Comprar Train Simulator: BR Robinson Class O4 Loco Add-On PC

Drive the Robinson O4 steam locomotive, a trusty British workhorse from the steam era, in Train Simulator on PC. This 2-8-0 design traces back to the Great Central Railway's 8K class, refined by John G. Robinson with a super-heated boiler, bigger cylinders, and a front pony truck for heavy freight hauls. Highly detailed with authentic sounds, controls like cylinder cocks that release steam clouds, and British Railways black livery bearing the lion-and-wheel emblem. Four dedicated scenarios unfold on the Woodhead Line, plus Quick Drive option for flexible runs. Haul freight loads as these engines did through wartime service in the Middle East and UK duties until 1966. Train simulation fans who prize historical accuracy and hands-on locomotive operation will find a solid match here.

The Robinson O4 is a workhorse from the days of British steam, and you can now drive this faithful old ‘kettle’ in Train Simulator, with scenarios specially created for the Woodhead Line.

The O4 has its origins in the Great Central Railway Class 8K 2-8-0 steam locomotive, of which the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) acquired more than 300 examples under the grouping process between 1923 and 1927. Using the 8K as a basis, John G. Robinson developed the O4 utilising a super-heated boiler and larger cylinders and valve gear, then adding a front pony truck to carry the extra weight. Used for hauling heavy freight trains, the O4s proved their capabilities and 92 were requisitioned for war work in the Middle East in 1941, with many more 300 remaining in service in the UK until final withdrawal of the class in 1966.

The O4 for Train Simulator is highly-detailed with realistic sounds and controls including operating cylinder cocks – just watch out for the clouds of steam!
