LNER V2 Advanced

Description

The V2 locomotive was derived from the Class A1/A3 Pacifics and was fitted with a shorter boiler and smaller diameter driving wheels than the A1s/A3s but still employed the three-cylinder monobloc arrangement. The V2 was used in many tasks, from hauling freight to express passenger services, but was no lightweight and thus was restricted for use on some lines. The locomotive was arguably one of Sir Nigel Gresley’s last great legacies before his untimely death in 1941. At one time 186 strong in number, they are considered by many to have been one of his most successful classes, thanks to their exploits both substituting for Gresley Pacific classes on express passenger trains and revolutionising the fast-fitted freight.

This Just Trains LNER V2 Advanced add-on comes with three driving options (Advanced, Intermediate and Simple), optional ActivHints help system and ActivFireman, a sound set created from a recording of Green Arrow storming the North Yorkshire Moors Railway and, of course, all the features you have come to expect from The Just Trains Advanced range, such as a fully modelled 3D firebox interior, wheelslip, advanced and photorealistic smoke and steam effects, stunningly detailed models and a variety of realistic liveries.

For the first time in a Just Trains product, the original British Rail ATC (Automatic Train Control) system is simulated on the British Railways liveries.

Also included are Just Trains Mk. 1 coaches in several liveries, now with updated brand new steam heat scripting, and the excellent MatrixTrains Teak coaches . The LNER V2 Advanced is Quick Drive enabled and comes with 14 Standard Scenarios that offer around 19 hours of driving time!

Preservation collection

4771 Green Arrow has worn two former LNER and BR liveries in her preservation career. So we offer you three versions! Here at Just Trains we’re so dedicated to detail that we decided the small differences between the loco when she was painted LNER green in the 1970s and 1980s and when she returned to LNER green as she is currently warranted separate models packed with those separate details.

• LNER Doncaster Green No. 4771 (and tender)

• LNER Doncaster  Green 2000s (and tender)

Coaches

MatrixTrains LNER Gresley Teak coaches - These exquisite models include a beautiful passenger view, updated textures, updated simulation, updated audio and the Just Trains steam heating effects. The LNER Gresley Teaks are in LNER Varnished Teak in three states of cleanliness, and BR Crimson & Cream and BR Maroon liveries with intermediate weathering.

There are different sets of varnished teak coaches, with each set showing different states of wear and tear, different wood grain patterns and colours, different coloured frames and wheels etc. Mix and match as many coaches from the original MatrixTrains pack and the three Just Trains Editions to create highly authentic and diverse teak trains.

Just Trains Mk.1 coaches- These are complete with passenger view, a unique leaking steam effect from the coach heating system and connecting vacuum hose pipes and steam heat pipes. The steam heating can be turned on and off from the locomotive footplate control. The coaches include brand new steam heat scripting with advanced random leakage and pressure propagation effects – you can see the steam slowly travelling from the locomotive end of the train to the other end! The textures have been significantly enhanced, with more realistic shading and colouring, and the sounds have also been improved.

The LNER V2 Advanced package sports the biggest collection of Just Trains Mk.1 coaches yet, with liveries including BR Maroon, BR Crimson & Cream, BR Chocolate & Cream, BR Corporate Blue & Grey, WCR Red, West Highland Line Tourist Apple & Cream, Kyle Line Tourist Apple & Cream, and introducing the all new Intercity Executive livery.
