## About This Content
Recount the iconic and distinctive hydraulics in this bumper package for Train
Simulator featuring BR Class 35, BR Class 42 and BR Class 52 locomotives as
they were in their heyday. This conversion kit for the Riviera Line in the
Fifties: Exeter – Kingswear Route Add-On (available as a separate purchase)
permits authentic operations on the route to the much-loved transitional
diesel era.

Between 1961 and 1964, a total of 101 ‘D7000’ series locomotives were produced
for the Western Region of British Railways. The D7000s worked out of Old Oak
Common, Cardiff Canton and Bristol Bath Road, and with their 1700hp Bristol-
Siddely/Maybach MD870 engines producing a maximum tractive effort of 46,600
lbf, could effectively handle secondary passenger and freight at speeds
upwards of 90mph.

Much like most British Railways locomotives, the D7000s started life in BR
Green livery, but some were soon seen in BR Blue before the entire fleet was
untimely withdrawn from service. Unlike other classes however, the early Green
guises were much more elaborate on the D7000s, featuring a Brunswick and light
green body, medium grey roof, white window surrounds and on later iterations,
yellow warning panels. Although never renumbered, the D7000 fleet was
reclassified under TOPS as the BR Class 35, and they were nicknamed the
“Hymek”.

Between 1958 and 1964, a total of 38 locomotives were built for express
passenger services on BR’s Western Region, numbered in the series of D800 to
D832 and from D866 to D870. These were allocated to Old Oak Common, Newton
Abbot, Plymouth Laira and Bristol Bath Road, from where they headed trains
such as the Cornish Riviera Express and the Bristolian. Unlike the D7000, the
locomotives featured two Maybach MD650 engines providing a combined output up
to 2270hp, so despite the similar top speed of 90mph, the ‘Warship’ Class 42
(as they would later be known) could haul significantly heavier loads.

Again, these locomotives started life in BR Green, although not as vibrant as
the D7000’s variation, however the Western Region soon turned controversial as
they adopted maroon as their new standard colour and applied it to the Class
42. By 1966, BR Blue started to appear on the fleet. Whereas the D7000s were
not named, each Class 42 was, and all but two were named after Royal Navy
vessels, and the fleet was known as the “Warship” diesels. As locomotives were
re-liveried post-1968, the ‘D’ prefix was dropped from the number, and despite
being reclassified as BR Class 42 under TOPS, this was not reflected in
reality.

Between 1961 and 1964, a total of 74 ‘D1000’ series locomotives were
constructed to relieve the D800s of the Western Region top-link expresses, for
which they were underpowered. When new, the D1000s were allocated to Old Oak
Common, Plymouth Laira, Bristol Bath Road, Cardiff Canton and Landore, however
as Class 50s, and later the HST took their place, they were all based at
Laira. Much like the D800s, the D1000s were fitted with two engines, but the
Maybach MD655 was utilised, and a pair of them could produce a staggering
2700hp.

The D1000s were also subject to the likes of BR Maroon and BR Blue, however
they were also seen in more unique liveries such as BR Desert Sand a trial in
testing for a new standard colour for locomotives of BR. Interestingly, there
has been debate over what type of blue was used on some D1000s; early reports
stated a ‘chromatic blue’ was used, giving the locos a metallic sheen. Some
enthusiasts accept that this is merely an early camera anomaly, and that no
such blue was ever implemented. Every D1000 locomotive was named ‘Western…’
and a single word such as ‘Champion’, and so they were known as the “Western”
class. Under TOPS, the D1000s became the BR Class 52, but were never
renumbered as such before withdrawal.

For Train Simulator, the Western Hydraulic Pack brings the Hymeks, Warships
(Class 42 only) and Westerns to life, as they were in operational service.
Additionally, multiple liveries are present, and so are nameplates, a lot of
nameplates!
