Train Sim World: BR Class 31 Loco Add-On PC kaufen

British Railways launched diesel power in the 1950s with the Type 2 from Brush Traction, a locomotive in the 1000-1499 horsepower range for secondary passenger and lighter freight duties. Classified as the BR Class 31 under TOPS, the standard 31/1 model included steam heating boilers, headcode displays, and compatibility for multiple-working with other diesels. These engines operated from depots like Thornaby across England, hauling trains on routes such as the Tees Valley Line, often in pairs to handle freight without slipping. Train Sim World delivers authentic simulation of the BR Class 31 in its BR Corporate Blue livery, paired with PCA Cement Tank Wagons. Drive feature-rich cabs with true-to-life performance, handling, and sound recordings from real locomotives. Run three scenarios, a training session, and timetabled services on the Tees Valley Line, powered by SimuGraph vehicle dynamics and Unreal Engine 4. Rail enthusiasts who prize detailed diesel operations will find a faithful recreation here.

The 1950s were in full swing, and British Railways were kicking off the start of the radical modernisation plan, which would see steam locomotives retired in favour of brand new, diesel-powered traction.

Brush Traction developed the Type 2, which was designed to fill the 1000-1499 horsepower role, making them suitable on lower-priority passenger and freight trains. The first Type 2s entered service in the Eastern Region, however they soon found use across the country as the fleet grew in size, and with the introduction of TOPS, they were classified as the BR Class 31.

Multiple subclasses of the Class 31s were produced, particularly as technology progressed over time, however the standard locomotive was the 31/1, which featured steam heating boilers, a headcode display atop each cab, and multiple-working compatibility with many other diesel locomotives. The 31/1s were used on secondary passenger duties and lighter freight traffic – they would often be used in pairs for freight as their low power rating would make them prone to slipping.

The fleet of 263 locomotives were based across 12 depots throughout England, including in Thornaby Depot, where the 31s would take charge of trains across the Tees Valley Line.

After having a career spanning decades, and a successful life in preservation, it’s time to turn back the clock and experience the iconic BR Class 31 in its heyday in Train Sim World!
