    The Class 57 is a re-engineered locomotive, rebuilt by Brush Traction, Loughborough from redundant Class 47 locomotives. The locomotives are fitted with a refurbished EMD engine and a re-conditioned alternator, improving reliability and performance. Three variants exist, one for freight and two for passenger operations. Each cost £300,000, about one-third that of a new-build locomotive.

    Also the Class 57 could substitute on future uk routes to do freight services or rail tours, and having the ability to be driving a sleeper train in train sim world would be an amazing and new experience and the interior of the night Rivera is very nice and cozy and just looks very modern, overall I would give this a 9/10 for TSW2, there is a lack of services but a lot of potential

    This works well with Great Western Main Line London Paddington to Reading Station because the matching coaches for this is the Mk3 Sleeper. Class 57 base is Northern Trans-Pennine Class 47 or West Somerset Railway Green Class 47
