## Description
### Steam Store Description
The powerful and impressive BR DP1 Deltic evokes the UK’s glorious railway
heritage, and this attractive prototype diesel locomotive is now available for
Train Simulator.
The amalgamation of engine manufacturer Napier & Sons and locomotive builder
English Electric in 1942 opened up the potential to use the powerful Napier
Deltic diesel engine in mainline locomotives. In the mid-1950s, English
Electric produced a demonstration locomotive, officially numbered ‘DP1’, using
the Deltic engine, which was to be the forerunner of the well-known ‘Deltic’
class of locomotives.
The DP1 had a particular American feel, with its high sides and streamlined
styling, made more prominent by its sleek livery, long aluminium beading, high
cab windows and large nose headlight, fitted for effect rather than
practicality. Two 18 cylinder Deltic engines were fitted, giving 3,300
horsepower (2,500 kW) in total and a top speed of 90mph.
The DP1 was demonstrated and tested on the Settle-Carlisle line before
entering service as a main line locomotive alongside its sister Class 55
‘Deltics’, although these lacked DP1’s distinctive look. As a main line
locomotive, DP1 had a relatively short working life, being retired in March
1961 after a major engine failure, but easily serving its purpose to
demonstrate the Deltic’s power and prowess.
Two years later, in 1963, DP1 was donated to the Science Museum in London and
is now on display at the National Railway Museum’s Locomotion site in Shildon,
England.
The DP1 Deltic for Train Simulator is available in its distinctive blue
demonstrator/testing livery, featuring two-tone horn and cab lighting, plus BR
Mk1 maroon coaches as used on modern day rail tours, complete with passenger
view.
The locomotive is also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive
the BR DP1 Deltic on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train Simulator, such
as those available through Steam. Also included are scenarios specifically for
the Settle-Carlisle route route (available separately and required to play
these scenarios).
