Trainz 22: VR C Locomotive - SSR Pack 1

The VR C Locomotive – SSR Pack 1 DLC for Trainz Railroad Simulator 2022 was developed by Barisbeer and published by N3V Games. It was released on 27 June 2025 and adds a new selection of Australian locomotives to the simulator. This pack focuses on locomotives originally built for Victorian Railways but later operated by Southern Shorthaul Railroad in their distinctive livery.

The DLC features detailed recreations of the C Class locomotives, which were designed for heavy freight duties. The real locomotives were based on the WAGR L Class and equipped with safety cabs, making them powerful and reliable machines for long-distance hauling. Historically, they worked important routes such as Melbourne to Albury, the Serviceton line, and later expanded to Ballarat–Geelong and the Melbourne–Adelaide corridor after upgrades. The DLC captures their visual design and operational role within the Australian network.

Promotion for the pack was included in N3V Games’ wider marketing of Trainz Railroad Simulator 2022. The publisher highlighted the authenticity of the SSR liveries and the connection to Australian rail history. The DLC was made available through both the Trainz Portal and Steam, giving players an easy way to add this content to their collection alongside other locomotive packs and route expansions.

On release, the VR C Locomotive – SSR Pack 1 DLC received attention from Trainz fans interested in Australian content. While reviews on Steam were not yet numerous, community discussions noted the strong modeling quality and historical accuracy. Players welcomed the chance to operate these locomotives in-game, and the pack was seen as a valuable addition to the growing range of region-specific content for Trainz 2022.
