About This Content The Class 158 Express Sprinter is a familiar site to people across Britain, and this classic DMU (diesel multiple unit) is ideal for running passenger services on your UK routes in Train Simulator. The Class 158 was introduced by British Rail in 1989 as part of the programme to replace ageing heritage DMUs still in service. With an aluminium body, the Class 158 was dubbed the Express Sprinter as it was designed to accelerate rapidly between stations, making it ideal for stopping services where new tighter timetables could now be introduced. With a top speed of 90mph and comfortable interior furnishings, it was also intended to be capable of handling longer services with ease. The Class 158 for Train Simulator includes three liveries, allowing you to recreate services from different parts of Britain. 1075eedd30 Title: Train Simulator: Class 158 DMU Add-OnGenre: SimulationDeveloper:Dovetail GamesPublisher:Dovetail Games - TrainsFranchise:Train SimulatorRelease Date: 16 Aug, 2012 Train Simulator: Class 158 DMU Add-On Download For Pc [addons] The Class 158 like most DTG models is far from perfect, particularly as it doesn't come with any scenarios. However I would still recommend buying this, but only in a sale. There are plenty of free reskins available around the web which keeps it interesting as well.. The class 158 is a nice train to be added to Train Simulator as it runs on quite a few routes. The South and North of the UK so there are a lot of possibilities with this train. Unfortunately, some things are inaccurate- such as the sounds and how fast the doors open. However, overall I enjoy driving it. Rating: 8\/10. This unit is very nice, the sounds are not the best so I would strongly advise you bought the Armstrong Powerhouse sound pack. 9\/10. The Class 158 is my favourite Electric Multiple Unit. This thing can go all the way up to 90 MPH all without a Pantograph or Third Rail shoe. Certainly the finest in British engineering...What's that? This is a DMU? Well don't blame me, this sure sounds it's running off electricity.On a serious note here. The sounds are terrible. The scenarios have been removed ever since they've started prioritising Career Scenarios so much to the extent that they removed all the standard scenarios for this train. The textures are low quality and the addon overall is just outdated. Funny thing is, DTG couldn't care less about any of these flaws, because these sounds have been reused numerous times for other addons such as Liverpool to Manchester, the Class 159, South Wales Coastal and many more.Truth hurts, doesn't it? The ratings for this review contains so much salt that I'm richer than a medieval monarch.. do not even start lets start with the pros because its easyerpros:ugh the passenger view is incorportaed to try to cover up all the negateves cons were do i start 1. the lights dont even work!! so you gonna have to drive without lights or the back lights which is crazy 2. the sound is terrible i cant get over the sound for 12 pounds you get this f...ing thing its so bad3.lookes terrible seriously this is ither a dekade old or they just dont care about your wallet (money) 4 nothing workes in the cab not even the lightts or the signal or anything else5. the horn the horn ugh it is so bad its just shocking6. just DO NOT GET THIS DLC i know some dlc is hit and miss but this is just plain miss refund anyone who gets this pile of s..t. The sounds are utterly discraseful RECYCLED FROM THE KUJU 166!!!! You get four pretty boring liveries (NSPTE, Central, Reggie Rail, Northern) although you can get reskins to semi-fix this issue. If you want a good 158, get the NSE class 159 DLC and the AP Perkins and Cummins (when its out) packs.. these class 158 are a good unit but shame the master key dosent work as it dose on the 150 units. Unbranded and outdated liveries, sounds like 235 chimpanzees giving birth to 24 elephants each, but still my go-to train for unelectrified routes.. Not really a add-on I can give the usual high praise to this time.There's several liveries included making it useful for scenario creation including the same scheme used by the Class 158 included in the Settle-Carlise route, Headlights work but useless for night driving except for AI but there is a passenger view. It's now a "Classic" so the price has dropped to $8.99 but still not exactly worth it.As for the downsides. The sounds are horrible, no cab lights or instrument lights and no scenarios. Despite the "View manual" on the store page saying there is the manual that comes with the add-on once downloaded and that makes no mention of scenario's and a browse through the scenario builder on TS itself reveals nothing, accident or not this is VERY misleading.Worth grabbing in a sale and if you are a sprinter fan head on over to Armstrong Powerhouse to pick up the Class 158 sound pack for $4.99. The sound pack is old but certainly better than the default sounds a bonus scenario for the Glasgow-Endinbrugh route. 5\/10
