DS68A NEW CLASS 68 SOUNDFILE FOR ESU

DS68A Clas 68 Loksound sound project information.

The Class 68 is a type of mainline mixed traffic diesel-electric locomotive manufactured by Stadler Rail (and

previously by Vossloh España) for Direct Rail Services (DRS) in the United Kingdom. The design is derived from the

Stadler Eurolight, and Stadler's product name for this variant is the UKLight.

On 5 January 2012, DRS announced the placement of an order for fifteen Class 68 locomotives, the first of which

arriving in the UK during January 2014. DRS testing determined the type to have satisfied its specification and to be

suitable for operations. The first batch of Class 68s was quickly followed by a second batch, also intended for DRS

and the first to be built by Stadler; the delivery of these units was completed during April 2016.

A third batch of Class 68s was also ordered, deliveries of which were completed during July 2017. The Class 68 has

since been followed by two closely-associated locomotives, the Class 88 and Class 93.
