About This Content The Southern Pacific Cab Forward is a classic oil-burner from the glory days of US Steam, and now you can drive this distinctive heavyweight over the Donner Pass in Train Simulator. The Donner Pass route became ever more important as California’s economy grew, and the Southern Pacific Railroad soon found that more power was needed to haul increasingly heavy trains through the Sierra Nevada. 2-8-8-2 Mallet locomotives answered the call, but the route’s many long tunnels and snow sheds caused new problems: locomotive cabs were filling with fumes from the smokestack while inside the tunnels, so the solution was to build a locomotive with the cab at the front – the ‘Cab Forward’. It may sound simple, but the design required a number of complex technical solutions: the oil-fired firebox was mounted at the leading end of the boiler, so it was supplied with oil via low-pressure pipework running all the way from the rear tender. The Cab Forward for Train Simulator represents the (Articulated Consolidation) AC-10, AC-11 and AC-12 types. It includes both clean and weathered variants, accurate in-cab controls with realistic sounds, and five scenarios for the Donner Pass .Scenarios5 scenarios for the Donner Pass:The Cab Forward.Pacific Fruit ExpressSlippery Slope Stuck in the Snow The Last RunMore scenarios are available on Steam Workshop online and in-game.

Not the ideas, just the implementation. Might be enjoyable in quick drive and more leisurely workshop scenarios.CF2 can not be completed in time.CF3 randomly takes away control instead of actually simulating slippery track. (Pencil + paper.)CF4 just needs some practice. Nice to play with the brakes. The headlights work very well.CF5 is interesting and well done.I cannot decide whether it should be a Yes or No, but as it offers similar amount of enjoyable content to some other scenarios, it's 51% yes ;-). Great detailed locomotive! I love the prototype, and this dose a great job recreating the looks. However the sounds are kinda a letdown. I don't think their that bad though. 8.5\/10. I think it's an interesting and great looking engine with decent strength, but man some of the sounds are just awful; like jesus, one of them sounds like a gun shot from a cartoon, and it was the first thing I heard when I loaded in the game; I thought someone was shooting me.I do NOT recommend this Add-On at full price.. theres a last southern pacific cab forward no.4294 in sacramento. Many lovers of trains may have a favorite steam locomotive. Its type may depend on its whistle, power, etc. My favorite is the Cab Forward. It's a unique, hulking locomotive that screams American innovation and problem-solving. It's sad to see that there is only one that still remains, but it's better than there being none left. I hope to see 4294 restored.So how well is the locomotive recreated in Train Simulator? It gets a pass, but it's not perfect content. The model for the locomotive is done very well, don't get me wrong. It's the sounds that I don't favor that much about the DLC. The sounds do sound good, but it's not what you would expect from such a large locomotive. Possibly, the developers tried their best to replicate the locomotive's sounds, and for that I thank them. You should still get this locomotive despite its sounds, especially if you already own the Donner Pass route.And what else can I say? The PFE cars for the loco are well done, the scenarios are enjoyable (though I don't play the career versions, I play the standard), and you can make a pretty cool looking freight consist if you have the GS-4 in front (assuming if you already own it). So yeah, get this!. Cool model but really slow and gutless.It has a lot of cool features , windows open and even has a roof hatch and a cabin light, you can even sit in the caboose, The sounds it makes are the worst.I always liked the sounds that a steam engine makes but not this one.After about 5 or ten minutes of it I'am ready to shoot myself.I'am glad I didn't pat full price and even at 40% off it was to much money.I with I could get my money back Base on that I can't recomend this engine.
