Beautifully modelled with highly accurate controls and cab features, the 56xx tank
locomotive is one of the most realistic steam driving experiences available for Train
Simulator.
The origins of the 56xx Class locomotive lie among the coal mines of South Wales, where the
0-6-2 locomotive configuration was proved to handle the tightly-curved lines with ease.
Following the 1922 grouping of numerous small railways into large companies, the Great
Western Railway gained the railways of South Wales, including their proven but ageing R and
M Class tank locos.
Having condemned many of the original locomotives as past their working lives, the Great
Western set about replacing them and the 5600 class (or 56xx) was born. They proved to be
powerful machines capable of hauling 40 wagons or more, though there were some
concerns about stability when hauling passenger stock. Introduced in the 1920s, the 56xx
soldiered on through the Second World War and into the 1960s, proving itself a tough and
versatile locomotive. In total, 200 were built, early versions having tapered buffers rather
than the parallel buffers of later examples, and nine survive in preservation today.
The 56xx Class for Train Simulator, developed by Peter Gillam, is available in three control
modes and a variety of liveries, including Great Western Railway ‘Shirt Button’ and large logo
variants, and pre and post 1956 BR liveries. The main features of the locomotive include
cylinder cocks with prototypical operation and dynamic cylinder cock steam, ejector
operated brake vacuum creation including leakage management, feathered safety valves,
dynamic smoke effects, notched reverser, operational reverser locking lever, steam leak
effects when stationary, mason's valve and steam heating valve affect the heating system
pressure gauge, custom head code lamps which can be set from the cab, operational water
tank gauge, dual chime whistle with working in-cab chains and external steam blasts, plus
operable front and rear windows, doors, seats and roof and window panels.
