About This Content One of the newest electric multiple units for the Northeast Corridor comes to Train Simulator in Metro-North’s familiar bare metal and red livery.Built by Kawasaki at Lincoln, Nebraska for use on the New Haven Line, the M8 first entered service in March 2011 as a replacement to the current fleet of M2, M4 and M6 multiple units. Similar in body style to the M7, more than 300 units have been delivered to Metro-North so far, and feature multiple power pick-up – third rail and overhead pantograph – which can be changed by the engineer whilst on the move.The two-car Kawasaki M8 has a top speed of 100mph (161km/h) and the model for Train Simulator features driving cabs and passenger views, switchable power modes and dynamic in-cab display screens showing instrument readouts and power pick-up mode.The locomotive is also Quick Drive compatible, giving you the freedom to drive the Metro-North Kawasaki M8 on any Quick Drive enabled route for Train Simulator, such as those available through Steam. Also included are scenarios specifically for the NEC: New York-New Haven route (available separately and required to play these scenarios).ScenariosFour scenarios for the NEC: New York-New Haven route:Simple Controls Tutorial: M8 Simple ControlsExpert Controls Tutorial: M8 Expert ControlsGrand Central BoundStamford LocalMore scenarios are available on Steam Workshop online and in-game.

It has cable and 3rd rail use. I like driving it alot. First Metr-North train made so now you can use it on the New Canaan Branch or the line to GCT on the route. I recommend this locomotive.. Really well design, but the 15 mph alert is killing me. Train is bugging on some other addon routes. Can recommend if you use the suggested route, but not for others.... Well first and foremost, lets clear some things up about this DLC... Those who are still reporting an FPS frop must have other issues - the patch back in December corrected the issue, which wasn't as wide spread\/as big an FPS hit as was proclaimed by some users. And also the 15 mile an hour limit that some are hitting is due to their inability to read\/understand directions or how to disable the alerter. But you can also find that out by reading forums, and by looking at youtube videos of the train zipping along at 90+ mph.That said, this was a highly anticipated piece of stock and it fits perfectly with the New York to New Haven line. And while this is not a perfect DLC - nothing is. Not any more at lease... For those who want to add the most recognizable piece of metro north's rolling stock definately look past those misinformed reviews and into picking this up.. Its a good DLC for Railworks, the interior is nice and so is the passenger view, its hard to coast at 0% throttle sometimes, lags in the passenger view and its easy to lose points in carrer scenarios when stopping, but its not too hard to overcome that. 8\/10. The Kawasaki M8 EMU (now that it has since been patched) has improved to a playable state, and is a decent, highly detailed piece of DLC. Some of the sounds are recycled, but with the improvments such as darker windows, and the large FPS improvement (about double the framerates for me), I can finally recommend this DLC to anyone who wants to add to their NY-NH line collection.. This train looks nice, and is pretty fun to drive. The textures look pretty good, the train is easy to control, although the sounds are not that good. I would recommend this train when on sale, but probably not at full price.. THIS SOUNDS LIKE A 395 !!!!!!
