## Description
### Steam Store Description
The 4VEP Add-On takes you back to the days of the classic ‘slam-door’ commuter
trains on the Woking-Portsmouth Line.
The 4VEP (‘Vestibule Electro Pneumatic’), named the Class 423 under the
British Rail TOPS classification system, was one of the ‘slam-door’ electric
multiple units that formed the backbone of rail passenger transport in
southern England from the 1960s until after 2000. EMU’s like the 4VEP were a
part of daily life to hundreds of thousands of commuters, with the persistent
slamming of their doors signalling the imminent departure of another busy
service. Each 4-car set was powered by 750-volt DC electricity supplied via a
third rail, giving a top speed of 90mph. Built by BREL at York, these classic
EMUs served for almost 40 years, their high-density seating layouts and
performance proving adequate for their role until the introduction of the more
modern ‘Dersiro’ units. PLEASE NOTE: the 4VEP Add-On requires the Portsmouth
Direct Line Expansion Pack (available separately) to play.
