About This Content Experience the thrill of controlling classic German steam traction in the form of the DR BR 86, which is available now for Train Simulator. The Standard, or Einheitsdampflokomotive Class 86 was built between 1928 and 1943 by many of the German locomotive manufacturers of that era, it was a 2-8-2 tank locomotive and 776 were built. The first 10 locomotives were built with counter pressure brakes to be operable on mountain routes. The Class 86 was designed to be operated on goods trains across branch line routes throughout Germany and beyond with Deutsche Bundesbahn, ÖBB (Austrian Federal Railways) and PKP (Poland) all being buyers of this locomotive. After 1942, the Class 86 started to be built as ‘transitional war’ variants to simply the design, making construction and maintenance cheaper and easier during the Second World War, changes were made to the cab windows and the wheels to name a few. The first member of the class was retired as early as 1945 by ÖBB who withdrew their entire fleet by 1972. During their operating life this class did haul incredible ore trains with the aid of the DBR Class 52s. Deutsche Bundesbahn retired all engines in 1974, the DR used the engines till 1976, with two of the engines being re-activated in 1982 untill 1988. The last loco to be withdrawn was 86 0001, making it the longest serving of all the standard locomotives in a scheduled service by a national railway at an impressive 60 years old. Twelve Class 86s have survived into preservation today with 9 stored in Germany, 2 in Austria and 1 in Poland. One loco has been preserved, the DB BR 86 457 which unfortunately got extensively damaged in the fire at the Nuremberg Transport Museum. The DR BR 86 for Train Simulator recreates the Class 86 steam locomotive as it operated for DB and DR as a mixed traffic locomotive in the common black and red livery from the 1930s used by Deutsche Bundesbahn. As a steam locomotive that operated into the 1970s and 1980s, it is fitted with modern safety systems such as PZB and also comes with Ucs wagons in black and white with the DB logo and Shimms wagons in DB Schenker and Railion livery. The DR BR 86 features Driver Assist which provides you with real-time feedback on the handling of the locomotive, and can teach you how to provide optimum control input in order to keep the engine at peak operating condition. The locomotive is also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive the DR BR 86 on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train Simulator, such as those available on Steam. Also included are scenarios specifically for the West Rhine: Köln-Koblenz route (available as part of Train Simulator 2016: Steam Edition and required to play these scenarios).ScenariosThree scenarios for the Köln - Koblenz route: Going On An Adventure: Part 1 Going On An Adventure: Part 2 Steaming ThroughMore scenarios are available on Steam Workshop online and in-game.

If you have BR52 though, there is a modified cfg hanging somewhere on german forums that lets you put its crew on this engine. The loco is kind of realistic to drive and well made. Has a lot of little, unnoticable details, like reverser gear moving outside the loco when you work it.Two passenger scenarios are very nice, but I think the freight one is simply unfair. (Mind that I've been playing in realistic mode with pzb on). Very hard to keep up with the timetable, pretty much impossible.I CAN'T RECOMMEND THIS DLC BECAUSE you'll probably be better off buying the Wutachtalbahn instead, since it usually has a similar price and provides the same content as this, plus passenger coaches and...well...a route (athough kinda lazily-made and with more unfair scenarios). So, Get it only if it's much, much cheaper than Wutachtalbahn and if you're not interested in getting DR coaches and a heritage route.. I find this loco a bit of a let down after driving the Peppercorn K1. Chuffing sounds are poor. As you speed up they sound more like drums.. Well, what can I say; BRILLIANCE! Let me put it to you this way,Pros:-Whistle is Fantastic-HAS A BELL-The Air Pumps, Brake Blocks, Reversing Gear AND Smokebox door function-Model is EXTREMELY detailed-Lighting is superb-Decent Choice of rolling stock-3 Scenarios-Model from a country that hasn't seen ANY steam since the BR52Cons:-Chuff sounds sound like the old BR52-No Lens flare on the headlamps-Wagons are a bit modern for this loco-Scenarios are a bit short for such a mixed traffic locoTo sum up then, this is a QUALITY addon from DoveTail, and the best steam loco made by said developer, and has so many features. The lighting is great, and it has a BELL, which is infact, a USA bell that has been recycled, which is fine. JClassFan Recommends this addon to ANY railway lover. The DR BR 86 Loco Add-On by DTG gets a final score of 20\/21. Well Done Indeed!. A lot of the earlier steam locomotives from Dovetail I haven't been terribly impressed with, although this one marks a departure in their previous offerings. Although not a fully clickable cabin (I'd like to be able to open windows, etc.), overall the simulation is fairly decent and offers a fun experience of a great German locomotive.I'm no historian, so I can't attest to the accuracy of the simulation. That being said, she sounds relatively good, looks good, and has enough complexity to make it a fun and somewhat busy ride for enthusiasts. Get this when it is on sale, rather than at full price (when compared to other offerings of similar price). You'll be glad to have it I suspect.. THIS LOCOMOTIVE IS INCLUDED IN THE WUTACHTALBAHNOnly buy this if you're after the scenarios!. I agree with both points below. The detailing on the loco is exquisite, both in cab and out. It sounds amazing, until you reach higher speeds. Around... lets say 30+ mph\/kph, the chuff rate sounds abnormal, and the wheel and axle rotation become jerky. It just loses all smooth rotation and kinda ruins the look. So aside from chuff rate and wheel animation, it really is a great locomotive.. This locomotive is amazing! Like really good. One of the best steam locos I've seen from DTG in a long time. Here's what I think in detail.PROS-Very detailed modelThe whistle is just beautiful The new controls (steam heat compressor, turbo compressor etc) all work really well just like a real steam loco Has great sounds.Very very very high response brakingCONS-The reverser is glitches and will sometimes accelerate when in 0%The chuffing sounds don't really sounds very well until you reach about 30mphVery prone to wheelslipIn total I think this is an amazing loco.nI have created a scenario for it so check that out when possible Out of 10? This deserves a juicy 9!!. Very nice loco, only things that I wish it had is generator steam effect and footplate crew. If you have BR52 though, there is a modified cfg hanging somewhere on german forums that lets you put its crew on this engine. The loco is kind of realistic to drive and well made. Has a lot of little, unnoticable details, like reverser gear moving outside the loco when you work it.Two passenger scenarios are very nice, but I think the freight one is simply unfair.
