UK British GWR Class 800/802 — Electric Edition

GWR CLASS 800/802 — ELECTRIC EDITION Experience the Great Western Railway Intercity Express Train in its electric-powered Transport Fever 3 edition. Run long intercity services under overhead wires, explore compatible third-rail networks, and create anything from a compact three-car train to a full-length seventeen-car formation.

LIVE NEXT-STATION DISPLAY The front destination screen features a live illuminated green LED display that automatically shows the train's next scheduled station on its assigned line. Station names change as the train progresses. FEATURES • 15 complete Multiple Unit formations, from 3 to 17 carriages, including familiar 5- and 9-car arrangements and additional custom-length formations. • Organised vehicle store: complete sets in Multiple Units, DPTF and DPTS driving cars grouped under Locomotives, and five passenger-carriage types (MS, MSC, MC, MF and TS) grouped under Wagons. • Detailed GWR dark-green exterior, yellow cab ends, metallic finish, authentic-looking roof equipment and distinct menu artwork for the trains and carriages. • Passenger seating, driver-cab seating and controls, partition walls, finished floors and ceilings, dark-tinted transparent windows and illuminated passenger interiors. • Animated plug-sliding passenger doors, moving roof ventilation fans, and directional headlights, marker lights and red tail lights. • Dynamic body tilt up to 8° into curves, returning to upright on straight track, with bogies and wheel assemblies remaining separate from the tilting car body. • Animated pantographs that respond to overhead catenary height and return to their folded position on low-height third-rail electrification or track without overhead supply. • Enhanced multi-layer soundscape with horn, compressor, door movements, rail-joint clacks, running and flange sounds. • High-performance TF3 tuning with a custom 240 mph maximum setting. This is a gameplay enhancement, not the real train’s 125 mph service limit. • Electric propulsion with layered electric traction and acceleration audio, separate carriage running sounds, and catenary-aware pantograph movement on both driving cars. THE REAL GWR CLASS 800 AND CLASS 802 The real GWR Intercity Express Train (IET) family was developed by Hitachi as part of a major renewal of Britain’s Great Western main-line fleet. Class 800 trains entered GWR passenger service on 16 October 2017, initially on services linking Bristol Temple Meads and London Paddington. They progressively replaced much of the older InterCity 125 High Speed Train fleet. The related Class 802 followed in 2018, with larger fuel tanks and higher-rated diesel power intended for longer journeys and the demanding gradients of the West Country. Class 800 and Class 802 units were produced in real-world five- and nine-coach formations and were designed to operate as bi-mode trains: taking power from 25 kV AC overhead wires where available and using onboard diesel generation away from the electrified network. Their normal UK service maximum is 125 mph. These two TF3 editions separate the diesel and electric operating styles for gameplay.
