Wayside Works has made some good freeware locomotives for Train Simulator, and recently I found out about his LNER Y7, so I thought I'd see how she runs.
This gameplay was recorded on the Temsby Branch (a freeware route available on Steam Workshop). We'll be using Y7 No. 985 - one of two preserved examples in real life - to assemble a freight train for the Q1 class 0-8-0 to take out later.
I found the Y7 to be a bit of a handful. The only way to stop her while running light-engine was to use the handbrake, and the regulator was a bit overpowered (to the point where the reverser was more effective at controlling the speed sometimes, even with the regulator closed).
