British Rail Class 58

Description
British Rail Class 58 Diesel locomotive, by killakanz
Unlocks in 1983

This Co-Co diesel locomotive was designed for heavy freight, it's design followed the American practice of modularisation.
Nicknamed the 'Bone' by enthusiasts, 50 of them were built for British Rail. After British Rail's Railfreight Distribution was privatised, all of the Class 58s were passed on to EWS in 1996.
After just a couple of years, EWS began to withdraw the 58s from service and put them into storage, taking preference to newer locos like the Class 66. The last 58 was withdrawn by EWS in 2002.
Some of the class went for lease overseas, with many going to France and Spain.

As at the end of 2018, 3 remain stored in the UK, with 5 more in preservation. France still operates 3, with 20 stored. Spain still operates 8, with 4 in storage.
7 of the class have been scrapped.

Update 17/Apr/2020:
Tweaked the Railfreight Grey livery, better shade of yellow for the ends and desaturated the red on the chassis.

Update 10/Feb/2020:

used to run lots of these on my old Trainz layout. Where i live they use a lot of class 66 in EWS and some have DB markings on them to. Just so hesitant to reinstall this game, I have hundreds of mods from TF1 including umpteen airline models as Im into aviation heavily. Just a pity, they didnt think of some way of migrating all your animals, cars, static construction sites. CAT excavator's simply cant be bothered installing it all again.. I waits a few months, seem theres many problems to sort out
