## Description
### Steam Store Description
The loud and grating noises of a BR232 ‘Ludmilla’ make this former Soviet
diesel locomotive a favourite among German rail fans, and now you can take
control of this heavy freighter in Train Simulator.
Originally built in the Ukraine between 1970 and 1982, the BR232 (then the DR
Class 132) was originally imported into the former German Democratic Republic
(GDR). The locomotive formed part of the DR 130 family of locomotives, which
also included the DR Class 130, Class 142 and DR Class 131. More than 700
units in the DR 130 family were produced on a steel framework structure with
attached body, giving them a different external look to the normally refined
and sleek German locomotives.
During GDR times, many of the Class pulled any trains that were generally fast
or heavy, from express passenger trains on non-electrified lines or coal and
lime trains weighing more than 2,000 tonnes.
Following the reunification of Germany, Deutsche Bahn inherited the DR 130
family of locomotives, mainly as heavy freight locomotives but occasionally to
head passenger services. Nicknamed ‘Ludmilla’, many locomotives could be seen
working services from Germany’s main cities, including Hamburg, Kassel,
Nuremburg and Kiel.
Today, most of the former DR 130 locomotive family have been withdrawn from
service but some continue to ply their trade on Intercity passenger services
and freight operations. Only a handful of BR232 locomotives remain in service
for DB.
The BR232 for Train Simulator is available in Deutsche Bahn Orient Red and
Traffic Red, and Railion liveries and features functioning SiFa driver
vigilance system, dynamic braking, switchable fuel pump and drive mode, cab
lighting, sun visors, Facns, Shimms and Hbbills freight wagons.
The locomotive is also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive
the BR232 on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train Simulator, such as those
available through Steam. Also included are scenarios specifically for the
Munich-Augsburg route (available separately and required to play these
scenarios).
