## About This Content
As the first diesel locomotives to be built at BR’s Darlington Works, the
Class 24 was built as part of the British Rail Modernisation Plan in the late
1950s.

The Class 24 was a Sulzer Type 2, Bo-Bo diesel-electric locomotive built
between 1958 and 1961, incorporating numerous elements such as off-the-shelf
standardised components used for manufacture, including a Sulzer 6LDA28 diesel
engine and a 735Kw British Thomson-Houston (BTH) electric transmission,
producing a total of 1,160hp resulting in a top speed of 75mph (120km/h).

Built at BR’s Derby, Crewe and Darlington Works, Class 24s could be seen
running services initially around Derby and Crewe, but eventually across the
British Rail network hauling both passenger and freight. Fifteen of the
original 20 locomotives were put into use on the Southern Region as the Kent
Coast electrification scheme was behind schedule, and could also be spotted in
the Eastern Region, London Midland Region, Wales and Lancashire.

Class 24s also took over Condor freight services from London to Glasgow,
replacing Class 28s, and became the foundation for the later Class 25 model.

The first Class 24 to be withdrawn from service was D5051 in November 1967 and
by 1979, all but three Class 24s had been withdrawn from service, 14 of which
were scrapped before receiving a TOPS number. The final locomotive, 24081, was
withdrawn in October 1980.

Today, only four of the Class have survived into preservation, D5032 and D5061
at the North Yorkshire Moors Railway, D5054 at the East Lancashire Railway and
24081 at the Gloucestershire & Warwickshire Railway.

The BR Class 24 for Train Simulator recreates the locomotive as it operated
for British Railways throughout the UK in the 1960s, and is available in
British Railways corporate blue/grey livery. Also included are BR Mk1 coaches
in corporate blue/grey livery and 40T YGH ‘Sealion’ ballast wagons.

The locomotive is also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive
the BR Class 24 on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train Simulator, such as
those available through Steam. Also included are scenarios specifically for
the Weardale & Teesdale Network route (available separately and required to
play these scenarios).
