About the NSWGR 46 Class
The 46 class were a class of mainline electric locomotive built by Metropolitan-Vickers and its partner Beyer, Peacock and Company in England for the New South Wales Government Railways between 1956 and 1958 with a total of 40 locomotives delivered and the first entering service on 25th June 1956. The locomotives were built at Bowesfield Works, Stockton-on-Tees, North East England with electrical equipment supplied by Metropolitan-Vickers from its Trafford Park and Sheffield plants. Metropolitan-Vickers drew on experience gained from its earlier British Railways class 76 and 77 electric locomotives.
The locomotives were purchased as part of the electrification of the Main Western line over the Blue Mountains from Penrith to Bowenfels. They hauled passenger services from Sydney Central including from 1970 the Indian Pacific and freight services from Rozelle and Enfield yards.
From January 1960 they also began to operate to Gosford following the electrification of the Main Northern line. This was later extended to Broadmeadow and Newcastle in June 1984.
From 1968 they hauled coal services from Glenlee Colliery on the Main South line and from January 1986 began to operate to Port Kembla following the Illawarra line being electrified

We will separate the headlights, white markers and red marker lights for a more prototypical operation so you don’t have to remove the loco body to turn lights on and off if not in use. Each pair of front and rear marker lights can be controlled individually or directionally as well as the front and rear headlights. That allows for no rear red marker lights to be on or directional lights coming on in reverse when the loco is carrying a load behind it.
The option of replacing the headlight LEDs for a brighter light is also available.
Factory Lighting
1) Front Headlight, White Markers and Rear Red Markers on/off when travelling forward with the headlight button.
2) Rear Headlight, White Markers and Front Red Markers on/off when travelling in reverse with the headlight button.
DCC Solutions Lighting
For an upgrade to 6 Function Standard Light Modification we can separate the lights as follows:
1) Front Headlight - on/off directionally with the headlight button
2) Rear Headlight - on/off directionally with the headlight button
3) Front White Markers - on/off with 1 function button
4) Front Red Markers - on/off with 1 function button
5) Rear White Markers - on/off with 1 function button
6) Rear Red Markers - on/off with 1 function button
Also included is a Low Beam to High Beam Headlight Function. The headlight will operate at low beam as default and by pressing a function button you toggle between low and high beam headlights. Marker Lights will always remain at a constant brightness level.
The DCC Solutions 46 Class Custom Sound Project is packed with sounds and features not found on other sound decoders
Coasting on Demand
This feature allows you to enter coasting mode whenever you want with a press of a button.Often when coming to a stop, the throttle of a real locomotive is put into Idle and the locomotive coasts to a stop. Another situation that occurs is that once a train is up to speed when operating over
rolling countryside, the driver can coast to maintain a certain speed. By pressing the coast function button, the sound drops into coasting and remains there. Using the throttle speed control, you can now speed up or slow down the train with the sound remaining in coasting mode.
Press the function button to exit coasting and the sound will exit and return to whatever speed is set when exiting.
Working Brake
Press the Brake Function button and your locomotive will come to a stop at a much shorter distance than if you were to bring it to a stop by reducing the throttle speed. Release the brake and your locomotive will move off again or choose to have it remain stationary when the brake is released.
Working Regenerative Braking (Dynamic Brake)
Apply the Regenerative Brakes and the Prime Mover will wind down to idle while the Cooling Fans engage to assist with cooling. Reduce the throttle and the decoder's dynamic motor logic will reduce your speed faster than normal. Disengage Regenerative Braking and the primer mover will returned to it's notched speed and the fans will turn off.
Random Start-up Sequences with Move Off and Stopping Sounds
Now with random start-up sequences your start up and shut down will not always sound the same.
As your locomotive begins to move off you will hear the sounds of brakes releasing with random speed activated wheel squeal, rail noises and other sounds. Some of these sounds are random or speed sensitive that will turn on/off automatically depending on your take off speed. When the locomotive comes to a stop you will hear the squeal of the brakes, air releases and then the compressor will cut in automatically to fill the reservoirs with air until full and will cut out.
And includes all these great features to make your Auscision 46 Class drive and sound impressive.
