About This Content The Robinson O4 is a workhorse from the days of British steam, and you can now drive this faithful old ‘kettle’ in Train Simulator, with scenarios specially created for the Woodhead Line. The O4 has its origins in the Great Central Railway Class 8K 2-8-0 steam locomotive, of which the London and North Eastern Railway (LNER) acquired more than 300 examples under the grouping process between 1923 and 1927. Using the 8K as a basis, John G. Robinson developed the O4 utilising a super-heated boiler and larger cylinders and valve gear, then adding a front pony truck to carry the extra weight. Used for hauling heavy freight trains, the O4s proved their capabilities and 92 were requisitioned for war work in the Middle East in 1941, with many more 300 remaining in service in the UK until final withdrawal of the class in 1966. The O4 for Train Simulator is highly-detailed with realistic sounds and controls including operating cylinder cocks – just watch out for the clouds of steam!Key FeaturesRobinson O4 steam locomotive in British Railways black livery with lion-and-wheel emblem4 scenarios for the Woodhead LineQuick Drive compatibleCheck out additional Robinson O4 routes on the Steam Workshop! 7aa9394dea Title: Train Simulator: BR Robinson Class O4 Loco Add-OnGenre: SimulationDeveloper:Dovetail GamesPublisher:Dovetail Games - TrainsFranchise:Train SimulatorRelease Date: 19 Oct, 2012 Train Simulator: BR Robinson Class O4 Loco Add-On Download Requirements Very nice to drive, can get it up to 55 easily with a long freight. Reccomended.. Ordinary loco, nothing special. Not near as nice looking or fun to drive as a lot of other steam locos in the collection. Outdated model with little detail or featuresK4s, A4s, the Black 5s, all the JXs, Castles, FEF, Kings, GWRs, Panniers, etc., are all much better.I think the only reason I got this is that it's a dependency in a lot of workshop scenarios.. Great classic locomotive.It doesn't have cab light and advance functionality, but this locomotive is a great one for the Woodhead route and can also be used on the SDJR. Really fit nicely in and a powerful locomotive for its size.. It may be strong yes, but strong enough to pull a 41 car train including brakevan excluding tender up a 1:50\/2% gradient. No. This DLC is good. The sounds are amazing thanks to Steam Sounds Supreme and i found out there is a V2 in the pack hidden.. Of all the steam engines, this remains one of my overall favourites, its not super fast by any standard but able to pull at a reasonable speed, huge trains of coal and goods and is very easy to learn its ways and means to make it go.It feels very at home in the Woodhead area, is great fun and at the new classic price, well worth a go.. A lovely locomotive add-on for Train Simulator 2017. I wonder if the creators would be willing to do a new livery for the Robinson O4, as 13 of the ex-ROD WW1 locomotives came to Australia and worked on some of the New South Wales coal railways.. A really nice loco with an odd wheel configuration. The model is nice and runs well. Also, it comes with a great hidden loco that I'm glad I found!!. Old model, so not much detail, but looks OK, and nice to drive; pulls a huge load and apart from the whistle, the sounds are pleasing - a hefty chuff and puff.
