The British Railways Standard Class 4 is a class of steam locomotive built during the 1950s primarily for mixed traffic use on secondary routes. The 4-6-0 locomotive, designed by R.A. Riddles, was essentially a tender version of the Standard 4 2-6-4T, with similar characteristics to the GWR Manor Class, but built to the universal loading gauge. A total of 80 locomotives were built at the BR Swindon Works between May 1951 and May 1957. The class was initially allocated to the London Midland Region and the Western Region; the last 15 were allocated to the Southern Region, albeit with BR1B tenders. Withdrawals of the Class began in October 1964 and all had ceased mainline operation by August 1968. Six locomotives have survived into preservation, with two in operation on preserved railways in the UK. 7aa9394dea Title: BR Standard Class 4MT Loco Add-OnGenre: SimulationDeveloper:Dovetail GamesPublisher:Dovetail GamesFranchise:Train SimulatorRelease Date: 28 Jan, 2015 BR Standard Class 4MT Loco Add-On Download Setup For Pc this is a great locomotive great for the SDJR route. Really like the loco superb moddeling definitely worth the money but has no whistle??!!. For a budget loco this is good. The shape and texture modelling is good, the cab positions are good and you can see down the track from inside. I've not heard a real BR 4MT, but at least this model sounds different from other DTG steamers with quite a harsh 'bark' that varies with speed and regulator setting.It's not without it's faults - the water level doesn't display in the sight glasses and it seems a bit free steaming to me, but I enjoy driving it and as a medium power mixed traffic loco it's very versatile in scenarios. It's not a glamorous 'uber' loco, but that's part of its charm.. Poor Very Poor.. You can improve it with the SSS sound pack but the model is badly done and hasnt been fixed..It also suffers from that problem some early models have where the gamma level is wrong so your basically looking at a undetailed black shape in most light sources..Get the DT version. I REALLY regret buying this. The sounds are awful (as per usual), and the whistle sounds like it was literally taken out of a low quality YouTube video! The only thing good about this is the model. This is also one of the hardest locos to drive, not because it's steam, but because it was so poorly made. Don't waste your money. It's cheap, you get what you pay for, but you may as well save it for a few ice creams.. I do recommend this loco it is smooth running and sounds and goes well. It is a medium powered loco.. Its a decent buy and i would recomend it to anyone but it is a very nice train. Despite it being only two years old it's due for some much needed tune ups. The whistle is not the best but could be much worse but the sounds of the loco are aweful and once a certain speed is reached it sounds like a completely second sound source is used to cover the first making the loco look like a rush job.The 4MT comes in a black BR scheme and looks a bit scruffy which would look right at home as tidiness would've fell away by the time the 4MT was around. Since this pack comes from the TS marketplace all you get is the loco and tender so no scenarios, coaches or wagons and like some marketplace items no manual either. It comes equipped with AWS so you no longer have to fear those yellows or reds and the headlamps can be swapped by holding CTRL and making you're way through the 1, 2, 3 key and etc.Now since the regulator goes to 100% instead of the usual 75% I did a test run to compare speeds and regulator settingsRegulator: Speed:100% 0-11mph90% 11-13mph80% 13-16mph70% 16-20mph60% 20-26mph50% 26-34mph40% 34-46mph30% 46-62mph20% 62-84mphThis is just a rough guide and was tested on level track and no coaches\/wagons so results will differ with load and gradient.Overall it's a nice loco and will do nicely for those wanting to add more to their scenarios even as background Ai. There is a sound pack from Steam Sounds Supreme for the 4MT but the site states it only works for the Just Trains version of the 4MT but who knows it might change one day.
