Network Rail Class 153s
17th January 2026The blue dogboxes! Plenty of additions modelled, plenty of time spent reskinning, and plenty of time spent scripting it (oh and plenty of time doing new destinations). This isn’t just any 153, this is a 153 that sounds and drives like the AP 150/2.
What’s Included?
The 5 Class 153s in Network Rail blue livery, each with their oddities and differences.
2 PreLoads are provided:
Class 153 (NR-VIU)
Class 153 (NR-VIU) x2
Requirements
JT Class 153 DMU
AP Class 150/2 DMU
Instructions
A manual is included with the full pack details and instructions you need, please read it. (P.S. if you get loads of clag and broken scripting, redownload and reinstall your 150/2, then this).
Alternatively, you can view the manual here.
Credits
MaxTracks – All the good bits! The majority of scripting, the AP 150/2 compatibility, the camera equipment, new shader, general advice and assistance, and the installer.
Disclaimer
No reskins are to be produced using this as a base. I’m on strict instructions 🙂

I’m getting some very odd behaviour with the doors on these units, upon loading of a scenario the doors on one side (Drivers side on No.1 cab) of the unit are partially open a by few inches. I have tried a door cycle but then the door only opens about half way then when the doors closes it returns back to the partially open position it started in.
Trying the 2 car consist with the 2nd unit facing the opposite way to the 1st starts with its doors partially open on the side away from the platform (platform on the left from the lead cab) but on opening the doors the offside doors do close, without annimation, and the platform side doors then take up the same behaviour as described.
I have reinstalled 150/153 and this all fresh but still can’t get doors on both side of train shut at same time, this also doesn’t prevent the train from being driven with the doors partially open. Can provide screenshots if you need.
Whats the track camera key again please?
Sorry I found it, cab view and right arrow
Thanks Clowes, looks great, just driving it now!
Can anyone direct me to where the manual is please? Thanks
Should be under Manuals/EN in your Railworks directory. Alternatively, I’ve just linked it on the product page.
Thankyou!
