21st November 2011: The Train Simulator team have just released a video of the new LNER Class A2 'Blue Peter' loco train which will be released with the LNER Peppercorn Class A2 add-on on November 23. A smaller version of the loco can now be seen at the Train Simulator website for product testing with the rest of the train line up.
Train Simulator: LNER Class A4 'Black Prince' Loco is the sixth of the seven new locos to be released by Lister Train Simulations for Train Simulator 2010. They join the 30th anniversary locos released by Lister in the Lister Pack 7 on 15th November.
This is the loneliest express on British Rail! The 'Black Prince' is a long and lean passenger service operating between Birmingham and Leeds. Since December 2009, BR have been running a number of special diesel fleets on this route including the T4, T5 and the Class 43 diesel trains. The Class A4 is the largest and only true return to steam that is currently operated in the UK.
The loco can be purchased in both cab-forward and cab-overhood configurations; the latter can be attached to locos purchased with the add-on pack and features 6 class 60 loco stock.
At first glance, the Class A4 appears to be quite similar to the many other modern diesel multiple units in operation today. However, it is comprised of many unique features, such as the cab-overhood design, which encloses the loco's driving cab and can be removed to access the loco's passenger compartments. The vehicles also feature air-conditioning, heating, and lighting systems.
The loco is to be released at the start of November and will be sold individually, with the add-on pack coming free with the purchase of the loco for the first time ever on DVD on November 15th.

History
The North Eastern Region of England, known as the Eastern Region of England until 1983, is one of the four Regions of Great Britain. A key transport route through the region connects it to the Pennines and the North Sea coast. The high-speed, through-rail line from York to Darlington was constructed to take advantage of this and to take pressure off the East Coast Main Line. It was designed and built by William Hesley, a Locomotive Engineer who was a graduate of the LNER, and Robert A. Stephenson, Chief Mechanical Engineer of the LNER. Construction was originally started in 1897 but had to be suspended as the LNER lacked the funds to continue. Work was resumed in May 1916 and completed in January 1918. The line was built using the worst of the then LNER construction standards with large bore tunnel sections, poor quality rails and a standard axle weight of 8 tonnes. As a consequence of poor construction and a large number of excess axle-weights, the engine heads began to catch fire and to snap off. This caused massive delays which only worsened with the construction of the line. Despite this, the line made a profit and attracted numerous heavy-goods traffic and was a great improvement on the adjacent East Coast Main Line which was plagued by frequent engine breakdowns. In July 1943 an engine (the first of 5, called Blue Peter after the ship that carried the posthorn) was moved into No.2 Yard to be restored and the restoration was carried out. However, it was badly damaged in 1944 during a fire, but was once again restored after the war. During the early 1960s three steam locos were converted to diesel power; mainly for running test and demonstration
