Train Simulator: Class 67 Diamond Jubilee Loco Add-On (DLC)

Train Simulator add-ons like this one operate on a simple premise: one locomotive, one purpose, full fidelity. The Class 67 Diamond Jubilee add-on drops Dovetail's recreation of the DB Schenker Class 67 diesel-electric into the base Train Simulator, dressed in its Royal Train livery and tied thematically to the locomotive's role hauling the Queen to Jubilee celebrations. That framing is window dressing, but it gives the DLC a clear identity. This is a cab-ride experience for people who want to sit behind that specific diesel-electric and hear it work. From a simulation standpoint, the Class 67 is a competent express freight and passenger locomotive, and Dovetail's model reflects that. The diesel-electric drivetrain behaves differently from pure electric or steam traction - throttle response is governed by the power unit cycling up, and managing wheel slip on departure requires actual attention rather than just slamming the throttle. If you already own routes that support this loco's operational profile, you get genuine replay value out of learning its handling quirks. If you are only running it on the included scenario, you are paying for a single scripted run. The honest problem with any Train Simulator DLC from this era is the value-to-scope ratio. There is one locomotive here, and the decision to buy hinges almost entirely on whether your existing route library gives it room to breathe. The Class 67 operates well on mainline UK routes, so owners of the West Coast Main Line or similar content will get meaningful mileage. For newcomers buying this as an entry point, that calculation gets harder - Train Simulator's base content is thin, and a single loco add-on is not a curriculum. No Metacritic rating and no Steam review aggregate are available for this one, which makes crowd-sourced confidence impossible to lean on. That is common for older, niche DLC. The modding scene around Train Simulator is active enough that community-made scenarios sometimes extend the shelf life of loco packs significantly, and the Class 67's real-world profile means it shows up in fan-built consists. That is a soft plus if you are already embedded in the community. Bottom line for the numbers-minded buyer: treat this as a per-loco infrastructure purchase, not a standalone game. If your route count justifies another diesel-electric in the stable, the Class 67 is a solid, historically interesting choice. If you are just getting started with Train Simulator, build out your route library first and come back when you have the track to run it on. Diego, Scout Team
