I thought I would start the line up with Freddie the F class.
VICTORIAN RAILWAYS & THE STATE ELECTRICITY COMMISSION ENGLISH ELECTRIC F CLASS 0-6-0 DIESEL ELECTRIC SHUNTING LOCOMOTIVES.

The VR Class F locomotives were 0-6-0 shunters.
Initially the F Class classification was given to Steam Locomotive Shunters. In 1951 the (new) F Class were the first ever diesel locomotives to be introduced to the Victorian Railways

16 identical units were built by English Electric Co. Ltd., England 1951 to the then British Railways 08 shunting locomotive design modified to 5'3' broad-gauge.
10 units (Nos310 - 319) were for the Victorian Railways;
and 6 units (Nos1 - 6) for the State Electricity Commission of Victoria for shunting at the Yallourn, Morwell and Newport Powerhouse rail sidings.

The class was renumbered (Nos201 - 210) to free the 300-319 number series for the S-class diesel-electric locomotives. The SECV units were subsequently absorbed into the VR fleet becoming Nos211 - 216 (ex SECV 3,4,5,6,1,2). Modifications included removal of dual control and conversion to auto coupling.
These need some additional files to work and information on this is supplied in the Readme contained in the zip.

The Victorian Railways X class mainline diesel electric locomotives were built by Clyde Engineering from 1966 with a further two orders being placed in 1970 and 1975. They saw similar use to the S class, working though to Sydney from 1982 on express passenger trains such as the Spirit of Progress.
The original order of 6 locomotives were fitted with EMD 16-567E engines with a power output of 1350 kW (1840 HP), but for the second and third orders of 8 and 10 locomotives it was increased to 1650 kW (2240 HP) by the specification of updated EMD 16-645E engines, Two X class locos were built to replace locomotives S314 and S316, which were destroyed in the Southern Aurora crash on 7 February 1969

The New South Wales 40 class were one of the first mainline diesel electric locomotives to be built for New South Wales. Built by the Montreal Locomotive Works of Montreal, Quebec, Canada, they were based on the ALCO RSC-3 design.
There were subtle deviations from the standard RSC-3 built by the American Locomotive Company. These included a cab that angled inwards below the cab windows to reduce the width of the locomotive at the eaves of the cab roof, and placement of the handrails on the car body rather than the standard walkway arrangement.

you will also need to download a cab file from here and install as per the instructions.

The 47 class is a class of diesel-electric locomotive that was operated by the New South Wales Government Railways in Australia. Twenty locomotives were built altogether, intended for use on branchline services. The 47 class have a Caterpillar 16-D399TA engine, generating 840 kW / 1125 hp of power. They run on standard gauge and have Co-Co axles, with a maximum speed of 113 km/h. The class have a length of 15.26 m and a mass of 82 t. These units were praised for their fine riding qualities, but were notorious for their frequency in engine failures.

Railtractors were found in industrial areas and small yards where the amount of traffic didnt warrant a full size shunting locomotive.
The model has the sound and cabviews aliased to the Kiha and GP38 and will work from install.
A Light Engine consist is also supplied for your convenience.
