Built to work top-link expresses across British Rail’s Western Region, featuring unique and ambitious technologies, the BR Class 52 now spends its days in retirement on heritage railways and enthusiast excursions, and is primed for diesel gala duty on Train Sim World®’s freshly remastered West Somerset Railway!

The 1955 plan to modernise Britain’s railways set in motion a cascade of mass dieselisation. Many regions favoured diesel-electric technology to replace hard-working steam, but the Western Region derived their inspiration from German diesel-hydraulic transmission. A handful of designs would come from this decision, but none were as striking as the appropriately named “Western”.

Designated the Class 52, the “Western” proved the potential of hydraulic power, pulling express services through Western England with ease, and capable of 90mph operation thanks to its double-engine setup. Following a reign throughout the 1960s and 70s, commonality had spoken, and rival diesel-electric technology became the dominant choice for British motive power. Thankfully, a handful of Westerns dodged the cutters torch, and in years since, have taken charge working railtours and reminiscing in yesteryear on heritage railways.

In Train Sim World®, the Class 52 makes a loud and proud appearance on the West Somerset Railway’s historical diesel gala, take to the rails and give the passengers a sense of 1960s finesse! With the power of Free Roam, explore the World in hydraulic fashion, and put the Western to test however you desire.
