UK BR Class 86 Phoenix

BRITISH RAIL CLASS 86/2 — 86219 “PHOENIX” | BR BLUE Bring the classic West Coast Main Line electric era to Transport Fever 3 with No. 86219 “Phoenix”, recreated in British Rail blue with yellow cab fronts, white BR double-arrow insignia, its Phoenix nameplate and an original-style articulated pantograph. MOD FEATURES • Class 86/2 Bo-Bo electric locomotive in BR Blue with distinct 86219 numbering and Phoenix nameplates. • Metallic-coated blue body paint, separate white logos and lettering, yellow warning panels, dark grey metallic roof and detailed roof equipment. • Detailed bogies and underframe with painted black steel, metallic wheels, suspension, buffers and fittings. • Two curve-following bogie assemblies, aligned to the locomotive’s model pivot points. • Original-model pantograph rig with animated upper and lower arms and a level contact head. The controller is configured to respond to TF3 overhead-wire height and folds lower when no catenary position is available. • Direction-dependent lighting: three bright white forward lamps per cab, visible by day and night, plus brighter red tail lamps on the trailing cab. • Electrically powered locomotive with 100 mph (161 km/h) maximum speed in the mod, 3,013 kW configured power, 267 kN configured tractive effort and an 82-tonne configured mass. • Generic electric locomotive sound set. The bogies steer on curves; this release does not include active body-tilt animation, independent spinning wheel animation or a bespoke Class 86 sound recording. Pantograph-to-wire contact and the revised lights should be checked in-game before treating this build as fully verified. THE REAL 86219 “PHOENIX” The Class 86 began as British Rail's AL6 design for the newly electrified West Coast Main Line. One hundred examples were built in 1965–66 by British Rail's Doncaster Works and English Electric at Vulcan Foundry. The class became a familiar sight on express passenger, parcels and freight workings under 25 kV AC overhead wires. Locomotive E3196 was one of the English Electric/Vulcan Foundry-built machines and entered service in December 1965. Later renumbered 86219 under British Rail's TOPS system, it carried the name “Phoenix”, applied at Willesden on 6 August 1979. The locomotive was withdrawn from service and scrapped in 2002 at Immingham. This mod pays tribute to a distinctive West Coast electric locomotive that is no longer with us.
