Class 325 EMU - Released 1st December - Railworks 3

RailSimulator.com have today announced the release date for the forthcoming Class 325 postal EMU. The following is taken from their website.

Available for Train Simulator 2012 from 1 December! Looking like a freight version of the familiar ‘Networker’ classes, the Class 325 is a purpose-built electric mail train capable of running on 25,000-volt AC overhead lines or 750-volt DC third-rail lines. It is based on the Class 319 dual-voltage EMU and was introduced in 1995 to carry parcels on electrified lines, and intended to replace the older generation of locomotive-hauled mail trains. Visually, the most striking feature is the presence of roller-shutter doors instead of sliding passenger doors, and of course the lack of windows! Commonly seen operating along the West Coast Mainline, East Coast Mainline and Edinburgh-Glasgow line, the Class 325 can carry up to 12 tons of mail in each car at speeds up to 100mph. Complete with parcel trolleys and working shutters doors, and the dual-voltage pick-up systems the Class 325 is available from 1 December.
