What if? Life extended Class 52 'Western's

What If?
BR policy hadn't forced the premature withdrawal of Diesel-Hydraulic locomotives?

Instead of scrapping, the Class 52 'Westerns' BR put them through a refurbishment, & fitted adaptions, to enhance operations.

THIS MOD REQUIRES Planesimple's original Class 52 model to be loaded.

These modificcations resulted in the surviving locomotives being split into 52/1 for Freight work & 52/2 for passenger work.

- 52/1 British Rail blue livery
- 52/2 Brisith Rail blue livery

The following subclass's were created later, mechanicaly still the same, the subclasses were formed for the differing sectors, plus the,Yeoman & Hanson's locomotives they bought from BR,

- 52/0 'Yeoman Aggregates' livery
- 52/0 'Hanson Aggregates' livery
- 52/2 InterCity livery
- 52/4 Regional Railways livery
- 52/6 Railfreight General livery
- 52/8 Rail Express Systems livery
- 52/9 BR Civil Engineers 'Dutch' livery.

As a result of privatisation of BR, the whole fleet were renumbered in their original TOPS subclasses, & split between EWS for freight locos & the newly formed Great Western franchise.
EWS disposed of their locos, in 2007, GBRf took on these locomotives from this date.

From 1997 - EWS livery.
From 2007 - GBRf livery.

The passenger locos wore the vast array of liveries that franchise used;

From 1995 - Great Western 'Merlin' livery.
From 2002 - First Great Western '♥♥♥ Packet' livery.
From 2003 - First Great Western 'Barbie with white' livery.
From 2004 - First Great Western 'Barbie' livery.
From 2006 - First Great Western 'Dynamic Stripes' livery.
From 2015 - First Great Western 'GWR' livery.

- Asset versions of all vehicles included.
