BR Class 488 Gatwick Express EMU

Description
The Class 488 Gatwick Express unpowered trailer sets were converted from Mark 2 coaches in the 1980s. With the jumper cabled moved adjacent to the gangway rather than on the bufferbeam, they were designed to work in a push-pull formation with a Class 73 at one end and a Class 489 GLV at the other.

Note: This mod requires the Mark 2 Coaches Megapack (V3) to be enabled!

Available: 1984
Top Speed: 100mph

Description
Railair Link Victoria-Gatwick
1984
The Gatwick Airport was originally branded Railair Link, and carried Intercity Executive livery with alternative branding
Gatwick Express (Intercity)
1987
When the service was renamed Gatwick Express, the branding was changed to reflect this.
Gatwick Express (Burgandy Line)
1992
As Gatwick Express became its own shadow franchise, the livery was further modified with a thick white band and thin burgandy line replacing the Intercity stripes. New motifs for first class were also applied.
Gatwick Express (Late, White Bodysides)
1994
The bodysides were now pearl-white rather than beige, with the Gatwick Express Pennant Logo now featured
Gatwick Express (Late, No Pennant Logo)
2000
Due to reliability issues with the class 460s and then class 442s, 488s remained in use well into the 2000s. During this time, the pennant logo was dropped from the branding, although they never received the full National Express livery.

I hope you enjoy using this mod to create classic Gatwick Express scenes! If you want to say thanks, please consider a small donation - paypal.me/planesimple - it means the world! Thank you!
