The Standard Train's big sister, and the middle sibling of the three, is probably the best train in terms of appearance compared to the other two. It is just the right length that a train should be. The Standard Train seems dwarfed by its large bow and the advanced train is just ridiculously long. The six cargo pods on this fit in quite nicely in proportion to the bridge and it's definitely a vessel worth considering settling for. If you've upgraded from the standard train then you’ll most definitely feel that extra weight piled onto the handling. The smooth turning of the Standard train is like a distant relative to the slow movements of this one. Yet again six Class 7 Turrets to mount onto it as well as six grey cargo pods readily fitted and removable. A 4500 cargo bay limit really makes you wonder if it's worth sacrificing that extra bit more to get a larger option.

The Large train does however reserve the maneuverability in and around trade lanes and jump gates. Handled right, this ship can be as easy to pilot as its predecessor, but due to barely any gadgets with the guns the chances of outrunning pirates are quite slim. Being built by no particular faction in Sirius this ship is readily available to pretty much anyone if they have the reputation to purchase it from South Shields Refinery. Another common flaw that it shares with its sisters is the awful avenger’s cockpit setting frames across your view which can be quite off-putting if you prefer to fly that way this colossal cargo bay does come at a hefty price, but less than expected. Just over 93 million credits will get you all this and a hell of a lot of profit along any mainline trade route.
