CR CL Class

CR CL Class Locomotive

The Commonwealth Railways CL Class, manufactured by Clyde Engineering, under contract from EMD (Electro-Motive Diesel) at their Granville NSW workshops, from 1970 to 1972, and is famously known as the last ever example of the "EMD Bulldog" design to be built in the world.

Powered by an EMD 16-645E3 engine with a rated output of 3000hp, and a top speed of 130km/h, this class of engine was very similar, mechanically, to the earlier Western Australian L Class.

These engines operated services along the Trans-Australian Railway, eventually running through from NSW to WA.

The CL Class was later transferred to Australian National Railways (ANR) in 1975, (later becoming Australian National), which involved the class adopting it's second, very well known, green and yellow, Australian National livery.

Post 1980, these engines begun running services through to Alice Springs and Adelaide after the standardisation of the lines' track gauges.

These engines were then later "re-manufactured" by Morrison Knudsen to the CLF and CLP classes, denoted suffixes 'F' and 'P' for related freight and passenger workings.

Many of these locos are still in service to this day, in their re-built forms, with Southern Shorthaul Railroad (SSR) and Aurizon. One example CLP10, saved by the late rail identity; Bernie Baker, is being rebuilt and retrofitted to its original identity of CL17, and is such preserved.

Features:

Our CL class locomotives have been built from scratch from the ground up, with various exciting, and unseen features.

Fixed texture resolution: high res textures, consistent across the whole locomotive with no quality loss

3 layers, of custom hand-drawn weathering, that change automatically

3d modelled name plates, that appear for the appropriate engine number

Custom engine sounds captured from a WA L Class for era-accurate realism

Full custom interior, with custom sound design

Advanced scripted controls, controlling door, window, visor and wiper animations; marker, headlight-dim, step lights, number board lights

Immersive dynamic brake sounds, that spool up and down when engaging and disengaging

Advanced smoke effects reactive to throttle and load, extended sanding effects and heat haze

Locomotive crew that automatically show/hide based on loco consist position

Custom headlight brightness and colour

Full level-of-detail system to aid performance

Smooth spooling engine fan animations, door and window animations linked to interior controls

Please note: our script functions have been designed to be mostly controlled from within the interior for improved simulation. The user may be required to go into 'realistic' control mode to be able to utilise the full range of features of this locomotive. Marker light colours can be changed via the properties menu, along with running numbers, locomotive crew status, and weathering type, all other functions have physical controls within the interior view.

These assets have been tested and function fully in TRS22 SP6+, back porting to earlier versions of Trainz may work but is not supported. Function in Multiplayer has not been tested and is not supported for these asset.
