Description
Alstom Class 180 Adelante DMU, part of the Coradia 1000 family. The type was first called Zephyr, but later renamed to Adelante. They are currently the only high-speed multiple unit with a hydraulic transmission. 278 PAX per 5-car unit, two of which can be paired. The mod also includes a 10-car unit, which was proposed several times but never implemented (592 PAX). The units had a troubled introduction into service back in 2001, but once the teething problems were resolved, they proved themselves reliable and are considered one of the most comfortable DMUs on British rails.

Liveries included:

First Group Northern
Grand Central
East Midlands Railway
CrossCountry (based on the Voyager)
GWR (this existed at least during one exhibition)
First Group Dynamic Lines

The mod has a top speed of 220 kph, which is what the Hydraulic T 312 bre is rated for. In regular operation, the sets are limited to 201 kph (125 mph).

I added the Dynamic Lines one. The Barbie one would look weird unless I simplify it like I did with the Northern one (the narrow bands in different colours on the side looked really weird).

I was thinking either the Barbie or the Dynamic Lines/First Hull Trains

Which one? The Merlin based with the golden band?

Is there any chance that you could release this in either the original or the later FGW livery? Other than that, these are fantastic, with a very high level of detail.
