About This Content Slam door multiple units were a much loved and classic sight on the UK capital’s rail network from the 1950s onwards, and now one such unit – the Class 415 ‘4EPB’ – comes to Train Simulator, perfect for the South London Network route.Introduced in 1951, the ‘4EPB’ (4-car, Electro-Pneumatic Brakes) was a classic southern ‘slam-door’ third-rail EMU which had a career spanning 44 years, and became the most numerous class on the region after the withdrawal of Class 405 ‘4SUBS’. Each four-car set was comprised of two powered driving cars and two trailers, originally with compartment seating but later refurbished with open seating.The units were designed for a mixture of inner-city and suburban operations on third third-rail DC lines out of south London, and a top speed of 75mph (121km/h) was enough for runs further out of town.In 1960, the first British Rail designed units were introduced, based on then current Mk1 Suburban stock. A refurbishment of the Class in the late 1970s and early 1980s saw compartment stock converted to open saloons, and both seating and luggage racks replaced with standard Mk2 fittings.Despite their numerous numbers, the 4EPBs were withdrawn from service by 1995, with one four-car unit preserved.The Class 415 ‘4EPB’ for Train Simulator is available in Network SouthEast livery as a Class 415/6 variant, indicating refurbished stock of BR design. Features of the model include passenger view, slam-door sound effects, guard’s whistle when setting off, and high intensity headlamp.The locomotive is also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive the Network SouthEast Class 415 ‘4EPB’ on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train Simulator, such as those available through Steam. Also included are scenarios specifically for the South London Network route (available separately and required to play these scenarios).ScenariosThree scenarios for the South London Network route:Evening RushMorning Commute to VictoriaTake it to the BridgeMore scenarios are available on Steam Workshop online and in-game.

I think it's great. I love this DLC. The sounds and feel of the train brings back memories. Some nice scenarios too. Sometimes though I find that I apply the brakes and the train creeps to a slow halt even if the train is going up hill. Sometimes the train slows quite fast. It's made me miss stations and reds a few times.. Great train takes me back to my younger years when going to London and seeing these every few minutes pulling into London bridge. The interior is great, the breaking system is hard to judge too much and you stop to fast once you get the hang of it it's a dream to use. Just waiting on some workshop missions to come along.. Got max points on one of the scenarios and gained no XP points! Should have made it in the top 10. Its not the first time this sim has done this.As for the Add-on, the brakes become non-responsive some times. If you release these add-ons, check first everything is working correctly!. Really nice EMU set! Great sounds, changable headboard, Really nice passanger and cab view, and really fun to drive! I would 100% reccomend this amazing peice! The only issue i have is that the windows wont open but thats reall about it.. Had to buy this hot off the press as I travelled on this class from the days when they were green then blue then NSE. Great visual quatlity exterior, cab and passenger view. Braking has to be learned. Thoroughly recommend this for all 'classic' Southern EMU fans. Now how about some earlier liverys? Oh! and a 4SUB would be good.. The electropnumatic brakes dont work anymore, they havent fixed in a year. Undrivable, dont buy.. A good add-on for the second week running in, personally. The model of the train is good, as well as the passenger view, with the overhead racks. The driving experience is much better than previous rollsign trains, as you can change them in the cab via 2 handles. Though there is oneside, which is that I find that the brakes don't work very well (if not at all) above 50%, except the emergency brake setting. The brakes above 51% and below emergency seem to have no effect on the speed, despite the brake gauge being higher. Other than that, this is a decent add-on.. Well done DTG. A much higher quality add on. Love the aged look of the paint. Much improved sound from RSC Class 421\/422\/423. Slamming sound when doors are open would be nice though. 411 CEP next please.
