The BR Class 86/2 & Mk2F Coaches Arrive in Train Sim World!

Train Sim World players, it’s time to embrace a true icon of British electric traction! The BR Class 86/2, alongside the air-conditioned Mk2F Coaches and Mk1 RMB Buffet Car, has arrived in Train Sim World 5 — and it’s everything fans of classic UK rail have been waiting for.

Developed by the talented team at Just Trains, this detailed and challenging add-on is more than just a locomotive — it’s a full experience for those who love precision, immersion, and nostalgia.

 

🚄 What’s Included?

 

The Powerful BR Class 86/2

Step into the cab of one of Britain’s most distinctive AC electric locomotives. Built as a sub-class of the 86/0 and upgraded with improved suspension to tackle rough riding and track wear, the Class 86/2 is a formidable machine capable of reaching speeds up to 100 MPH. It’s the direct predecessor to the Class 87 and was a staple of the West Coast Main Line, hauling both express passengers and freight.

 

With this pack, you’ll:

  • Manage power gaps with precision — power down before entering a neutral section and power back up after!
  • Reset circuit breakers manually in the accessible machine room.
  • Operate complex controls, switches, and indicators just like the real thing.
  • Enjoy a fully immersive authentic sound set that captures the heart of this classic electric loco.
  •  

Liveries and Scenarios

Eight authentic liveries are included for the Class 86/2, offering both variety and realism. You’ll also find five custom-crafted scenarios designed for the Just Trains West Coast Main Line: Preston – Carlisle route — giving you meaningful challenges and variety across different driving conditions.

 

Mk2F & Mk1 Coaches

The pack also introduces:

  • Mk2F Coaches in BSO, TSO, and FO variants
  •  
  • BR Blue/Grey and InterCity liveries
  •  
  • Mk1 RMB Buffet Car also in both liveries
  •  

These coaches feature updated interiors, air conditioning, and more modern rectangular windows — bringing a refreshing upgrade from older Mk1 rolling stock.

 

🎨 Compatible with Livery Designer

As always, creativity is encouraged. All vehicles included in the pack are fully Livery Designer compatible, so you can add your personal touch or replicate historical designs with ease.

From the beautifully modelled cabs and working machine room to the satisfying challenge of neutral section management, this pack offers depth and realism for dedicated simmers.

Add in the variety of liveries and detailed scenarios on a top-tier route, and this becomes a must-have for any fan of British rail. If you love electric locos that demand attention and skill, you’ll be right at home here."
