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'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). 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.. 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.... Great looking model but buggy. This was one of the most anticipated add-ons for the NEC: New York-New Haven route but alas it is virtually useless do to frame rate issues when more than 2 consists are running. As of Dec 2014 it has not been fixed despite the promise of an update. I can not recommend this pretty EMU until it is patched, which I suspect will never happen at this rate. It's honestly made it so that I no longer impulse buy content when it's first released, especial considering the history of Dovetail patching buggy content.
