Why this locomotive matters
The Class 90 was introduced in the late 1980s as a flexible electric locomotive capable of handling both passenger and freight services. Under EWS ownership, it became a key workhorse for intermodal and express freight duties across the UK electrified network.
Locomotive 90020 “Collingwood” reflects the tradition of naming EWS locomotives after historical and naval figures, reinforcing identity within a modern freight fleet.
This DCC sound version enhances operational realism, reproducing the distinctive electrical characteristics of modern high-power AC traction.
How to use it
