📋 About This Mod
In 1982, British Rail was split into independant sectors, with freight operations given their own identity with dedicated rolling stock and branding under the banner of Railfreight. This was further divided in 1987, when Railfreight was split based on traffic types - Trainload Freight for bulk cargo, Railfreight Distribution for containers, and Railfreight General for the rest.
The liveries for these are all recreated in this pack for the DE6, along with those given to engineering departmental locomotives. DE6 Slug variations are also included to avoid stretched logos.
Requires Skin Manager
Two versions are available:
- []Number Manager - Skins with changeable numbers using Number Manager. Will have blank numbers if loaded without.
-
[]Static numbers - Skins with static numbers. Does not require Number Manager.
For this pack, it is recommended to uncheck "Allow DE6 Skins for Slugs" in the Skin Manager options.
DE6 Liveries included:
Railfreight Red Stripe (1982) - The original Railfreight livery for locomotives with a solebar, like the DE6.
Railfreight Grey (1982) - A variation of Railfreight livery for monocoque locomotives without a solebar. Technically unsuited for the DE6, but I just really like it.
Sector Petroleum (1987) - Trainload Freight's livery for bulk oil trains. Depot plaque for Immingham.
Sector Construction (1987) - Trainload Freight's livery for bulk stone, aggregate and sand trains. Depot plaque for Westbury.
Sector Metals (1987) - Trainload Freight's livery for bulk steel trains. Depot plaque for Cardiff Canton.
Sector Coal (1987) - Trainload Freight's livery for bulk coal trains. Depot plaque for Toton.
Sector Distribution (1987) - Railfreight Distribution's livery for container trains and also (from 1989) wagonload ("Speedlink") trains. Depot plaque for Tinsley.
Sector General (1987) - Railfreight General's short-lived livery, which handled the remainder of freight such as bulk china clay and wagonload trains. Was merged into Railfreight Distribution in 1989. Depot plaque for Plymouth Laira.
RfD (1992) - Railfreight Distribution'
A cosmetic skin pack for the DE6 and DE6 Slug locomotives, featuring 1980/90s British Rail freight liveries. Requires Skin Manager, with optional Number Manager support. Small but dedicated following (6 endorsements).
✨ Key Features

For Derail Valley players who crave authenticity and want their DE6 fleet to look like proper 80s/90s British Rail freight locos. If you're into era-specific liveries and don't mind fiddling with Skin Manager, this is your jam. Skip if you prefer modern or fictional paint schemes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure Skin Manager is installed and updated before adding this pack, or the skins won't appear in-game.
- If you want custom numbers, grab Number Manager too — it's optional but adds that extra touch.
- Check the mod's page for any load order notes, as skin packs sometimes conflict if multiple are active.
