Train Simulator: GEML Class 90 Loco Add-On DLC
A mainstay of BR’s locomotive fleet in the 1990s, the Class 90 was a replacement to BR’s ageing fleet of electric locomotives, and is now available for Train Simulator in two liveries that are ideal for the Great Eastern Main Line London-Ipswich route.

The GEML is a very exciting rail line to run on. There are so many branch lines to explore and tons of main line running at high speed. I wish they could extend it to Norwich like the original route. I would pay a little more for that. Overall its a great route, and tons of scenarios are avalable for it. The Class 90's are full of detail, and the Advanced controls are just that, advanced, and they actually require sequences to activate, just like the real thing. That along is worth getting. Get the route on sale, you wont be disappointed.

this product is basically an payware reskin of the AP version just on Steam for £12 which is insane with three scenarios included for GEML which are ok i cant recommend this to anyone because its being sold separately to the original class 90 from AP this is an ripoff and these should been included with the Original AP version

Nice DLC often overlooked for some reason. Good model and sound, some additional buttons to play but not overdone. Scenarios are a bit tiresome but quite entertaining (though unnecessarily hard at some places). The whole concept of fast travel helps to look at GEML route from another point of view.
You will drive the train with the class 90 loco itself in the front (Ipswich-London direction) or with the oppposite end MK3 DVT non-motorised car (London-Ipswich direction). The amount of scenarios is actually two times bigger as you have each of them in ADV and HUD versions with either more complicated or more friendly controls.
Both liveries are accurate but unbranded wich is a shame but that's how our world is made and of course it's somehow bad for Greater Anglia if a bunch of nerds drive their nerdy toy trains on their nerdy toy tracks in their nerdy railroad game. Also I kinda wish we had some freight scenarios as class 90 was often used for such a purpose at the end of its career (and probably still used).
Verdict: interesting train, well made and with some nice scenarios too. Could be better but still is quite good.

Really great product. Make sure to read the sizeable manual in your common/Railworks/Manuals folder, as this is an armstrong powerhouse product.
- turns out switching cabs sometimes enables DRA and brakes -in that cab- so if you change cabs (say you forgot to switch on tail lights on the other end) then you must check brakes and DRA are OFF in all cabs on your way back to the front.
Having so much fun with this product, superb!

Of all the stock I have in TS, the AP Class 90s/DVTs (both their own full version and this pack) are by far my favourites to drive.
It'll take a few goes to remember the start-up routine on the advanced models, but they are well worth the effort of learning. You'll become a lot more involved in the operation of the train, rather than just opening the throttle and occasionally waving the brake lever around. If that sounds too involved though, then remember that you get automatic speed control, to avoid constant overspeed penalties.
Very much recommended by me.

This Class 90 is a Steam Special of the Armstrong Powerhouse Class 90. I picked the GEML Class 90 for free when I bought the GEML in a sale last year, but if you are interested in buying the Class 90 here, I recommend looking at the Armstrong Powerhouse website as well. They originally developed the Class 90 seen here, and the one here is a slightly less complex version. For an extra $5, I'd recommend the Armstrong Powerhouse. You might not get the scenerios or achievments that this one provides, but you get more bang for your buck. Still though, this is not DTG developed train, so it is much more refined, and includes more features.

Great loco, with plenty of in-cab things to do. Also has a full start up procedure, which can be fun, as you have to set up both ends of the train before driving away. No passenger view from the train, which is a shame.
*Be aware that the scenario's are very heavy on cpu usage due to the amount of AI traffic included in the scenario's, people are reporting the level not working etc, make sure you have HD Space to be able to run this, and have a decent graphics card installed*
The levels themselves are great fun, a lot of rush hour traffic, showing how hard this section of line works during a working week.
Train is also great on QD on other lines.
Is it value for money? Yes, if your computer can handle the load.

AP Deserves my money. I love how almost everything on the loco works, and the fact that the DVT is the same even makes it better.

The class 90 has since moving out from GEML realms, become quite the common or garden engine because of its versatility in everything from freight, mail and even sleeper trains.
Based on the older class 86/87's, it was a close run thing that this ended up with gradual controls rather than having the tap type controls of its parentage, complete with a very good speed set control, normal and advanced modes of startup, realistic DSD add to the flavour of driving this smooth engine and with additional freeware livery packs available out there makes this a very good loco for your collection.

Ok
There is just something about this loco that makes me not wanna stop using it. I have completed all the scenarios that came with it and yet I want more. Here's what makes it probably my new favourite DLC in train sim
PROS
It was made by AP and Waggonz, which is a match made in heaven.
Horn is 2 tone and is a lot of fun to mess around with
The advanced version is easy to control.
ADV version is cool with alarms going off and such keeping the driver entertained
Very photogenic
CONS
Liveries are outdated.
This is my new favourite train in train sim and we are all hoping for some more AP/Waggonz stuff soon.
