Train Sim World®: BR Class 52 Loco Add-On

Buy Train Sim World®: BR Class 52 Loco Add-On Steam key on FrsGames.com! Discover this locomotive built for the finest express services that crisscrossed British Railways' western region. In 1955, British Railways' modernization plan called for the phasing out of steam locomotives in favor of modern diesel locomotives.

The Western Region took a different approach and began to consider the use of hydraulic transmission. A few models would be produced in the following years for different tasks, but none would be as striking as the "Western", which was the first to roll off the production line in the early 1960s.

The "Western" was the first to be produced in the early 1960s.

Derived from German diesel-hydraulic technology, the "Western" was equipped with two engines which, when combined, gave a much higher tractive effort than on its predecessors. The Class 52 was capable of speeds of up to 145 km/h, and is said to have reached 177 km/h according to unofficial records.

At the same time, the "Western" was also equipped with an electric motor.
