British Rail Class 57

The Class 57 was remanufactured from Class 47s between 1998 and 2004: each loco cost about one-third of the price of a new equivalent. 12 freight locos were built for Freightliner, classified 57/0. In 2002 Virgin Trains ordered 16 passenger locos with more powerful EMD engines and higher top speed. These were used for rescue and dragging electric trains over non-electrified lines. 6 57/6 variants were also built between 2000 and 2003. Most are still in service, with 57004 being the first to be scrapped in 2023.

The model is available from 1998. 28 examples are modelled, in all the liveries I could see.

Features:
- Reversible
- Dirt and rust
- Custom audio
- Each loco is also available as a track asset.
