Overview

707-0

The Class 707 Desiro City is an electric multiple-unit manufactured by Siemens, in use on Stepford Connect. These trains are formed of 5 coaches and cost 225 points (300 normally).

This is the first train to receive a CSG (Constructive Solid Geometry) model livery in SCR. This improved the performance for many users, as well slightly improving the interior to make it look more accurate to the 707‘s real life counterpart.
