I am looking for an EMU with pantograph (can also be third/fourth rail) power intake. Does anyone have any ideas? Freeware or Payware

Not the end of discussion
i would say there are a others beside AP
how do we know the op is asking for a UK version they might mean USA,GERMAN i hate it when someone asks something like this and everyone mentions AP there are other developers out there than AP.
you have the 380 from RSC which i really enjoy its a great model the lights are fantastic and it is really really realistic

Is that the same 380 from a couple of years ago? Whilst there are other developers out there, AP are probably amongst the best. Far more detailed than the RSC releases, and whilst the quality of those are improving, I am unaware of any with accurate AWS (the slight delay), Good effects, the ability to change your display, or even the ability to close your own doors (something I've never seen before on a released development) all with high quality sounds, and very high quality textures!
Whose fault is it if they don't specify?
The Class 321 is being mentioned because it is the best current model overall if you take all factors into account, build quality, sound quality, livery variations, features etc. That is in no way suggesting that other models available, and it isn't being purposely favourable to the developer because I work/have worked with them all.
Oh, and the 380 wasn't from RSC.
point taking LOL AP win lol

Not driven the 321 yet, but I do like the 365, purely from a driving perspective. The 377 is okay, but the cruise control makes it a bit easy to drive.

It depends on the route/era and what type of service you are doing.
My favourite current set is the 377 for London to Brighton, but then I love the 225 set for the ECML.
I, personally, don't want all the extra gimmicks that the AP 321 provides. The RSC model does me fine - the sounds could be better which is why I swapped them with the AP sounds, but I much prefer the RSC model as it is more jump in and play. The same with the Class 90 I don't really like having to spend 5 minutes trying to set the train up. If I want a proper realistic drive then these are great choices, but I'm more of a jump in and play for 20 minutes.
A lot of RSC's latest models have been superb feature wise. They aren't too complex and so don't take an absolute age to start, but they do require more steps than just putting reverser forward and the throttling/braking. The 225 is a brilliant example of this.

Providing you haven't selected it in cold start mode, it only takes 20 seconds.
I understand your point though, and when Waggonz added the version for sale on Steam, there was at least a simple version. It probably would have been nice to have had simple versions in the original pack as well.
However, I wasn't specifically talking about the advanced features when arguing that it was the best model, it was more about what was included out of the box. Class 320/321/322 and 16 liveries in all, it's quite an extensive pack.
