Trainz 22: C44aci Locomotive - GWA/ORA Pack

The C44aci Locomotive – GWA/ORA Pack for Trainz Railroad Simulator 2022 was developed by Barisbeer and released on 24 March 2025. Published by N3V Games, this downloadable content (DLC) introduces Australian heavy-duty diesel-electric locomotives to the game. Designed by UGL Rail and built at the Broadmeadow factory, the C44aci model is based on the National Rail NR class but features modifications and upgraded components. These locomotives have become a standard in Australian rail freight operations, serving various operators across the country.

The DLC includes two locomotives: GWA GWU 12+ and ORA GWU (Ex GWA) 23+. Both locomotives are equipped with full PBR texturing, highly detailed custom cabs, animated doors and windows, and functional number boards with external light toggles. Additional features include custom scripting, emissive lighting, dynamic brake sounds, and realistic traction motor sounds. The locomotives also offer interactive elements such as blinds that can be raised or lowered and coupler flags that can be toggled on or off, enhancing the immersive experience for players.

Promotion for the C44aci Locomotive – GWA/ORA Pack was carried out through the 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.

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 these locomotives was seen as a valuable contribution to the game's diverse library of content, offering more options for players interested in Australian rail operations.
