Introduction: This loco add-on will include 2 new locomotives, and a multiple unit for the tees valley route, as well as adding in some extra layers to the route. The locos: British rail class 56 "Grid" The class 56 is a locomotive primarily used for freight. It is powered by ruston paxman 16RK3CT unit, with a power output of 3,250HP. These locomotives have a similar design to the class 47s, although have some differences. Top speed: 80mph Layers: BR era routes set after 1977, railtours. Liveries: BR blue, BR railfreight grey British rail class 58 "bone" The class 58 is a heavy diesel freight locomotive which is also used for heavy freight operations, these are powered by a ruston paxman 12RK3ACT, with a total power output of 3,300HP, being built between 1983 and 1987. Top speed: 80mph Layers: BR era routes set after 1983 Liveries: BR railfreight red stripe, BR railfreight grey Class 143 The class 143 is a 2 car diesel multiple unit derived from the Leyland national bus. They are very similar to the class 142s, with the same engines. They would substitute for the class 101 in the timetable, as they ran alongside one another for a while. Top speed: 75mph Layers: BP branches, WCL Liveries: BR provincial blue Layers: Class 142 The class 142 would substitute for the class 101 and 143 in timetable mode Class 150 The class 150 would substitute for the class 101 and 143, Albeit a lot rarer. Scenarios: Class 56 introduction Learn the basics of driving a class 56 diesel locomotive Difficulty: 1 Class 58 introduction Learn the basics of driving a class 58 diesel locomotive Difficulty: 1 Class 143 introduction Learn the basics of driving a class 143 diesel multiple unit Difficulty: 1 Pacing the valley Operate this class 143 on a Stopping service between Middlesbrough and Darlington on a rainy morning Difficulty: 1 Switch over A heatwave has struck the uk, as a result you will have to take over from the previous driver early. Commute from Darlington to Thornaby to take over the service back to Darlington. Difficulty: 3 Seaside steel Operate this pair of class 56s on a freight run to tees yard. Difficulty: 2 Rescue grid A class 37 has failed on the mainline next to Darlington. As a result you will have to bring this class 56 to drag it back to tees yard for repairs. Difficulty: 4 Crosscountry coal Operate this pair of class 58s Dragging a coal train from tees yard to Darlington, bound for Ayr Harbour. Difficulty: 3 Slipping bone A snowstorm has taken over, and you are to drag this pair of class 58s light to Redcar mineral terminal. Difficulty: 4 Overall: This loco add on would add extra variety on the route, bring a few extra BR era locomotives to the game, and could perhaps be added alongside a TOD4 update to the route as well.
Long long long overdue at this point. All highly worthy of being added to TVL for a whole ton of variety.
Yeah the 150s rarely ran if they did at all, I just added it in so players have the option to run it if they wished
All would be great, but even a freight loco (58 I would vote of the 2 here for extra differences) and of course the pacer layers would be brilliant one of my most local routes so extra points to make it even better.
Yes. would be hard to get sounds for the 58 but apart from that yes. TBH, the older TSW routes such as GWE, NTP & TVL are in need for more stock. It's already annoying that we only get 1 new train per route these days with the developers relying on layers from other routes to fill the timetable.
