The record-breaking streamlined Class A4 Pacifics were the flagships of prestigious high-speed steam travel in the UK, and the six surviving ‘Streaks’ are now available for Train Simulator in one special Gathering.

During a visit to Germany in 1933, Sir Nigel Gresley was taken by the high-speed streamlined ‘Flying Hamburger’ diesel train, a concept the London & North Eastern Railway had considered for its East Coast Main Line route. However, Gresley believed that steam power could do an equally impressive job and tested the theory with Class A3 ‘Papyrus’. Gresley’s tests were such a success that LNER granted permission to design more streamlined locomotives.

The Class A4s were designed for prestigious high-speed passenger services, running from London Kings Cross to Edinburgh, Scotland via York and Newcastle. Both internal and external streamlining improved coal and water usage, and a Kylchap double chimney was proven to improve efficiency, making the Class A4s a much admired model with their distinctive flowing aerodynamic profile.

A total of 35 ‘Streaks’ were produced at LNER’s Doncaster Works between 1935 and 1938 and were capable of a 90mph (140km/h) top speed in regular service. However, the Class A4s were record breakers from the outset - Silver Fox attained 113mph (182km/h) in August 1936, making it the highest recorded speed of a regular passenger train at the time.

The most famous of days for the Class A4s was on 3rd July 1938. Pulling six coaches and a dynamometer car, Mallard reached 126mph (202.8km/h) at Stoke Bank, breaking the world speed record for steam locomotives of 124.5mph (200.4km/h) previously held by a German DBG Class 05. The record still stands today, making 2013 the 75th anniversary of this record breaking occasion. 

To mark the occasion, the UK’s National Railway Museum (NRM) is bringing all six surviving Class A4s together in one location. With the ‘Streaks’ fully withdrawn from mainline service by 1966, six were preserved – Mallard, Sir Nigel Gresley, Bittern, Union of South Africa, Dominion of Canada and Dwight D Eisenhower. The latter two locomotives were moved to North America shortly after being withdrawn from service with the other four locomotives maintained on preserved railways or in museums.

The NRM’s Great Gathering assembled all six remaining Class A4s reunited and on display to the general public for a limited time, and the Class A4 Pacifics for Train Simulator recreates this unique gathering and the locomotives in the liveries they will be displayed in. They feature with and without their famous aerodynamic side fairings and a special Speed Test scenario between two fixed points on the London to Brighton route, giving you the opportunity to attempt Mallard’s record breaking speed.

The Class A4 Pacifics are also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive the locomotives on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train Simulator, such as those available through Steam.

Les modèles Pacific Class A4, véritables machines aérodynamiques conçues pour battre tous les records, étaient les fleurons du transport à vapeur à grande vitesse au Royaume-Uni, et les six «Streaks», comme on les surnomme affectueusement, sont maintenant disponibles sur Train Simulator dans un Groupement spécial.

Lors d'une visite en Allemagne en 1933, Sir Nigel Gresley a été littéralement séduit par les trains diesel aérodynamiques à grande vitesse qu'on appelait alors «les hamburgers volants», machines que la London & North Eastern Railway a par la suite souhaité mettre en place pour sa ligne East Coast Main Line. Cependant, Sir Gresley pensait qu'avec la vapeur, obtenir des performances aussi impressionnantes était impossible. Il a donc voulu testé «la théorie» sur la Class A3 «Papyrus». Les essais de Gresley ont été couronnés d'un tel succès que la LNER lui a donné immédiatement le feu vert pour concevoir d'autres locomotives aérodynamiques.

Les modèles A4 ont été conçus pour le transport de passagers à grande vitesse, de London Kings Cross à Édimbourg, en Écosse, via York et Newcastle. L'aérodynamisme intérieur et extérieur permettait une utilisation optimale du charbon et de l'eau, et un système de double cheminées Kylchap améliorait encore l'efficacité, ce qui faisait de la Class A4 un modèle très admiré avec son profil lissé très particulier.

Au total, 35 «Streaks» ont été produites dans les ateliers de la LNER à Doncaster entre 1935 et 1938 et étaient capables d'atteindre une vitesse maximale de 90 mph (140 km/h) en service régulier. Les A4 étaient des machines conçues pour battre tous les records dès le départ: Silver Fox a atteint 113 mph (182 km/h) en août 1936, soit la plus grande vitesse enregistrée pour un train de voyageurs régulier à l'époque.

Le véritable jour de gloire pour la Class A4 fut sans nul doute le 3 juillet 1938. En tirant six voitures et un wagon dynamomètre, Mallard est parvenu à atteindre les 126 mph (202,8 km/h) à Stoke Bank, battant ainsi l'ancien record du monde de vitesse des locomotives à vapeur de 124,5 mph (200,4 km/h) jusque là détenu par la Class 05 allemande de la DRG. Ce record est encore invaincu aujourd'hui, et l'année 2013 marqua le 75e anniversaire de cette remarquable prouesse. 

Pour marquer l'occasion, le Musée du Chemin de Fer National du Royaume-Uni (le National Railway Museum) a réuni les six A4 encore en état aujourd'hui. Les «Streaks» ont été intégralement retirées du service principal en 1966, et six d'entre elles ont été conservées - Mallard, Sir Nigel Gresley, Bittern, Union of South Africa, Dominion of Canada et Dwight D Eisenhower. Les deux dernières locomotives ont été transférées en Amérique du Nord peu après avoir été retirées du service et les quatre autres locomotives ont été conservées sur des chemins de fer dédiés ou dans des musées.

Le Grand Groupement de la NRM a permis de réunir les six Class A4 encore en état aujourd'hui. Elles ont été exposées au grand public pendant une courte période, et les modèles A4 Pacific présents dans Train Simulator veulent en quelques sortes recréer ce rassemblement unique. Ces modèles sont présentés avec et sans leurs célèbres carénages latéraux aérodynamiques et un scénario spécial de test de vitesse entre deux points fixes sur la ligne London - Brighton vous donnera l'occasion de tenter d'égaler le record de vitesse de Mallard.

La Class A4 Pacific est également disponible en mode Quick Drive, vous donnant ainsi la liberté de conduire ces merveilleuses locomotives sur tous les itinéraires Quick Drive de Train Simulator, tels que ceux disponibles via Steam.

Die rekordverdächtigen, stromlinienförmigen Class A4 Pacifics waren die Anführer des angesehenen Hochgeschwindigkeits-Dampfservices in dem Vereinigte Königreich und sechs überlebende 'Serien' sind jetzt für Train Simulator erhältlich.

Während eines Besuchs in Deutschland im Jahre 1933, fuhr Sir Nigel Gresley mit dem stromlinienförmigen "Fliegender Hamburger" Hochgeschwindigkeit-Dieselzug, welchen die London & North Eastern Railway für ihre East Coast Main Line Strecke betrachtet hatten. Allerdings glaubte Gresley, dass Dampfkraft eine ebenso beeindruckende Arbeit leisten kann und testete seine Theorie mit Hilfe der Class A3 'Papyrus'. Gresley’s Testergebnisse waren ein voller Erfolg und LNER gab die Erlaubnis mehr stromlinienförmige Lokomotiven zu entwerfen.

Die Class A4s, die von London Kings Cross nach Edinburgh, Schottland über York und Newcastle fuhren, wurden für repräsentative Hochgeschwindigkeitsdienste konzipiert. Sowohl die interne, als auch externe Stromlinienverkleidung verbesserte den Kohle-und Wasserverbrauch und ein Kylchap Doppelschornstein verbesserte die Effizienz, sodass die Class A4s mit seinem unverwechselbaren, fließenden, aerodynamischen Profil ein vielbewundertes Modell waren.

Die berühmteste Zeit der Class A4s war am 3. Juli 1938. Die Mallard, die sechs Wagen und einen Dynamometerwagen transportierte, erreichte 126 Stundenmeilen (202.8km / h) bei Stoke Bank und brach den Geschwindigkeits-Weltrekord für Dampflokomotiven von 124.5 Stundenmeilen (200.4km/h), der zuvor von einer deutschen DBG Class 05 gehalten wurde. Der Rekord steht heute noch und im Jahr 2013 findet der 75. Jahrestag dieses rekordverdächtigen Ereignisses statt.

Zu diesem Anlass bringt das National Railway Museum (NRM) von Großbritanien alle sechs verbliebenen Class A4s an einem Ort zusammen. Nachdem die 'Serien' der A4’s bei 1966 vollkommen aus dem Betrieb genommen wurden, blieben nur sechs erhalten - Mallard, Sir Nigel Gresley, Bittern, Union of South Africa, Dominion of Canada und Dwight D Eisenhower. Die letzteren beiden Lokomotiven wurden nach Nordamerika transferiert, kurz nachdem diese aus dem Verkehr gezogen wurden, und die anderen vier Lokomotiven verblieben auf gut erhaltenen Eisenbahnen oder in Museen.

Bei der großen NRM’s Versammlung im Juli 2013 werden alle sechs verbliebenen Class A4s vereint und für eine begrenzte Zeit in der Öffentlichkeit stehen. Die Class A4 Pacifics für Train Simulator bilden diese einzigartige Versammlung und die Lokomotiven in ihren Lackierungen nach. Die Class A4’s erscheinen mit und ohne ihren berühmten, aerodynamischen Seitenverkleidungen und einem speziellen Geschwindigkeitstest-Szenario zwischen zwei Standorten auf der London to Brighton Strecke, um Ihnen die Möglichkeit zu geben, “Mallard –Rekordverdächtige- Geschwindigkeiten” zu erzeugen.

Die Class A4 Pacifics sind außerdem Quick Drive kompatibel, sodass Sie diese auf jeder quick drive aktivierten Strecke für Train Simulator, wie zum Beispiel die Strecken auf Steam, fahren können.
