Oliver Bulleid designed SR West Country Class with an air-smoothed body that gives the 110 samples a distinctive look. The members of West Country class ran smoothly even at high speed but they consumed too much fuel. So BR decided to re-design many of the locos with a more conventional look even in the early 1960s. Many of the non-rebuilts survived in service until 1967. F14: engine driver dialogue selectable via CV168 value 0-4 (random/specific)

Oliver Bulleid designed SR Merchant Navy Class with an air-smoothed body that gives the 30 samples a distinctive look. After debut of successor Standard Class 7 Merchant Navy class had been re-designed with a more conventional look. In 1967, quite in fall of her career 35003 „Royal Mail“ had reached a maximum speed of 150,88 mph. F14: engine driver dialogue selectable via CV168 value 0-4 (random/specific)

Debuting in 1951 the BR Standard Class 7 had been one of the most famous classes of British steam locomotives. The two cylinder locos reached a maximum speed of 144 km/h and were used till 1966. 70000 “Britannia” and 70013 “Oliver Cromwell” are preserved and power fan trip trains.

From 1908, the British Great Western Railway GWR purchased several series of a steam locomotive type generally known as the Large Prairie (wheel arrangement 2-6-2T). The last series were the 4100-4179, built between 1934 and 1949. The three-coupled locomotives, which were equally fast forwards and backwards, were primarily used on suburban trains, but also proved their worth on light freight trains. The last of the 1039 hp, 75 mph two-cylinder superheated steam locomotives were retired by 1965, more…
Between 1976 and 1984, British Rail had 135 examples of the six-axle class 56 freight locomotive built. The final production of the first 30 of the series created according to BR plans was carried out with sub-assemblies in Romania at Electroputere. The following locomotives were assembled in England. The 16-cylinder Ruston-Paxman 16RK3CT diesel engine produced 2625 kW and generated the power for the six traction motors. In favor of reliability, the power was reduced to 2420 kW at 900 rpm. The more…
From 1964, British Rail (BR) purchased a total of 56 diesel-hydraulic Class 14s to transport light trains between marshalling yards and industrial areas. The Paxman six-cylinder engine, which was set to produce 650 hp at 1500 rpm, transmitted its power to the three axles via a jackshaft and coupling rods. The maximum speed limit of 40 km/h was beneficial for traction, but was hardly sufficient for long-distance travel. For this reason, the BR began selling its Class 14s to industrial companies more…
The emergence of the Class 57 went back to the idea of the British freight train service provider Freightliner, founded in the 1990s, who wanted to buy some of the state-owned British Rail Class 47s, which were prone to damage and were inefficient, and wanted to use them again after modernization. As a life-prolonging measure, for example, the 12-cylinder diesel engine 12-645 from EMD, which has been tried and tested ten thousand times over, was installed, which accelerated the six-axle vehicle more…

British Rail BR ordered 512 samples of dieselelectric Class 47. The Sulzer 12LDA28C prime mover 2750 HP and enable the six-axle locos to reach a speed of 153 km/h or 121 km/h depending on gearing.
Different starting processes can be selected with F1: 1x press button = warm start / press button 2x = false start / press button 3x = cold start
F2 slows down the locomotive slowly.
For F3 and F4, a total of 2 different signal horn variants can be selected with CV167: Value 0 = Horn variant 1 more…
