Scenarios requiring additional stock

Note: We have included several scenarios which require a Class 321 EMU to operate. You can either use the First Capital Connect Class 321 EMU available to purchase from Steam OR the Class 321 Electric Multiple Unit Pack available to purchase from Armstrong Powerhouse. You do not need both as the scenarios that use these are exactly the same; they just use one or other of the Class 321s.
