Magic... this news has made my week...
(And I'm normally a loco kind a guy)
Ponders Class 322 reskins for the Stanstead Express AI and the 'gold Star' on blue livery (North West Trains?) Manchester Airport service to Euston many years ago.

Not only 322 reskins but 321 reskins will be good.
321 liveries over the years
Network South East
321/300 - First Great Eastern / National Express East Anglia / Greater Anglia
321/400 - Silverlink / London Midland / First Great Eastern / First Capital Connect
321/900 - Metro Train [WYPTE] / Northern
And remove a coach for a 320 to use around Strathclyde
Great choice of unit to make AP.

He needs to set up a pre-order system so people who preordered can download it a day or few hours early. Might ease the strain!xguerra wrote:Super!
Now I wonder if the AP servers will cope when this comes out.

I'd imagine the servers are up to scratch now after the 90 debacle, and if not, Richard could temporarily use something like Amazon S3 for content delivery.

It does look great. I will be doing one thing that Peter suggested above, remove a coach and make it a 320

If a 320 was repainted for this pack then they would be right at home on WCML-N. Specifically Glasgow Central low level to Lanark, via Motherwell. Also over the Hamilton Circle towards Larkhall.

Yes looking great, very excited by this and I haven't even got GEML yet!
A class 320 version would be very welcome, also.

Fantastic, she looks a beaut! So pleased to that AP is involved in this. As others have said, would be nice to have Scottish region 320/322 variants (even if it's a seperate pack)

I think the body is the same as the 321 so someone might do a reskin.

Always (normally) forgotten re: c321 liveries for the GEML is the company name post NSE "GER" (Great Eastern Railway) it was an NSE livery with overlaid vinyls featuring a green colour, with a logo made out of the initials GER with the Seeaxe (Essex) sword used, although to look online I can't find any evidence of this now ... was I dreaming 
I'm pretty sure not, it would've been just prior to First taking over with First applying the First Great Eastern logo fairly swiftly ...
