After much tweaking, checking, worrying if Train Simulator 2012 would break them and drowning under all those models, we're pleased (and relieved) to announce that the VDA vans add-on for Railworks 3 is now available to purchase in the shop.

Featuring all four lots of VDA produced by Ashford and Shildon works this Train Simulator 2012 expansion contains no less than 132 different models in 5 liveries and two states of weathering. Loaded and empty versions (with suitable physics) are included along with rear versions, complete with oil tail lamp, to give you total control for prototypical use.

As an added bonus (to allow the prototypical running of one of the Scenarios) a BR dia 1/507 brake van with through vacuum and air pipes (TOPS code CAR) is also included in both Bauxite and Yellow and Railfreight Flame Red and Grey liveries. These models also come with two states of weathering, smoking stove and non smoking, in train and rear versions carrying lamps for both fitted and unfitted trains.

Four Scenarios are included from the late 1970s to the mid 1980s featuring known train services from the relevant working time tables and formations (within the limits of default rolling stock).

The improved graphics engine of Train Simulator 2012 really brings these models alive but they still sport stencil shadows to ensure they look impressive in legacy mode too!

At a stupidly reasonable £3.00 including VAT can your simulator really feel complete without this add-on?
