Train Simulator Classic Train Simulator: Trainload BR Class 60 Loco Add-On adds the BR Class 60 diesel-electric locomotive in BR Trainload livery, along with a TEA tanker wagon and three Career scenarios for the South Wales Coastal: Bristol - Swansea route. You can use the locomotive for heavy freight duties.

The BR Class 60

In the 1980s, UK rail freight struggled with unreliable BR Class 56 locomotives and too few locomotives in the Type 5 range to handle the heaviest freight traffic. Brush Traction won the competition to design a new fleet. Its locomotive used a Mirrlees engine rated at 3,100 horsepower, delivered 474 kN of tractive effort, had a top speed of 60 mph and a non-restrictive route availability (RA) rating. An order was placed in 1988, and the first BR Class 60 entered service in 1990.

The fleet comprised 100 locomotives, distributed across depots around the country for a range of freight work. Seventeen were assigned to the Petroleum sector and regularly hauled tanker trains in England and Wales. After privatisation and the arrival of hundreds of Class 66 locomotives, many Class 60s went into storage. Just under a third of the fleet remains operational, three have been selected for preservation, and only one has been scrapped. Enthusiasts nicknamed the Class 60 the “Tug” for its pulling power.

Locomotive and wagon

The add-on includes all six sector variants: Coal, Metals, Construction, Petroleum, Distribution and General. The locomotive has accurate external details and an authentic driving cab, and the included TEA tanker wagon is weathered.

• 6A12 - Robeston Sidings to Theale Murco Sidings
• 6B25 - Westerleigh Murco Sidings to Robeston Sidings
