Trainz 22: GT46C-ACe G1 - Pacific National

The GT46C-ACe G1 – Pacific National DLC for Trainz Railroad Simulator 2022 was developed by Barisbeer and released on September 16, 2025, by N3V Games. This downloadable content introduces the GT46C-ACe G1 locomotives, a class of diesel-electric locomotives designed specifically for Australian conditions. Drawing on earlier Downer EDI Rail models like the narrow-gauge GT42CU AC and the standard-gauge GT46C, the GT46C-ACe G1 features a turbocharged 16-cylinder EMD 710 engine and advanced AC traction systems, making it one of the most powerful classes of locomotive in Australia.

The DLC includes detailed models of the GT46C-ACe G1 locomotives in Pacific National livery. These locomotives are equipped with a Mitsubishi Electric AC traction system, including a TA17 traction alternator, CA9E companion alternator, six ITB 2630 traction motors, and solid-state IGBT inverters. They also feature passive steer bogies to reduce wear on curves. The pack offers players the opportunity to operate these powerful locomotives within the Trainz simulation environment, providing an immersive experience of Australian rail operations.

Promotion for the GT46C-ACe G1 – Pacific National DLC was carried out through official Trainz platforms, including the Steam store and the Trainz Portal. The DLC was highlighted as part of the ongoing effort to provide Trainz players with high-quality, immersive experiences that capture the essence of real-world railroading. The release was positioned as a significant addition for players interested in exploring Australian rail operations and landscapes, particularly those with an interest in the unique characteristics of the GT46C-ACe G1 locomotives.

Upon release, the DLC received positive feedback from the Trainz community, particularly among enthusiasts of Australian railways. Players appreciated the attention to detail in the locomotive models and the inclusion of various features that enhanced the realism of the simulation. The addition of the GT46C-ACe G1 – Pacific National DLC was seen as a valuable contribution to the game's diverse library of content, offering more options for players interested in exploring Australian rail operations within the simulation.
