Fictional British Rail Class 78

Description
POV: You need to feed your crippling addiction to buying model buses.

Imagine its the early 1970s, the need for heavy express passenger trains in the southern Region is growing and you need something to haul them. Here's a loco for the job, a DC version of the Class 87, the Class 78. Now, imagine its 1980 something and you need a super sleek new fleet of trains to run on the newly electrified line to Weymouth from Bournemouth, the West Coast Mainline is seeing a shiny new fleet of streamlined locomotives and DVTs. Why build an entirely new unit to fill this spot; get your own set of DVTs and Mk3 coaches, and run them with the 78s.

- 100mph top speed
- 260kN tractive effort
- 2500kW
- Available in 4 liveries, first appearing in 1973
- Assets

Thanks to Funclive for doing the base liveries.
Thanks to SouthernSuccess for doing screenshots (I dont have third rail).

This mod was commissioned by that BettiesBeans dude or whatever hes called.

Not enough? Maybe becoming a patron is for you then!

@SpaceToaster MadHatter has made a mod for electrified third rail tracks with no catenary, I recommend that.

The model is amazing! But I have a little curiosity... is it possible to add the locomotive on 3rd rail tracks without overhead wires? In the pictures I see the train running fine, but in my playthrough I wasn't able to make my trains run because they are electric and I wanted to avoid the overhead wires on my 3rd rail tracks.

I'd use it as a Class 73 instead...until there is a Class 73 on the Workshop

its an electric locomotive, but i think it would be beter listed as a deisel one due to electrified 3rd rail not being well integrated in the game.

It says DC in the description and you can see the pick-up shoes in the photos.
