with firemass!. dont like nunney castle in quick drive should be in career it only pulls one coach.. Not bad value for money, despite being a copy of the Riviera Castle class base model and sounds, the cab now has new features and is more advanced. Would recommend if you don't have the original Castle pack.. Very nice add-on for GWR fans. However, there really seems to be an issue with brakes, they seem to feel quite weak, both air and vacuum brakes... otherwise I\u00b4d recommend.. Very nice pack! Great job done by Bossman Games - looking forward to their Black 5! Only snag I had troubles with, the braking (air and vac), found both to be very weak and takes quite a while to bring the loco (with\/without stock) to a stand. Other than that I reccomend!. Nice little pack, Really well done. Would reccomend this DLC
