Train Simulator: LMS Stanier Class 5 'Black Five' Steam Loco Add-On Download Computer

Updated: Mar 8, 2020





















































About This Content A total of 842 “Black Five” locomotives were built for the London, Midland and Scottish and later British Railways; and, a truly definitive add-on is unleashed, in the form of Partner Programme developer Bossman Games’ fantastic LMS Stanier Class 5!What became one of the more memorable locomotives in British rail history starts its story in the early 1930s, when William Stanier, Chief Mechanical Engineer of the London, Midland and Scottish Railway (LMS), sought to design a new and suitably powerful mixed-traffic locomotive. In his early LMS days, Stanier used his engineering skills which he acquired while working for GWR, however steadily refining and honing his own unique style of locomotive.When the LMS needed more powerful traction, Stanier’s response was equivalent to the GWR’s Hall Class, a 4-6-0 with a rating of 5 for passenger, and 5 for freight – the Stanier Class 5.Originally the Class 5 fleet was known as “Black Stanier”, in contrast to the “Red Stanier” Jubilee Class; however, when ‘5’ was seen adorned on the cab side from 1940 onwards, a new “Black Five” name befell the fleet.The do-anything attitude of the Black Five saw their popularity rise with both crews and enthusiasts alike – it could turn up almost anywhere, get the job done, and look good while doing it – the fleet of 842 was a familiar sight right up until the end of steam.The Black Fives were sadly scrapped in droves, but an impressive 18 were saved for use on both preservation railways and mainline railtours, and the preserved fleet has a history of ‘acting’ by means of temporary alternative numbers to revive lost members of the class.The Stanier Class 5 from Bossman Games arrives with no comparison and includes:Circa-2018 representations of preserved 45407, 44871 & 45212, including 45407's appearance as 45157 “The Glasgow Highlander”British Railways with Early & Late Emblem, Clean & WeatheredLMS 1930s Lined Black, Unlined Black both Clean & WeatheredWelded and rivetted tendersMK1 Coaches in BR Maroon with BR1 bogiesCirca-2018 MK2A BFK Support CoachWith the ability to drive any example of the class, in both LMS and BR eras, plus preserved examples, a whole range of advanced features, incredible detail throughout, 10 Career scenarios and so much more, the Stanier Class 5 rightfully earns its place within the Pro Range!

I have all the Pro Steam locomotive available on the market and not one can even be compared with this locomotive. As a Steam Locomotive driver for 30 years now I can just say that this is a real as the real thing, the only thing that needs now to make it 100% steam locomotive is the smell of smoke, steam and oil. Bosman Games have surely win the contest of creating the best Steam Locomotive on the market, it won\u2019t be beaten by anyone. The Locomotive swinging, the gauges moving, the footplate movement at the tender, wow it is just to much for words to describe how awesome this locomotive is made. Gold medal for Bosman games, you really made the best and my views is from being a real train driver on Steam for many years and still rolling on the Sandstone Estates Steam Railway in South Africa and previously working on the large SAR class steam locomotives. I must say that I would easily pay 6 times the price for a locomotive like this and I know some may say I must not mention this but really, I have paid large amounts of money for DLC some times and then after I test locomotives I am disappointed about them, but this one cost was low, so at first I wanted to pass because I did not expect much of the locomotive at this price and then, then came my surprise, one awesome locomotive. This is like a real steam locomotive in a simulator, the sounds are great, even the ejector sounds is awesome because in real life we listen to the sound of the air flow into the ejector and know exactly how much brakes we have applied without looking at the vacuum gauge, now with this locomotive even this is the same. If Bosman can edit all the locomotives on the market to be like this one then I surely would buy them all again. I will call Bosman Games the master of this art.. Best loco in the entire game so far 10\/10, it would be amazing if all steam locos had this amount of effort and detail. Okay this thing is incredible, definitely the best steam engine for TS in my opinion with some of Just Trains' ones only just coming short.Sounds of the engine are great, features are awesome and once you get to grips with driving it it's so rewarding.Only gripe with it is the MK1's have hardly any sound (haven't checked any other wagons though) but that's only a minor gripe.. Only problem I have been hunting around for the 'manual cant find it anywhere. I would love to try it but so far not possible.. I purchased this pack no less then an hour ago and I haven't even placed a driver marker on the locomotive in the scenario editor yet and already i am un-pleased with it. After all the "hype" of this pack being so advanced this pack actually lacks some major features. All the black 5's in all liveries (excluding the Ian Riley 3) have got the same builders plate of armstrong whitworth & co, the manual lacks the description on what the last 3 digits in the numbering system mean and do not even states a section about the numbering system in general for any new players, all black 5's (that aren't 45407, 44871 and 45212) have the same shedcode of 26 D which is where Ian Riley is based, theres no unlined BR livery in either clean or weathered state, there's no other versions of the class that had the other types of boilers (Ivatt forward top feed and domeless like 5025 and 5000), the rolling stock provided being the MK1's, MK2, 16t Mineral Wagon and brakevan, are reused stock with different textures that we've had multiple times again and again from the start of the game and from other packs that have been reused in them, the only NEW rolling stock this pack offers is the GUV. The RATB chatting\/ token system for the Benavie signalman does NOT have a scottish accent despite the fact the signalman IS scottish. All in all the RRP of \u00a314.99 is not really worth it and to best stay with the original Kuju model of the Stanier 5MT and purchase the SteamSoundSupreme packs for different liveries & conditions. This offered so much potential and it was just nothing more then over-hyped and seems all the focus was aimed towards the Riley 3 then the other models which again for \u00a314.99 for 3 Black 5's and reused\/ retextured stock just doesn't seem to be justified. Hats off to BMG for making a newer looking model of the Stanier 5MT with newer sounds but thats just about it. Honestly if i knew all this before the purchase i wouldn't have broke open the wallet for these.. The Bossman Games Black 5 is a DLC i've looked foward to for a long time. The Black 5 that came default for so many years with railworks was good for its time, but has shown its age. The new engine from Bossman Games brings realism to British steam that hasnt really been seen all that much. The Black 5 has amazing sounds and visuals that will make you believe you are at the throttle of a real Black 5. The simulation is superb, boasting all the qwerks of the real engine, making for a fun learning curve. The engine is also the only steam locomotive in TS that is equiped with the Electric Token System for use on the West Highland Line Extension, a great added feature that adds more realism to the game.I highly recomend this DLC to any British steam fans, or just for people looking for a very in-depth simulation of a locomotive.. This is (imho) the best European steam loco available on the Steam Store.Here is my honest appraisal:Pros: Looks fantastic with great attention to detail.It took a noob like me from being HUD reliant, to feeling confident pulling levers etcin the cab - with very little difficulty! (reading the manual is required)Cold start routine is a great thing for immersion seekers.Plenty of things to click, press, open, twiddle, play with - both in the cab and on the exterior.Good soundsCons:Shed codes cannot be changed (RIP to accuracy in scenarios set in the 60's etc)No details for scenario makers in the manual regarding numbering & placement of headcode lights.Conclusion:As u can see there is no reason really, to say no to this loco - I love it to bits despite it's minor flaws.Thumbs up from me.
