    So, here is my idea for 2 gameplay packs for the upcoming Riviera Line / SDML addon.

    Cargoline: Clay
    First off all, Cargoline Clay. This would include a DB Red and DB branded 66 (including nameplates) and a selection of weathered and graffitied JIA wagons. However, I do recognise 2 limitations with this idea, namely that we already have too many 66 variations, and resources could be better used to produce another modern image UK freight loco, and secondly that there are only a couple of services that could be added to the timetable.

    Night Riviera Gameplay Pack

    This pack would include the nightly Night riviera sleeper service between Exeter St. Davids and Plymouth. The pack would include all five GWR sleeper locos, namely 57312 in GBRF ex-ROG blue, 57602 'Restormel Castle' in GWR Green, 57603 'Tintagel Castle' in GWR Green, 57604 'Pendennis Castle' in commemorative GWR Brunswick Green and 57605 'Totnes Castle' in GWR Green. The pack would also include a selection of GWR MK3 sleeper coaches, namely TSOs, SLE/SLEPs and BFKs (though I could be wrong on that last one). The basic service pattern would be one Up & one Down working per day, however there is plenty of scope for daytime light loco and empty stock workings between Plymouth , Laira and Exeter. Also, another idea could be that whichever locos are not being used on the sleeper could be seen as static at Laira.

    Absolutely yes from me. In regards to the Night Riviera, so long as it gets layered onto GWE as well, I am al for it.

    Saw the class 66 and felt slightly disappointed, like seriously can we get literally anything but another damn class 66

    yes we really could use more freight but man I hate the class 66 so much, and there’s like 12+ versions in game

    I do get that, but if this pack were to be made it'd have to be a 66, hence the inclusion of special liveries (e.g. pride) and nameplates.
