The class lights and engine room lights work, the sounds are perfect, it takes the iconic sharknose and brings it to train simulator very well.

While I do like this DLC I did expect the scenarios to be longer and little bit more challenging. The engines thereself are well done, and the detail is good. If the the scenarios had something more like on the mainline than just 3 swtiching scenarios i would give this a thumbs up. $20 for just over an hour of gameplay on all the scenarios is a bit much to me.

These locomotives can really pull! I created a consist of 59 freight cars! However, the start of the horn is a little funny. And when the train is about to pass you, the horn doesn't sound as loud.

I don't want to give this any bad ratings because it looks awesome and by that I mean it's just the only problem is that it won't show up in my game and I've posted in the threads about it. But not that anyone else should have this problem it's just on my computer but other than that from what I looked up and watched on game plays it looks amazing awesome job to the creator of this! 😀🚂

The loco is rather weak and underpowered sometimes stalling on a hill under its own weight

On sale, yes. Grab it, its a cool oddball. Full price? No. Its decently well modeled, and the included freight fits in well and adds lots of variety to the typical HSC stuff. The sounds are the letdown here. Horn loop sucks. The engine noise itself drowns out the bell almost completely for me. Its alright, but a sound upgrade would really set this pack up well.

This exceeded my expectations. Beautiful locomotive. Only complaint (and I mean the ONLY complaint) is the horn isn't as loud as I had expected... if I remember correctly though, that's true of the real ones as well. As I said, beautiful locomotive, glad I got it. Horn sounds nice, engines sound nice, everything is nice on this thing; correction, not nice, everything is great on this. I can even see into the engine room from the cab. All windows open, cab doors open (as stated), and the interior is clean and well-made. Worth more than only ~$20.

While the models themselves are really good looking (especially the caboose), I think the sounds and the scenarios really let this one down. The problem with the sounds is that they are very low quality and often do not work properly. It feels like most of the times when I touch the throttle, use the horn, or pass another train the locomotives become completely silent. It's as if it has difficulty handling more than one sound effect at a time. As for the scenarios, they aren't particularly bad but there are only three of them and they are all short (30 minutes and under). I was able to finish everything this DLC has to offer in a little over an hour. All three scenarios are shunting. If you want some mainline action, you need to either get workshop scenarios or invest in the Horseshoe Curve Scenario pack which includes two more career scenarios for this locomotive. I would only recommend buying this DLC if you are a huge fan of this locomotive or a huge fan of the Pennsy (as am I). On sale, it's not a particularly bad price if you consider that the rolling stock included is very nice and is used in several workshop scenarios. There is certainly worse DLC than this that costs much more money.

The model is great and the sounds are cool. But the sounds are a bit of a problem. When you turn the bell on, the engine sound cuts out after a few seconds. When you turn the bell off, it's completely silent until you enter and exit Cab view, then the engine sounds will cut back in. Also, the horn doesn't work while you're moving or while the engine sounds are playing and the one way you will hear the horn again under the engine sounds is if you are in Cab view. Even when you exit Cab view, you may only hear the horn sound in Cab view. I'm not sure if anyone else experiences the same problems, but this is what has been happening to me. Overall, it's really cool. It's only the sounds that are a bit of a problem.

I only got this for the old school Tanker car, but was suprised to see how amazing the loco is! Great sounds, Nice look, and it even has an internal engine room! 10/10 amazing!
