My knowledge on railway freight traffic outside the UK, where rolling stock is concerned, is zilch so I'm just gonna suggest some cargo line options or just wagon packs in general for the UK. Cars: Car trains are missing from the UK's rail scene which is strange because both European and American examples exist in the game. There are two examples of modern-ish UK car transporter vehicles to fit a cargo line pack: The IPA which can come in either single or double decker form and the WIA The WIA's functionality would be impressive if correctly replicated in game bcoz, although they might not seem like it, these are double decker wagons and can do this: Th These trains would appear mostly on the WCML, which conviniently has the biggest section in replicated in game, but also the MML and maybe the ECML and the Mildmay/North London line Because we don't seem to get new locos with these wagon packs, but we can get altered locos (Cargo Line Vol. 5) This pack could at least include a Class 66 simply altered with new headlight clusters: No those lights are not the same as the 66 headlight clusters from Engineering Express. Rails: I don't know what the proper term for these trains are but 'rail' trains are another freight service missing from the UK rail scene, for this pack, included should be JZA wagons, which, if it somehow wasn't obvious, carries rails: These trains would appear on SEHS, the MVL, the modern image WCML routes, MML and ECML at least. An alteration for the 66 to go with this pack could be, if a license can be made, a GBRF livery with alterations to the headlights, and we would finally get a 66 model with the buckeye coupler removed *glares at 66 587 from Enginerring Express* Nuclear Waste: I've seen in person a tempory operation of drums of nuclear waste operating from Winfrith siding near Moreton (Dorset) to the Low Level Waste Repository near Drigg, Cumbria. This pack would include the small PFA container flat: The only catch with this pack is that it would require a new locomotive, namely the class 68 as these operations were only ever formed of top-n-tailed DRS 68s with anywhere from 2 to 10 PFAs: These trains would have services on the modern image WCML routes, albeit not many, so similar to Cargo Line V5. If we got the West London Line (Clapham Jn to Willesden Jn)/Clapham branch of the NNL, this and Cargo Line Vol 5, could have services on there. If we got any section of the SWML, this could have services on it. The class 68 should also sub-in the the nuclear flask trains on the WCML since the Class 20s are unrealistic for the time period, I believe, don't know for sure, but believe WCML South is set in 2022 but DRS retired their 20s on nuclear flask trains in 2019 and for good in 2021.
I quite enjoy the car trains on Dresden Leipzig so would love a UK version. There actually already is a Nuclear cargo line pack https://store.steampowered.com/app/3663850/Train_Sim_World_6_Cargo_Line_Vol_5__Nuclear/
I'm aware of that, I own it, but this is slightly different to that, emphasis on slightly. It's not quite the same as nuclear flask trains, these are nuclear waste trains which transport drums of nuclear waste to waste repositories, the consists can be longer than nuclear flask trains
Well I made a scenario on the MML called 6X13: Dollands Moor to Toton North Yard, so feel free to try despite the fact German laaers wagons are used in place of double deck IPA wagons ._.
More modern UK diesel or electric power needed: Stadler Class 68, 88, 93, and/or 99, Class 67, Class 69 rebuild, Class 56, Class 58, Class 60 would be great to see. The Continuous Welded Rail (CWR) train is a cool idea. I saw some videos of an HO-Scale model train layout that featured a very detailed and realistic CWR train. It was way awesome. Wish I could do something like that on my O-Gauge layout. Another good UK freight idea from the late 1980s-early 1990s: Foster Yeoman Class 59 (basically an SD40-2 in a Class 66 body with an older EMD 645 Prime Mover vs. the 66's 710) handling limestone trains. Still hoping for US Cargo Line Packs, especially the BNSF Boeing Fuselage Train. We could also get packs for operational snow-clearing equipment and crane cars! How cool would that be?!
Could do an on-track machine addon, with different types of Tampers, Rail grinders, stone blowers and a handful of the plethora of infrastructure machines like that. Would also be very cool to get something like the High-Output Ballast Cleaner (HOBC). This is the longest engineering train in the UK (and maybe the longest full stop) and uses another locomotive (usually a class 66) to be moved around. It currently operates with Heavy Haul Rail (previously FreightLiner) and operated as headcode 6Y15. I have attached some examples of OTMs that could be included: Tamper - Stoneblower- Rail Grinder - HOBC -
