Train Sim World® 4: BR Class 52 'Western' Loco Add-On (DLC)

For fans of old machines and slow, deliberate train handling. The Class 52 does not feel like a typical diesel loco: it runs on hydraulic transmission instead of electric, carries two engines under the hood, and has real character from the first few meters. It is loud, nostalgic, and clearly not built for a quiet ride. What to expect: - The first hours go into learning the hydraulic drive and getting a feel for how the loco builds up speed. The difference from electric models shows right away. - It was made for express passenger service, so your train should look and drive the part, not just pull cars along. - The loco fits the West Somerset Railway route, where the Class 52 looks right at home and brings fresh scenery to the line. - In Free Play it is a good excuse to build your own routes and timetables from scratch. The add-on requires Train Sim World® 4 on the account.

Built to work top-link expresses across British Rail’s Western Region, featuring unique and ambitious technologies, the BR Class 52 now spends its days in retirement on heritage railways and enthusiast excursions, and is primed for diesel gala duty on Train Sim World 4’s freshly remastered West Somerset Railway! The 1955 plan to modernise Britain’s railways set in motion a cascade of mass dieselisation. Many regions favoured diesel-electric technology to replace hard-working steam, but the Western Region derived their inspiration from German diesel-hydraulic transmission. A handful of designs would come from this decision, but none were as striking as the appropriately named “Western”. Designated the Class 52, the “Western” proved the potential of hydraulic power, pulling express services through Western England with ease, and capable of 90mph operation thanks to its double-engine setup. Following a reign throughout the 1960s and 70s, commonality had spoken, and rival diesel-electric technology became the dominant choice for British motive power. Thankfully, a handful of Westerns dodged the cutters torch, and in years since, have taken charge working railtours and reminiscing in yesteryear on heritage railways. In Train Sim World 4, the Class 52 makes a loud and proud appearance on the West Somerset Railway’s historical diesel gala, take to the rails and give the passengers a sense of 1960s finesse! With the power of Free Roam, explore the World in hydraulic fashion, and put the Western to test however you desire.
