BR Class 22

Beskrivning
One of the legion of unique diesel locomotive designs that found itself in use on British Railways in the mid-20th century, these units used a diesel-hydraulic transmission instead of diesel electric traction like much of the rest of BR's diesel fleet.
58 of these units would be built between 1959 and 1962. Initially they were plagued by reliability issues, and although these were mostly fixed by 1961 the manufacturer, North British Locomotive Works, had gone bankrupt. Ultimately, the fleet's withdrawal began in 1967, with all units withdrawn for scrapping by 1972. No units exist today, merely photographs and enthusiasts who wish to try and recreate a Class 22 from the ground up.

Perhaps these peculiar, yet relatively nice looking units will find more love in your glorious Republic, Comrade?

This is my first effort at modding for the glorious Republic, hopefully it doesn't disappoint!
Most of the work I've done to build this in game has been based on either blueprints floating around online or reference photos, not an awful lot of which exist. If I've missed anything major, which is possible, I'd welcome resources to help improve the mod.

This is the first of hopefully many mods that I intend to put together- in future, with the exception of the mods others are creating to recreate other iconic members of the British Rail ensemble, I intend to try and cover as many classes of locomotive as possible, starting with these early units in the 1950s and working as far as the dying days before privatisation in 1994.

Early work will be mostly on diesel and electric locomotives, though I've certainly got an eye out to potentially work on the (in)famous Class 14x Pacers. Muahahahaha.

Good stuff! Yeah, it was a goof on my end that broke it I think.

Fear not, the Western will soon have a playmate. Or a nemesis, depending on how far down the Western Region mentality you go >:D

It works now! Just varified! :D

Okay, that *should* be the problem solved now. I have no idea why the subfolder disappeared from the mod, but that should be it now fixed.

Hm... I'll poke at it as soon as I get chance, sorry for the delay in replying.

Not sure what could be causing issues...

To check, you are on a save that is either within the availability dates or have your save set to all vehicles available, right?

The mod's not working. I even un- and resubscribed to it and the engine will not appear as a blueprint, used, or new engine

So the Pacer pack is now going to be on hold indefinitely- my discord getting hacked meant I lost a bunch of reference photos someone sent me for the Class 140's close-up details and as such I can't finish it.

To some peoples' delight, I'm building the Sulzer Type 2 (later BR Class 25) with an aim of making it ready sometime before year's end.

It's fine, dw :)

As is, having gotten my stuff set back up I've done a quick update to include the other common paint scheme used on the Class 22, BR Blue.

@madmarduk69, checking DML 0239, there is a diagram of the Metrovicks there. I might well look at working on it somewhere along the line, though after the Pacers I intend to do one of the early AC locos as well :)

I'm not much good with steamers sadly power man, diesel and electric is more my skill level 😅

As is I got my dumb backside hacked a couple of weeks ago so I've not worked on even the Pacers lately 🙃
