BR Class 444 | Siemens Desiro | SWT

53.8k CoolPeach  5.3 years ago

Overview

Must use with this. Sorry iOS users.

Just a short build I wanted to make to test out some of the rail maps. So I built a BR Class 444 EMU (SWT livery) around destroyerP’s latest train map to test it, and it works fairly well there. In real life these trains have 5 cars, but to lower part count and lag I’ve reduced it to 3 cars.

Controls:

AG1 - Open Passenger Doors
AG8 - Invert Headlights/Rearlights
Trim - Throttle
Brake - Brake

Pictures:

Information:

Class 444 Desiro electric multiple-unit (EMU) trains were built in Austria by Siemens in 2002–2004 for use in England on express passenger services operated by South West Trains (SWT). They entered service in 2004.

Notes:

On track 2 (curved) of destroyerP’s map, the train can only handle certain curves at certain speeds:
- Curve 1 = 30mph
- Curve 2 = 50mph
- S-Curve 3 = 75 mph
- S-Curve 4 = 90mph

Braking distance = 1-2 train lengths (depending on speed)

    I have tried Traindudes Railway mod too, it’s pretty decent but the track isn’t very smooth so the trains top speed is only like 30mph. I personally haven’t used the high speed rail cause it doesn’t work for this train :/, but you certainly could if you feel like there are people out there who would benefit from it.

    @CoolPeach Np! I glad you like it, I have a dilemma if I should update my railway mod for the last time just to overhaul the entire high speed rail. And btw, have you tried traindude’s railway mod?

    Haven't travelled on a 444 but I bet it's a damnsight better than those horrible Pacers.
    They still haunt the Carlisle-Newcastle Line!
    Then again I do like my Class 37/Mk2 service that takes me to work down the Cumbrian Coast. When it ain't pitch black it's an awesome view.

    Nice build indeed. Now, where's the webpage with exorbitant train fares at?

    Looks really nice, it kinda looks like an IE 22000 class with shoes and end gangways.
