Msts Bgpro Amrit Bharat Trainset
MSTS BGPro Amrit Bharat Trainset a high-fidelity digital add-on for the Microsoft Train Simulator (MSTS) Open Rails platforms, developed by Broad Gauge Productions (BGPro) . It replicates the real-world Amrit Bharat Express
, a high-speed, non-AC "push-pull" train service introduced by Indian Railways for affordable long-distance travel. Key Features & Content
The BGPro trainset is a comprehensive package designed to offer a realistic simulation of the Amrit Bharat experience. The pack typically includes: Locomotives: Specialized locomotives from the Howrah (HWH) shed (e.g., 35027, 35028) and the Ghaziabad (GZB) shed (e.g., 35029, 35030).

A full complement of LHB (Linke Hofmann Busch) coaches in the distinctive orange and grey livery . This includes: (Seating-cum-Luggage Rake) and (General Second Class) coaches featuring detailed Performance: Designed for the unique push-pull configuration
, where a locomotive is positioned at both ends of the train to improve acceleration and eliminate the need for locomotive reversal at terminal stations. Technical Details & Usage Developer: Broad Gauge Productions (BGPro). Platform Compatibility: Fully compatible with Microsoft Train Simulator (MSTS) and more modern simulation engines like Open Rails , which offer enhanced performance and physics. Availability: The trainset is available as a add-on, priced at approximately official BGPro website MSTS BGPro Amrit Bharat Trainset a high-fidelity digital
The models are meticulously handcrafted to match the aerodynamic design of the real-world WAP-5 "Amrit" variants and the specific interior configurations of the common-man's express. Broad Gauge Products Context: The Real Amrit Bharat Express
For players seeking realism, this trainset represents a significant part of modern Indian rail history. The real Amrit Bharat Express was first flagged off in December 2023 Faster acceleration and deceleration reduce trip times on
. It operates as a fully non-AC service, typically consisting of 22 coaches (11 General, 8 Sleeper, and various guard/luggage vans), linking major cities like Mumbai, Saharsa, Bengaluru, and Malda Town. for this trainset or find scenarios/routes where it can be operated?
Operational advantages
- Faster acceleration and deceleration reduce trip times on stop-dense corridors compared with locomotive-hauled trains.
- Energy savings via regenerative braking and efficient traction control.
- Scalability: Operators can couple multiple sets for peak demand or use shorter sets off-peak.
- Reduced turnaround time because driving cabs at both ends (or push–pull operation) eliminate run-around or locomotive changes.
- Easier depot maintenance with modular systems and diagnostic tools.
Step 1: Startup Procedure
- Insert Virtual Master Key.
- Turn on Battery (Ctrl + B).
- Activate MCP (Main Control Panel).
- Press “Rear Loco Enable” (custom key assigned in BGPro settings).
Step-by-Step Installation:
- Download the Trainset: Obtain the
.exeor.zipfile from a trusted source (e.g., IRFCA Simulators or BGPro official site). - Extract Files: Use 7-Zip or WinRAR. You will see folders like
TRAINS,SOUND,ROUTES. - Copy to MSTS Directory:
- Drag the
TRAINSfolder into your main MSTS folder (e.g.,C:/Program Files/Microsoft Games/Train Simulator/). - Overwrite when prompted.
- Drag the
- Add Consist Files: Copy
.confiles from theCONSISTSfolder to theTRAINS/CONSISTSdirectory. - Register in Open Rails: Open Open Rails → Options → Content → ensure the route and trainset are ticked.
- Test: Load any BGPro route (e.g., the “Delhi - Howrah” BGPro version) and select “Amrit Bharat Trainset” from the locomotive selection menu.
Troubleshooting: If the rear locomotive doesn’t respond to throttle, ensure “MU Braking” and “Distributed Power” are enabled in Open Rails’ experimental features.
