Train Simulator: Armstrong Powerhouse Class 321 Electric Multiple Unit Pack

The Armstrong Powerhouse Class 321 Electric Multiple Unit Pack, developed in association with Waggonz, sets a new standard for realism and detail in Train Simulator. This pack is widely regarded as the definitive representation of the Class 321 family within the simulation, excelling in visuals, sounds, and functionality. It features high-definition textures that bring the trains to life with impressive accuracy and detail. The pack includes the Class 320 in two liveries, Class 321 in thirteen liveries, and the Class 322 in one livery, offering a broad range of historically and regionally accurate appearances.

The simulation boasts detailed internal and external audio that faithfully reproduces the sounds of these electric multiple units. Players benefit from driver-approved acceleration and braking physics, ensuring the units behave just as they do in real life. The pack offers a prototypical three-step brake and power controller and features a driver-only or guard operation option, catering to different operational styles. The electronic destination displays are also faithfully recreated, featuring both the older triangle-based and newer dot matrix variants, adding to the authenticity.

Additional operational features include an optional Driver Vigilance Device (DVD) and a selection of ‘Quick Drive’ consists for rapid deployment. The attention to detail extends beyond the trains themselves, with eight highly realistic and engaging scenarios included. Seven of these scenarios cover the DTG GEML London to Ipswich route, while one is set on the DTG ECML London to Peterborough route. These scenarios are based on official timetables, featuring realistic train formations of 4, 8, or 12 cars as appropriate, complete with accurate headcodes, departure times, origins, and destinations.

It is important to note that this pack is not compatible with external controllers such as Xbox or RailDriver, ensuring it is optimized for use within the standard Train Simulator environment. With its meticulous attention to historical and operational detail, the Class 321 Electric Multiple Unit Pack from Armstrong Powerhouse offers players an immersive and highly authentic experience of these iconic British trains.
