Sounds & Alarms

Delightfully Real

Experience the real sounds of a Mainline cab. Unlike its Underground compatriots the Class 313 likes to talk to you. There are a variety of totally authentic alarms to cancel and the ever popular wheel flange to enjoy.

Animated Pantograph

Faithfully Recreated

Nothing beats the sight of a majestically rising pantograph on a crisp winter morning. While we can't provide you with the weather our pantograph is fully functional and animated. Step out of the cab and watch her do her thing!

AWS/TPWS

Fully Operative

The Class 313 really was the deluxe model. Featuring not only AWS but TPWS and a Tripcock system this train keeps you on your toes. Our version has fully operative safety systems for you to enjoy. Or not.

Guard Communication

2 Person Operation

If the train herself isn't keeping you on your toes then our friendly guard certainly will. Just as with the real thing you need to wait for him to bell you before you can go!

Features.

Set between 2002 - 2006

The height of the Silverlink Metro Era

Take the opportunity to drive a now extinct train operator in a time before everything was painted orange. The 313 has almost been phased out altogether so embrace a bit of railway history. Even if that bit of history coincided with the last 2 seasons of Friends.
