The British Rail Class 143 is a diesel multiple unit, part of the Pacer family of trains introduced
between 1985 and 1986. They originally worked in the North-East of England but were later
transferred to Wales and South-West England. Based on a Walter Alexander bus body, the
'Nodding Donkey' was introduced to the rail network in the mid-1980s and is well known for
its unsophisticated bouncy ride and meagre seating, faithfully recreated in this model.
The Class 158 was introduced by British Rail in 1989 as part of the programme to replace
ageing heritage DMUs still in service. With an aluminium body, the DMU was dubbed the
'Express Sprinter' as it was designed to accelerate rapidly between stations, making it ideal for
stopping services where new tighter timetables could now be introduced. With a top speed of
90mph and comfortable interior furnishings, it was also intended to be capable of handling
longer services with ease.
The Arriva Trains Wales DMU Pack for Train Simulator contains both the Class 143 and Class
158 in Arriva Trains Wales livery and the bonus Class 158 in First Great Western Livery.

Isambard Kingdom Brunel was rapidly expanding the Great Western Railway out of London
Paddington. By June 1841, the line to Bristol had officially opened and set in stone was a
railway line that has proven vital to the west throughout the years. To extend the usage of this
revolutionary line, an extension was built out from Swindon and headed north towards
Gloucester, only to then turn tail, breach South Wales and head for Swansea via Caldicot,
Newport, Cardiff and Bridgend.
The new line to Swansea opened in 1850 and provided Wales with a much needed, albeit
quite lengthy connection with London and other major towns along the Great Western Main
Line such as Reading, Didcot, Swindon and Bristol. Until 1872, the railway was built utilising
Brunel's 7ft broad gauge, as was the entire GWR network. However, despite the potential
benefits of this larger gauge over standard gauge, the latter was already gaining momentum
as the primary choice for all railways and Swansea through to the west of England was rapidly
converted.
A breakthrough for the residents of South Wales occurred in 1886 when the 4 mile, 624 yard-
long Severn Tunnel finished completion after a difficult 13 year construction phase. The new
tunnel was the longest in the UK, a record it held for over a century, only being superseded by
the High Speed 1 tunnels surrounding Stratford in 2007. The tunnel allowed for a new route
into South Wales which would bypass the line via Gloucester, massively decreasing journey
times beyond no doubt. Following the opening of the new path under the Severn, the former
Gloucester route became known as the 'Great Way Round'.
The construction of the tunnel came with many struggles, thanks to a vast pool of water,
separate to the Severn River, workers who were cutting away under the terrain were faced
with multiple, and occasionally severe flooding. Having water pour into the bore of the tunnel
on a constant basis was naturally a concern, so pumps were installed to move water away
from the tunnel wall exterior in an effort to prevent major incidents.
Severn Tunnel Junction station opened as part of the new route, along with an extensive
marshalling yard which would be used to easily distribute Welsh coal to London and the
Midlands. Many of the heavy freight services in the steam era were not able to navigate the
Severn Tunnel without a pilot or banker locomotive, as the steep gradients could easily bring
a heavy service to a halt or cause almost uncontrollable acceleration. In the later years of
British Railways, ex. GWR 5101 Class locos were used for this purpose.
With routes running to Bristol, Manchester and Gloucester, the line between Cardiff and
Severn Tunnel Junction is 4 tracks wide to ease any potential congestion between the mix of
express and local passenger services. With all the passenger services, and also the sheer
volume of freight traction which is seen along the line, the tunnel itself has seen upwards of
200 trains run through it daily. In comparison, the railway beyond Cardiff and onto Swansea is
only twin-tracked, providing a much more rural feel for the final stretch across South Wales.
Nowadays, the tunnel is accompanied by the M4 Motorway Bridge which connects London to
Wales. The bridge, alongside the closure of much of the Welsh coal industry, has seen some
decline in rail freight traffic however there are still industries keeping freight alive on the rails.
Port Talbot, home to one of the largest steelworks in Europe, sees constant traffic out of its
extensive railway yards and sidings, with steel trains travelling the breadth of the country.
Back at Severn, the motorway bridge is carefully designed so to avoid putting any weight over
the tunnel, as the increased pressure load on the walls could lead to flooding and collapse.
Today the line sees operations from Great Western Railway which mainly provide express
services from London into Cardiff and Swansea with Arriva Trains Wales running both local
and longer-distance journeys throughout Wales and beyond. One local service in particular,
named Swanline, is an every-other-hour timetabled service that operates between Swansea
and Cardiff Central. Swanline was introduced in in 1994 to coincide with 5 additional stations
which had recently opened on the main line; Llansamlet, Skewen, Briton Ferry, Baglan and
Pyle and was initially an hourly service formed of doubled up multiple units. In recent years,
proposals have been assessed which aim to increase connections in the Swansea Bay area by
cutting journeys off at Port Talbot, before returning to Swansea. Any resolution is yet to be
brought into fruition.
The Great Western Main Line, and of course the South Wales Main Line, are currently
undergoing a major redevelopment to ensure that the Greater West is well suited for the
future. As decades have gone by, many of Britain's key routes have been electrified to allow
for higher speeds, cleaner trains, for both the environment and the passengers, and more
comfortable journeys. The west coast, the east coast, the south coast, all these railways were
fully fitted with electric capability by the end of the 20th Century. The Great Western Railway
network however, despite being one of the busiest commuter corridors in the country, had
managed to avoid the wires.
The South Wales Coastal – Bristol to Swansea route for Train Simulator recreates the 85 mile
section of main line from Bristol Temple Meads and Bristol Parkway to Swansea, via the
Severn Tunnel. Also included are a large selection of locomotives and freight wagons to
replicate services on the line as seen today, including the Arriva Trains Wales Class 175
'Coradia' DMU, Freightliner Class 70, DB Schenker Class 67 and Great Western Railways Class
43 HST.

By the 1980s, British Rail were still operating a vast fleet of old Heritage DMUs, which dated
back to the mid-1950s, across much of Britain's rural and un-electrified rail network. Clearly, a
significant number of these ageing units were in dire need of replacement, their slow nature
and unfit interiors would not hone the ideals of the future. The solution was to keep hold of
some older units which were more standardised, and capable of refurbishment, while
replacing the rest with brand new, second-generation DMUs.
Two separate batches of DMUs would be the first to modernise the rural rails, the first was the
continuously controversial Pacer series which were essentially buses on rails and intended for
shorter-haul journeys, the second were the Sprinters, which would take the long-haul into
their own.
Derived from the Mk3 bodyshell, the new Sprinter prototypes, classified as the Class 150 and
numbered 150001 and 150002, were built in 1984 by BREL in York as 3-car multiple units to
test which engine and transmission type would be best for moving forward. 150001 was
fitted with a Cummins engine and Voith hydraulic transmission, meanwhile, 150002 utilised a
Rolls Royce (later Perkins) engine and self-changing mechanical transmission.
Trials and extensive testing began at Derby's Railway Technical Centre on the duo of
prototypes, following which they entered service on the Matlock branch for preliminary
services. Over the subsequent years of testing, the units would move further afield to discover
how they performed on different services, and to also promote the new unit around the
country. Places such as Manchester, Birmingham, Aberystwyth, just to name a few, would all
see the new Class 150 at least on occasion. 150001 also had the pleasure of being displayed
under the grand arch roof of St. Pancras, however being 1984, the station looked rather
different when compared to today. Other testing locations included the Welsh Valleys,
Glasgow and Inverness.
After testing for both prototypes ended, it was apparent that 150001 was much more reliable
in operation than 150002, who's Rolls Royce engine and self-changing gearbox proved to
provide a less than satisfactory service. 150001 was the clear choice for a production series,
however the concept of a 3-car design would not be continued. This decision was not the end
of 150002 however, 002 was reclassified as the Class 154, following modification, and was
used to develop the Class 158 Express Sprinter. 154002 would eventually be converted back
into a standard Class 150 model, and continues to run with sister 150001 on Reading shuttle
services to this day.
The first production variant of the Class 150, the 150/1, was near identical to the prototype,
the only main difference being the exclusion of the intermediate car. A total of 50 Class 150/1
DMUs were ordered for use under the Regional Railways sector of BR, and they were
introduced into service in 1986. Under Regional Railways, the Class 150/1 fleet were mainly
used in and around Manchester and Birmingham, however the dawn of privatisation would
see them operate from capital to coast.
Angel Trains took ownership of the Class 150/1s when the franchises began, and initially they
were leased to the likes of Silverlink, North Western Trains & Central Trains; through the
varied operators, the 150s have seen a colourful array of liveries in their lifetime. Today, Great
Western Railway operate the second largest fleet of Class 150/1 DMUs at a total of 17,
sandwiched in between Northern at 28 and London Midland at 3. GWR acquired their fleet
from previous operators who took charge of units like the Class 172.
Following the First Great Western to Great Western Railway rebrand, the only Class 150
without a gangway to be refurbished is the prototype, 150001, all Class 150/1s at present are
still resplendent in the bold 'Plain Blue' livery, and it is unlikely that they shall see any new
looks while under GWR. The Class 150/1 fleet is used by GWR on their West of England
services, serving from Cardiff, through to Bristol, onward to Exeter and beyond. The units,
while capable of being coupled up in multiple (to themselves and other BSI-equipped units),
tend to operate alone as their lack of inter-unit gangways can limit passenger movements,
especially on routes with shorter platforms. This also causes the issue of a guard being
completely cut off from one half of the unit. However, during the peak hours, or busier times
especially in the coastal regions, they will be seen operating in pairs. Much like the Class
150/9s, another sprinkle of irony is when the 150/1s operate with a Class 153 in-tow, further
proving the 3-car potential of the prototype.
The Class 150 design would also prove ideal for other rail-related purposes, the gangway-less
Class 150/1 was a suitable base for Network Rail's new track assessment unit, and as such a
single, unique Class 950 was produced, fitted throughout with testing and measuring
equipment. Unlike the 'Flying Banana', the Class 950 is light enough to travel throughout the
entire country without issue, and can be a sought-after sight by enthusiasts with only a solo
unit resting upon the rails. Another use for the Class 150 bodyshell was found across waters
in the form of the Northern Ireland Railways Class 450, while very similar in design (thanks to
the commonality of the Mk3 base), the units clearly served a very different network and were
of course fitted for Northern Ireland's broad 5ft 3in (1600mm) gauge.
As the first of the Sprinter DMUs to roll off the production line, the Class 150/1 is a true icon
of late British engineering, a unit that was a major step up from the old heritage stock of
yesteryear, and still manages to impress commuters and railfans alike, even today.

however the concept of a 3-car design would not be continued.
With the shortening of the units, the first production models were categorised as the Class
150/1 and a total of 50 were produced for the Regional Railways sector of BR. The next batch,
known as the Class 150/2s, were to differ slightly from the 150/1 with the addition of a
gangway to allow passengers to move between units. The Class 150/2s were intended for
longer-distance routes than their flat-nosed counterparts, but still under the Regional
Railways sector of British Rail.
Having been handed between operators since their introduction in 1986, the Class 150/2 fleet
today operate principally for Arriva Trains Wales who put 34 Sprinters into use out of Cardiff
and throughout Wales. Arriva have also operated a rather unique consist; the extra gangways
of the Class 150/2 have often seen units split in half and combined with other sets to create
3-car sets, and a Class 150/9, no. 150978, has been noted to work out of the Welsh capital
and along the South Wales coast.
As some of the original 'Sprinter' family DMUs to roll off the production line, the Class 150/2 is
a true icon of late British engineering, a unit that was a major step up from the old heritage
stock of yesteryear, and still manages to impress commuters and railfans alike, even today.
