Berlin S-Bahn ET/ES 165 "Passviertel" (2 car)

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

The asset resembles a so-called "Passviertel", special units which were modernised only slightly during their whole service time from 1928 till 1997. As opposed to the modernised units, a Passviertel (= padding quarter) required two-men operation, which is why they were mostly used between modernised units padding trains to their full length. Those units could also be seen in stand-alone service, since, for some time, they provided the only possibiliy to form a two-car train for times of low traffic density (being the only units left with a control car for bidirectional operation).

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

Speed: 80 km/h
Capacity: 250 (115 seats + 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]).
