Berlin S-Bahn ET/EB 165 (8 car)

Description
DRG Class ET/EB 165 (DR 275, DB 475) EMU of the Berlin S-Bahn.

The asset resembles a late version of the "Stadtbahn" type featuring
  • modernised, separated DR-style lights,
  • line color coding (panel behind wind screen)
  • trailer cars created by conversion of the control cars orginally delivered
  • two non-modernised "Passviertels" (with trailer cars) in the train's middle

With illumation map and headlights for after dark. Driver cabin stays dark. The line indication panel changes color according to the train's line.

Added support for vehicle effects: If you subscribe to both, Vehicle Effects and Extra Vehicle Effects, you get:
  • Electric motor sound crossfading multiple samples across the rpm range (video)
  • Switching head and rear lights
  • Braking sound, speed dependent
  • Wheel flange grinding/squealing in curves (depending on radius and speed)
  • Door closing sounds

Be warned, the 8-car version is slightly too long for the platforms. It still works at termini, but if train frequency is high, deadlocks can occur, which the game resolves by unspawning one of the waiting trains (and re-adding a new train to the line).

Speed: 80 km/h
Capacity: 1000 (4x 115 seats + 4x 135 standing)
Operating era: 1928-1997
Quads: 600

Plans for the near future include real trailer cars (as opposed to trailers gained from conversion of control cars) and cars in original livery (blue/beige/red). Long-term plans include "Oranienburg"[de.wikipedia.org] and "Olympia"/"Bankier"[de.wikipedia.org] types as well as DR modernisations and present-time classes (485[en.wikipedia.org], 480[en.wikipedia.org]).

@Thaok Well at least it would be nice if there more Trains from the 50s-70s. :)

@GT8686
Those surly were great in the game, but most modders' spare time will be very limited - so that may be the reason... ;) I focused on some of my favorite types, which are vastly underepresented in most games/sims including railways in one kind or another (especially the Hamburg classes). Also, when we have to make a choice, I think, rapid transit classes are of most use for a city builder game, since we mostly see intra-city traffic.
