It's a small mod that adds two more trains to the game. One is designed in 2005 and the other in 2015.
A couple of excerpts from the project page explain it well enough
> Just like the AsiaStar is inspired by the original EuroStar train, this version is inspired by the 2004 refurbishment of the EuroStar, called 373, and the 2015 model 374.
> Beyond new interiors the refurbishment brought significant engine upgrades. The latter 374 improved further on this.
> Back when the game was made the AsiaStar was the fastest electric train on a regular rail. It's designed in 1993 and no more engines are added to the regular electric rail after that. The monorail and maglev trains are of course a lot faster and are meant to take over later in the game.
> There's a case to be made for a faster and stronger electric train, however. Not least because it's realistic; the EuroStar of today regularly drives at 300 km/h, compared to the AsiaStar top speed of 265 km/h. But also because monorail and maglev shouldn't be better than rail by such a huge leap.
> Other train NewGRFs tend to add gigantic amounts of vehicles, but this one only adds two that are needed to fill a gap.
I hope you like it!
