About This Content The Class 33 ‘Crompton’ is a classic British Rail Southern Region diesel locomotive, and is ready to get to work for you in Train Simulator. The Class 33 first appeared in British Rail Green livery in 1960 and was deployed in the south east. The first British Rail locomotives to be fitted with a modern electric train heating system, the 33 quickly spread across the whole Southern Region and could occasionally be seen much further afield, mostly running passenger services but also turning its hand to freight operations. A total of 98 examples were built, fitted with 1,550-horsepower Sulzer engines, and they proved popular with crews. The ‘Crompton’ worked throughout the BR Blue and Network Southeast eras, and 40 survived in service up to the privatisation of the network and continued working for their new owners, EWS. These have now been retired from service, though a number survive in preservation today. With 7 authentic liveries and Sea Lion ballast hoppers, the Class 33 Add-On for Train Simulator is a classic for British Rail diesel fans.Includes:Class 33 diesel locomotive in 7 liveries: BR Green, BR Blue, BR ‘Dutch’ Grey, EWS Maroon, BR General Grey, Network Southeast, BR Sector Grey Sea Lion ballast hopper wagons 7aa9394dea Title: Train Simulator: BR Class 33 Loco Add-OnGenre: SimulationDeveloper:Dovetail GamesPublisher:Dovetail Games - TrainsFranchise:Train SimulatorRelease Date: 1 Aug, 2012 Train Simulator: BR Class 33 Loco Add-On Ativador Download For its age, this is a very nice loco. So its old and uses old stock for the scenarios. Has 4 scenarios for PDL and GWMl. 7 liverys and hoppers. Only thing is now new choaching stock. It has new sounds from what I know. Overall a 7\/10 loco!. The Class 33 has been around for a while now on TS (Since August 2012) even though its showing its age its still a great addition to your TS roster. PROS: - EWS, NSE, BR blue, BR green, Mainline grey, Dutch Grey liveries all fantastically produced. - Adequate sounds. - Wagon rake included. CONS:- Sounds are now a little dated. Given that its a old model in account I give it 7\/10 (mainly for the liveries included). I seem to have a bit of trouble loading the loco in the custom consists. I get the dreaded save_error_dump message every time. On the plus side however, it is a great loco for it's time. Especially as it has a two tone horn but still requires a sound pack for the experience to be enhanced.. Well it's certainly been around long enough to become a 'Classic' and have it's price lowered to $9.99 which is pretty nice. It comes with a nice selection of liveries ranging from the early days of BR Green upto EWS and NSE with the loco come in seperate versions 33\/0 and 33\/1. Despite coming out in 2012 it still looks good with decent sounds and cab\/panel lights with strong scenario making potential thanks to the various versions and schemes. Also included is the Sea Lion bllast wagons.For the serious Class 33 fans Armstrong Powerhouse has a Class 33 sound pack to replace the currently dated sounds.I have come across a annoying problem and involves the throttle and brakes not responding to keyboard commands when the Class 33 is set to go to Faversham on the London-Faversham route in scenario maker. Even if Faversham is removed as a stop or destination the problem remains and the only fix so far is to restart building the scenario from scratch and avoid using Faversham.. Nice selection of liveries + scenarios for two routes (which is rare for a steam dlc). Those routes are PDL and GWML (both kuju versions). As for the train itself the sounds are okay minus the horn which sounds like a car horn to me..

This is a Great loco to have on Train Sim. This is probably my favorit loco in Train Sim at the moment :). I bought this loco for 9 USD on sale, and I was quite surprised. A few people I had talked to said this model was outdated, poor sounds ,etc, but for some reason, I found myself thouroughly enjoying it! I like the variety of Liveries available in this pack, my favorites being the NSE "Toothpaste" and the "Dutch" Engineering. I also LOVE the sounds of those classic Sulzer engines thumping away. The one thing I found with the locomotive that I did NOT like, was that as soon as you put a few cars on the rear, it bogs the engine WAY down. I was running a stopping service on the Great Western Mainline, with 5 coaches, and could only get upto 60 in a distance of 2 miles.Overall, I would definitely recommend this locomotive for purchase, though I can't say as though I would buy it for full price, just as it IS a little outdated. Final rating= 8.5\/10Also, if you want to take this locomotive to the next level, you should buy the Armstrong Powerhouse Class 33 Sound Pack\t. This completely revamps the sound set, and makes the 33 among the best-sounding in game!
