## Description
### Steam Store Description
The modular TRAXX locomotives from Bombardier have become one of Europe’s most
widespread family of locomotives and includes the BR 185.5, now available for
Train Simulator.
Bombardier’s TRAXX family (standing for Transnational Railway Applications
with Extreme Flexibility) is a modular product platform of electric and
diesel-electric passenger and freight locomotives, designed to enable the
quick and efficient production of mainline models for a variety of European
railway companies.
The first TRAXX version was a dual voltage AC locomotive built in 1996 for the
German rail network, with DC and diesel versions added in later years and
around 1,000 models built to date.
In July 1998, Adtranz – later to be bought by Bombardier – received a follow-
on order for 400 more medium weight freight locomotives, the BR 185. They were
intended to be double voltage to allow international operations and, in line
with the TRAXX ethos, included parts used on their predecessor, the BR 145,
with the additional of European train protection systems and a lower height to
meet international loading gauges.
The Europalok, as they were to become known, had a top speed of 140km/h
(87mph) and operated as a general purpose freight locomotive. More than 300 BR
185.5 locomotives were built and sold to various train operators, including
leasing companies, throughout Europe, including Switzerland, France and
Germany.
The BR 185.5 for Train Simulator is available in MRCE Black livery as it
appears today on the German rail network as a freight locomotive. Features of
the model include PZB and LZB signalling systems, and Zacns 95 tank freight
wagons.
The locomotive is also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive
the MRCE BR 185.5 on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train Simulator, such
as those available through Steam. Also included are scenarios specifically for
the Cologne-Koblenz route (available separately and required to play these
scenarios).
