British Rail Class 440 EMU

Description
Fictional British Rail Class 440 Third Rail EMU

In the early 1980s BR had drawn up plans for a new 3rd rail express EMU this would eventually become the 442 but they needed a test bed to make sure this would all be worth it, so in the interim they developed the Class 440 a lower tech (but still higher tech then what was running at the time) EMU capable of 100 mph on 3rd rail with a seating layout similar to the HSTs running around at the time.

These units proved successful enough for BR to fully develop the idea into the resulting Class 442 EMUs and both classes ran at the same time providing capacity upgrades along the south of England.

BR Blue Grey - 1984

Jaffa Cake - 1985

NSE V1 - 1986

NSE V2 - 1988

NSE V3 - 1989

(Entire mod is subject to change as me and Jimbo are constantly trying to figure out how to make this look better)

as the train gets dirty the whole thing appears to turn brown? not sure if this is just on my end

This is a nice mod! I always like having more boxy mark 3 derived MUs to run on my network, I quite like them :p

Are there plans for any other liveries for operators that may have operated these if they were in commercial service irl, such as those @RandomKentGuy mentioned, among a few potential others?

Strangely I think a diesel variant of this would be pretty cool to see. Like some weird prototype for an even longer-distance express sprinter than the 159, perhaps instead of the 170 in a universe where BR continued, producing more and more boxy mark3-derived units.

Love to model and skin. I can't find them in game, I have all the required items listed, and my current game year is 1993 but they're not showing up in the buy menu. Is there something else I could be missing? Thanks in advance :)
