East Coast Magic By Jane-Rachel Whittaker (2 March 2006) It was with distinct mixed feelings that I installed 'East Coast Express Part 1 London to Peterborough'. This product, published by First Class Simulations and developed by EuropeanBahn has been eagerly awaited by many MSTS fans. The East Coast Main Line of the UK is close to the hearts of most rail enthusiasts in Britain, being steeped in history.

Msts West Coast Express Train

For myself the association with the East Coast Main Line is doubly poignant having spent a large portion of my life making the daily commute from London Kings Cross to Peterborough on the very tracks that have been modelled in addition to being an enthusiast with little hope of treatment or redemption. I was torn by the thrill of having this route that has shared a large portion of my life being realised in MSTS that was also tempered with an anxiety over a route with such personal significance as to whether the simulation would live up to the sentiment.

The most significant route expansion since the launch of RailWorks, West Coast Main Line North brings you well over 100 miles of highly-detailed railway line, with.

There was nothing for it but to jump in the cab of a Class 43 high speed train at London Kings Cross and make my way north to Peterborough. The Class 43 more commonly known as an 'Intercity 125' has been plying its trade along the East Coast Main Line from London to Edinburgh since the late 1970s. I had the dual fortune of both visiting Crewe Locomotive Works in Cheshire to see these locomotives on the production line in the year of their introduction and also the great privilege to be a passenger on the first Intercity 125 service from Edinburgh to London traversing this very same route into London. I admit to always being disappointed in previous representations of this iconic locomotive in MSTS, which have always seemed boxy and poorly represented. With limited expectations I was entirely bowled over by the quality of the modelling and had to immediately reappraise my views of the Intercity 125 within MSTS. The modelling within the package is simply staggering and is close to perfection both in the physical modelling and the texturing of power cars and coaching stock to the point where I often had to give myself a reality check that I was not looking at a video. I was starting to get excited like a child on a birthday and I had not left London Kings Cross.

The cab too is an excellent representation of the real powercar and having ridden in the cab many times out of Kings Cross it was with a sense of deja vu and growing anticipation that I gently eased the train away from the station into Gas Works Tunnel and accelerated through Alexandra Palace and northbound towards Peterborough. In many route expansions for MSTS I had been disappointed to see generic stations and trackside scenery as a poor substitute for their real-life equivalents. This simulation bucks that trend as many familiar landmarks and stations stretched out before me. Accelerating past the now disused engine sheds at Finsbury Park, where I had mis-spent a large portion of my youth in what was then a thriving locomotive depot and passing by Bounds Green depot, home to this high speed train, everything was there in exact detail. All the small commuter stations and larger mainline stations on the route have been built with accurate architecture to the smallest detail such as placement of overhead footbridges. As I sped north I was able to reflect on the historical significance of this route that had been the jewel in the crown of the London And North Eastern Railway (LNER) in the heyday of steam.

The LNER 'Flying Scotsman' included as a default locomotive within MSTS actually operated this route in service and was one of a fleet of 'A4 Pacifics', designed by Sir Nigel Gresley, that operated the Flying Scotsman service from London to Edinburgh.
