Train Simulator: BR GT3 Turbine Loco Add-On - Experience British Railway History!

Relive a fascinating chapter of British railway engineering with the Train Simulator: BR GT3 Turbine Loco Add-On from Victory Works. This DLC brings one of the most unique locomotives ever built, the GT3 Gas Turbine Prototype, to your virtual railway. Dive into the world of steam locomotive innovation and experience the thrill of piloting this groundbreaking machine.

A Gas Turbine Pioneer: The GT3 Locomotive

The GT3 was conceived as part of a late 1940s program aimed at developing efficient gas turbine locomotives. Designed by English Electric engineer JOP Hughes, its construction commenced in the early 1950s. Experience this classic train with its distinctive 4-6-0 wheel arrangement and single driving cab, a design necessitated by the limitations of existing machining tools. Drive this unique piece of railway history!

Power and Innovation Under the Hood

Harness the power of the 2,700hp EM27L Gas Turbine, a two-stage marvel with a mechanical gearbox driving directly to the wheels. Feel the efficiency at high speeds! The lightweight design of the turbine required the locomotive's frames to be significantly thicker than those of similarly sized steam locomotives, ensuring the necessary traction. Take on challenging routes and experience realistic train simulator physics.

Authenticity and Features

The GT3 retains its steam locomotive heritage with a traditional tender holding 2,000 gallons of fuel oil and a vertical boiler with 1,765 gallons of water. The Train Simulator add-on offers unprecedented realism, featuring:

• GT3 Turbine in original demonstrator and fictional British Rail blue liveries
• Simulated turbine flood when overfilled
• Working window demister on cold days
• Optional manual cold start sequence
• Battery isolation switches
• Opening cab doors and windows
• Configurable head codes/tail lights
• Exhaust heat haze
• Tender interior view
