Today, Just Trains revealed a boatload of info on the upcoming release of TfW Class 142 for Train Sim World 6, and that it will add new gameplay and DMU variants upon release on November 25, 2025.
Trains Sim World 6 originally announced the TfW Class 142 as part of its upcoming roadmap earlier this year, promising to take fans back to the Trafnidiaeth Cymru days of yesteryear, transforming the locomotive to reflect the teal-toned Pacers as they were in their last years of Welsh operation. You’ll be able to shuttle around the Cardiff City Network in Nodding Donkey, revisiting the locale with a brand-new 2019 timetable.
The trains include the TfW Class 142 Pacer, Class 150 DMU, and Class 153 DMU, and will feature the following updates to reflect the contemporary style of the train:
- LED Headlights
- Two-leaf bi-fold doors (replacing Four-leaf bi-fold doors)
- Updated door open/close operating buttons
- Sanding equipment fitted
- Non-operational ‘smash glass to access’ emergency door handle
- NRN and GSM-R antennas added to the roof
- New seat design and authentic moquette
- Operational DRA and TPWS
Passenger announcements will be done by an authentic native Welshman and will function the same way as the Blackpool Branches Pacer, being activated by a manual button in the cab. A selection of new Scenarios are also included, though it is important to note that these services will require Tees Valley Line and Class 86/2 loco (for the Mk2f Coaches) to operate.
Train Sim World 6: Transport for Wales BR Class 142 DMU will be available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Epic Games Store, and Steam for $16.99. If you simply can’t wait to feast your eyes on it, be sure to tune into the Preview Stream, which will take place on November 24, the day before release, on the official Just Trains YouTube Channel.
