Commonly called the “Chopper” by enthusiasts thanks to its unique engine sound, the BR Class 20 comes to Train Sim World in striking Railfreight Livery, synonymous with freight locomotives of that era.

Developed in the 1950s, the English Electric Type 1 was the first major step on British Railways’ path to dieselisation. After many trials and failures, the Type 1 showed promise as a 1000hp locomotive, and between 1957 and 1968 a total of 228 would be produced. The Type 1s took over from steam locomotives of equivalent power, primarily working light, mixed-freight traffic throughout the midlands and in Scotland.

Thanks to the Type One Locomotive Company we were given access to their beautifully restored BR Class 20 currently residing at the Great Central Railway. This allowed us to accurately capture the locomotives likeness in fine detail, with accurate true to life performance, handling and authentic sound recording.
