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.

The Kawasaki M8 EMU adds both a new spin on the NEC: NY-NH route, as well showing American Railroading in a far more European fashion.Pros:-This is the only American EMU in the game so far, as opposed to the USA, for the most part, being long distance express hauls. In comparison to the default Amtrak services, the M8 has a much more "European" style, with more accelerated speed ups and braking, and far more stops along the route. This is really fun to do in an American environment, and I am very pleased to see a TRUE commuter service like this one integrated so well.-The locomotive is detailed wonderfully. The in-cab controls and signalling look fantastic, the passenger view is superb, and the locomotive itself is beautiful.-The train really opens up the rest of the NEC: NY-NH route. Along with being able to realistically stop at MUCH more stations along the New Rochelle-New Haven mainline, it is now possible to drive the train from GCT-Pelham, deep inside the big apple itself. This extension takes the route in a whole new direction, really going through the heart of the city, rather than just around it. The New Canaan branch is a really good example of a suburban branchline, that truly does need to be explored as well.Cons:-I know this isn't really what people want to hear, but its difficult to really give a con for this. I wouldn't say anything is really inadequate.This is actually a really fantastic bit of DLC. Now that the lag bugs have been sorted out, I'd say this is truly a MUST if you own the NEC: NY-NH. Its quite a lot of fun to drive, and it opens up the route in ways that having only the ACS-64 could never dream of accomplishing.. The Metro-North Kawasaki M8 is good, the details are amazing but they're some problems with both the physics and sounds, the sounds don't match the M8 in real life at all except for the horn which you can't really hold out, its only like a little "toot". The physics aren't good eathier as the acceleration is slow and the braking is just wrong. Last but not least, the destination sign on the top and sides of the train do work but only for career and some workshop scenarios for thoes scenario creators who know how to make the destination sign work which is only a few. The destination sign should have like a button like the Acela or using the control panel on the train. However, I do reccomend this only because its needed for most scenarios, it goes good with the route and as long as you have Fan Railers (cActUsjUiCe is his steam account") mods for the train, its almost flawless and makes up for it huge since not only does it completly change the train via physics and sounds, its free! In conclusion, I do recommend this DLC but for only the 3 limited reasons.. This is just your average EMU (although we don't have a lot of American EMUs on Steam). It's easy to operate, and is pretty much similar to any other EMU I have driven in my 1100 hours of Train Simulator.But, if you have the New York - New Haven line, this EMU opens up the section to Grand Central Terminal. In addition, it upgrades your Quick Drive so you can run stopping services which stop at every station along the way. Basically, you need this if you want to fully enjoy New York - New Haven.. Really nice i love the detail on it BUT it has a huge down side to it. It usese Queensland Rail IMU 120 sounds so that means DTG came to Australia and got the sounds off of a IMU 120 but yeah i recommend it.(feel free to add me as a friend). awesome train wish there was an lirr route and the lirr\/metro north m7 train hopefully this game will have it sometime. I will be honest, I only recommend this DLC because there are some custom\/workshop scenarios that need it.If you don't need it, don't buy it!! There are too many flaws with the AI in this DLC.To name some:- AI leaves or disappears all of a sudden.- AI collides with another causing a derailment.In both occasions it gives you the Game Over message.Just so you know, I've currently tried to play this over ten times and it keeps happening. :(. 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.. The order of the Kawasaki M8's was completed on July 13, 2015
