Train Sim World® 5: BR Class 52 'Western' Loco Add-On (DLC)

If you like diesel locomotives with real character and want to feel how British diesel life looked, this add-on is for you. The Class 52 is a machine with a German hydraulic heart, and driving it is nothing like the usual electric or diesel-electric trains. The mood is calm and a little nostalgic, with retro trains running on heritage lines. What to expect: - At first, your time goes to getting used to the hydraulics: shifting, loading the two engines, reaching 90 mph without jerky starts. - The locomotive was built for Western Region express services, so you can run fast trains along old main lines in western England. - It looks great on the updated West Somerset Railway route, where it hauls visitors through scenic countryside. - It is a single loco with two engines and a striking history, so every trip feels a bit different.

TSW Compatible content released for a previous Train Sim World® - features may remain unchanged from the original release and may not make use of all newer core features. 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®’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®, 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.
