New South Wales Government Railways 52B Class (5u, No Mods)

[Disclaimer: Keep in mind this is a FICTIONAL diesel shunter, no 52B Class shunters exist in real lifes, but it is loosely based on the British Rail Class 06, NSWGR X200 class, and British Rail Class 01]

The British Rail 52B class, born in 1952 from the workshops of Bristol Railworks, marked a pivotal shift in railway technology, transitioning from steam to diesel power. These compact shunting locomotives were integral to the operations in the United Kingdom, adeptly handling the assembly and movement of trains within industrial yards and depots.

As British Rail underwent branding changes in the 1960s, the iconic double-arrow logo was added to the class, symbolizing a new era in rail transportation. Meanwhile, one unit, BRW-5205, embarked on an overseas journey to Australia in 1970, where it underwent a refurbishment in 1974, adopting the Public Transport Commission logo to suit its new surroundings.

Following suit, BRW-5216 became the last of the 52Bs to be exported to Australia in 1970, enriching the rail landscape in the Hunter Region of New South Wales. Its journey included a refurbishment in 1974, aligning it with the Australian Public Transport Commission's branding. Both locomotives served actively until their retirements in the mid-1980s.

Today, a handful of these locomotives are preserved, acting as living relics of a transformative period in railway history. The British Rail 52B class stands as a testament to innovation, adaptability, and the global interconnectedness of rail technologies during the mid-20th century.

The coupler is closed on default, to open press on one of the switches on the coupler to open up, since they're not automatic.
