Train Simulator: LNER Raven Q6 Steam Loco Add-On PC

Take command of Sir Vincent Raven's LNER Q6 steam locomotives on the Weardale & Teesdale Network, the first public route featuring steam power in Train Simulator. These freight-hauling machines demand skill through complex operations like wheelslip management, steam chest simulation, vacuum braking, cylinder cocks, boiler priming, injector control, and shovel-by-shovel stoking with synced audio. Toggle advanced mode for heightened realism, and customize with optional fittings such as steam heat dials, external vacuum pipes, piston caps, and warning labels across multiple liveries from NER to preserved BR eras. Seven included scenarios challenge you with tasks like supplying power, water runs, icy hauls in Penrith, and Wearhead goods services, plus AI traffic and rolling stock like hoppers and plank wagons. Steam Workshop adds free scenarios daily for extended play. This simulation suits dedicated rail enthusiasts who master intricate locomotive controls and historical freight duties.

Brace yourself for a real challenge as Victory Works bring Sir Vincent Raven’s powerful fleet of LNER Q6s to life on the Weardale & Teesdale Network – the first public route to use steam locomotives! You’ll be taking control of a locomotive that was specially designed for freight-pulling power and testing yourself against every difficulty the Pro Range label can throw at you.

The operational characteristics of the LNER Q6 are complex and the simulation captures them as such. Advanced mode can be toggled depending on how you wish to experience the LNER Q6 – when enabled you can look forward to; realistic wheelslip, simulated steam chest, realistic train pipe and reservoir vacuum braking, cylinder cock management, boiler management with priming possible, realistic injector control and realistic “by the shovel” stoking with synchronised sound.

Being such a successful class the Q6s were rarely modified substantially, however they did have unique details such as steam heat dials, external vacuum brake pipes, piston caps, and overhead warning labels. We’ve lovingly recreated these optional fittings meaning you can decide how you wish to represent a particular member of the class!

These incredible trains were in service for more than 50 years but the only way to experience their majesty in the modern world is here on Train Sim! Try this epic chapter in traction history today and make their story your own!
