Today, I am requesting that the class 465/0/1 is added to TSW4. What's the difference between the Class 465/0/1 and the Class 465/9 you may ask? The Class 465/0/1 is equipped with Hitachi traction motors which are similar sounding to the Class 395. External variations are found upon the 465/0/1 such as Pressure Ventilator grilles on the body, new under-carriage equipment and the front of the train. The 465/0 and /1 have Regenerative Braking (compared to the 465/9 which in real life have them permanently isolated). and the window surrounds look slightly different to the /9. The 465/0 and /1 also have no first class compared to the 465/9. Class 465/1 at Tonbridge Overall, its a tad more than just a sound modification but hopefully it is still worthwhile! That brings us to the end of my suggestion. Thank you for reading.
Would be best saved for a new route such as the Chatham Main Line into London Victoria, instead of as another DLC for SEHS. It could even be backdated with the original BREL/ABB factory-fitted motors for an NSE era route running alongside slam door stock.
Just on a petty side note, even the 465/9s do not have First Class anymore as SouthEastern abolished 1st Class travel earlier this year! As a Southern Region Electrics enthusiast myself, I'd like to see the subclasses, but it would take some time to model them all. The 465/2 was also the first subclass to feauture on TSC, and it wasn't until the original Chatham Mainline that we saw a BREL 465/0 and even that was very poor until AP released their enhancement pack. We can hope? But in TSW we seem to get one sub class variant at a time... I think the only time a real 'subclass' has been feautured is when we got the Northern version of the 323, giving us both the Northern and WMR versions with all their minor differences.
