TL;DR - Get it if you don't mind a couple of small issues.
And now the full review:
This is good, in general. However it has some niggling problems which don't ruin the experience but they are problems nonetheless.
Pros -
Great exterior model
Detailed cab view
Comes with a variety of wagons
Looks as ugly as it does in real life
Was co-developed with Oovee (AFAIK)
Cons -
Sounds - the engine sounds OK (although a touch to bassy), random sounds seem to cut in and out occasionally, and the horn - oh, the horn.... The horn's end sounds match the wrong horn tone! So the low horn ends with a high pitch and vice versa
Limited functionality - this loco has a lot of systems which I would have liked to have seen integrated into this
Physics - they're just wrong
Overall: This is good-ish. I'm pretty happy I bought it however it needs some fixing. But, considering this was released over three years ago now, it's pretty darn good considering the quality of some other DLC that was put out around that time.

What one thinks of the design of this loco is a matter of taste. I personally like it very much, it looks quite badass. Technically, the sounds and visuals are still suprisingly good for a 3-year old DLC. The scenarios are good and enjoyable. On the other hand, apart from the two-tone horn, there aren't any notable features that you can enjoy in the cab. I would love to see a new version of the 70, updated with some new functions.
If I had to choose again, I would still buy this addon.

An excellent loco, well worth the price.
+Great sounds including properly looped two tone horn
+Plently of features, including well simulated loco information screen with working compresser speed, engine work, speed and power notch readouts, and more
+Comes with a few scenarios for WCML North, with plently more on the Workshop
+Physics seem decent, although the brakes do seem [i]quite[/i] strong
Very little negative to say here:
-Could point out that it is included in South Wales Coastal, but well worth buying here as well if you wish due to extra scenarios both in the pack and on the Workshop
All in all a brilliant loco - just buy it, you won't regret it!

A very well designed loco with excellent sound, a nicely detailed cab and solid features. The loco/air braking feels very well done - careful consideration needs to be made regarding their use, especially when going downhill. I have often found long distance engine braking to be more effective (which should be the case!).
The scenarios included on the WCML-North feel slightly strange. The Class 70 first hit UK rails at the end of the 2000's and yet the scenarios feature swallow liveried 43's & 86's (I guess they just used default locos already included on this route, so at least its accessible).
I've seen others complaining about the "General Electrical Goods" scenario, notably that the braking physics incur penalties. Such penalties are entirely fair enough and down to driver error - you need to use long distance engine, & not air-braking when going downhill, and you can still stop in time for red signals. There is however an error with this scenario whereby I incurred a 40 point deduction for going along a bend too quickly (81 rather than the Loco's MSP of 75 - fair enough), but I somehow ended up with only 835 points rather than 960.

Lately I've been trying to get more American DLC, but this one I couldn't resist! This is a fantastic model!
Its got a great paint job, that looks very prototypical! A great cab, which is above and beyond for DTG! The sounds are also GREAT, because they are produced by OOVEE! Also, this pack includes a set of TEA and MJA wagons, which you can enjoy with ANY engine!
All in all, this is a great model, and is a must-have, even if you don't usually buy British DLC!

A wonderful loco and at a good price. Ok so it isn't the most handsome loco but it gets the job done. Cab contols are very similar to what you'll find in American loco's and despite the multitude of buttons and switches not all of them are usable. Both loco and horn sounds are better than what usually pops up in most DLC's, even the horn is a two-tone so prepare to use that "B" key too folks. Acceleration can be sluggish but the pulling power is fantastic along with strong responsive brakes which need gentle application.
Best part is that not only do you get the Class 70 you also get a Class 47 in Green/Yellow scheme "Not freightliner" but to top it off you also get TWO sets of wagons to go with all this. These include the TEA and MJA wagons and 5 career/standard to keep you busy for hours.
So if your just building up your loco collection or a scenario maker then this DLC is perfect for you and quiet the bargin at $8.99.

This loco is essentially what Jeremy Clarkson would want to drive if Top Gear was about trains...
Class 70's are quite a common sight for me nowadays - I live not far from a Depot where at least two or three 70's in Colas Rail Livery will be stationed. But personally, the Freightliner livery as seen here suits them much better. And dear God what a loco...
The detailing is absurd, the sound effects (including two-tone horn!) are fantastic and this pack just comes with so much content for such a little price. You get the 70's themselves, Freightliner-liveried 47's (the ones with updated sound effects), Container Wagons, MJA Ballast Wagons, TEA Fuel Wagons, and a big bag of scenarios.
Some are for the default 70 on the WCML - the only complaint I have about this pack is these though. Despite having a 70 quite out of place amongst the Intercity HST's & 86's, they just feel a bit... too similar to me. Just drive from Glasgow to Carlisle/vice-versa - it's not very exciting... heck, I'm writing this Review while playing on of these - simple case of 'Once out of Glasgow, open throttle and sit back'. But you do get at least 7 or 8 Bonus Scenario's for the GWML & Hedborough North that involve the MJA & TEA Wagons, usually hauled by 37's or 47's. That's at least a Baker's Dozen of scenarios - enough to keep any rail enthusiast busy!
So overall, this comes highly recommended by me. Great loco, wonderful rolling stock, loads of scenarios & all for that price? I say you go and get it - no need to wait for a Sale, it's that brilliant after all.

Whilst the real life counterpart is certainly not going to win any trophies for its looks or style. The 3D version in this pack is absolutely superb in terms of the accuracy and the "feel" of the prototype. The cab of this locomotive is quite straightforward to navigate and there is no need to pan the camera around much or use the in-game HUD controls because everything such as the power lever, the brakes etc is all located right in front of you! The sounds seem quite appealing and although I have not heard a real Class 70 in the flesh powering up. The sounds here in the pack do have a very nice beefy note to them and being a fan of GE locomotives in general. I do like how this locomotives sounds and the two-tone horn is playable via the Space and the "B" keys in any combination that the user wishes just like the driver can in the real world which is another positive I like about this pack. This Class 70 add-on comes with a generous amount of wagons which are perfect if you are into making your own scenarios for Train Simulator. They are a Class 47, TEA 100-tonne tankers, The MJA hopper wagons and some Intermodal container wagons which is more than enough to get you started with making your own consists in a scenario project.
Overall Rating 10/10.

Once again another top notch add-on. However I feel it has only received such a possitive feedback because of the sounds which of note were recorded and produced by Oovee, not RSC. The cab is above my expectations for some of RSC's recent models, making it a pleasure to drive. If you like playing with the horn then I'm sure you'll get carried away with this one, I don't normally toot the horn all the time but this one sounds so prototypical that even I can't resist!
