Class 456 EMU review ~ Train Simulator

[@XNick291X]

Without extending every platform in South London, 10 cars are the maximum you can have on suburban services

[@Viper-CT]

In case you didn't know, the class 456 recordings for the traction motors have been re-used in many other AP Packs, mainly the class 37 vol 1 & 2 packs and the class 50 on their traction motor sounds, I don't know why, maybe because they where similar in sound? Whatever the reason, it's there if you didn't already know it, just crank the motor factor up and you'll hear the 456 motor sounds.

9:37 there were plans for NSE to extend most plattforms to 12 car lenghts , but due to limited funding it wasnt fully done and most plattforms went 10 car lenghts , and also due to the cost of capital investment , especially in infrastructure in a private system it was cheaper to just have 456 refurbished to form 10 car consists alongside 455s

i swear in the trailer of this train the motor was from the original 455 sound pack

[@SimsandThings]

SWT was obsessed with 10 car trains as the majority of their stations were built as 10-car stations. It's a throwback to the days of two 5-car units being coupled together. But with 4-car units, two means wasted platform capacity, but four means that two cars don't have platform access, which can be a problem during the busy peak period if people are crammed on and can't move through the train. Hence, the obsession with 10-car trains

Southern never even had 5-car units. From LSWR days to modern times, the south has steadfastly used 3 or 4+2 car units. The only 5-car units I can think of are the 5-BELs

[@DC4260Productions]

The present-day Southern does have five car units; namely the Class 377/6 and 377/7.

@@DC4260Productions ah, thanks for reminding me. Tho when the 456s were introduced there still weren’t any 5-car units

Please do a review of the Virtual District Line

[@DC4260Productions]

I can't run that route because I don't own JT's Metropolitan Line, and I'm not sure if or when I'll pick it up.

[@westernregion104]

@@DC4260Productions tbh the Met line is pricey, most JT products are quite expensive now, you can run the route without it the signals won’t spawn in though.

Hello, is there any chance for a kind individual to send me the zip codes to download the now discontinued ap class 43 MTU ep, class 47, 55, 57 and 92 sound packs (if they have a pro version, that would be preferable) as they can't be purchased any longer from their website? I'd like to improve the very old sounds on the kuju class 47 & 55 and be able to download some 92 and 57 reskins and I am desperate to run an MTU hst. Please and thank you.
