    Max Tracks has announced on ATS FB page the creation of Class 304/305/308/504 for TSC.

    " As promised, I'm here to announce the first of (hopefully many) AI rolling stock packs for Train Sim Classic, designed to bring some of the long-absent units to the game for all your scenario needs [​IMG]

    Starting with the Class 304/504/305/308s (as a few commenters guessed!), I hope to cover as many of the variants and liveries these units carried as practical, with a few already in-game shown here.

    For now the aim is just to make these as stock for non-player trains in scenarios, but if there's sufficient interest (and source- 308 cab pics seem practically non existent) then there's always the potential for player-driveable upgrades later.

    The pack is currently work in progress while we're waiting for route builder availability to complete the Leeds North West Route, alongside work on the Class 333 cab and internals."

    Just AI for the start but it can go from there.

    Looks absolutely mega! Fills in a very nice gap, even if it is just for AI.

    Would be nice to see a 310 - even as an AI only train - as another model. I have a few WCML scenarios, for which I used the 303 BR Blue reskin as a makeshift 310, which could do with a better representation. :)

    Overall, very excited for it to release! Best of luck to the developer! :D

    Whilst I don't delve into Train Sim Classic too often these days, the prospect of Leeds Skipton is exciting and even better
    with some first gen AC EMU's (a cry out for I often make) - if we can get a cab even if it's not 100% accurate, hope we can start driving these too, would love a 310 or 312, but let's at least see these first.

    I said on the Facebook post that the models are far too nice to just be AI. They really deserve to be driveable, even if the cabs aren't 100% accurate.

    I know the Colne Valley Railway Class 308 vehicle is missing a lot of the interior, but I wonder how much of the cab remains
