In the DTL Articles and the Livestreams, the ICE 4 is cited as one of the most requested German Trains. Out of pure Curiosity, I’d be interested to know what you think which Train holds that spot now. Even though I don't personally need it, my first thought naturally goes to the ICE 2, the ICE-TD and of course the IC 2 Personally I wish for the DB BR 189 or an older Generation of Dostos
For the UK, probably Class 55 Deltic diesel. For Germany, not so sure - either the 189 or 220/V200 perhaps?
I thought it would be the 156 Sprinter for UK and 185 maybe? Thought nobody was into old stuff any more. Personally for me a 37/4 in the UK 232 for DB.
50, 55, 56, a tank engine of some description to be an 08 analogue when steam is up to an acceptable standard.
At this point any new Dostos will do, its crazy that after all these years we're still stuck with the same old (lower entry)Dostos. Personally I'd wish for a Br120 or Br156 in Germany, Class 319 for the UK and the AEM-7 for the US.
I think the 91 is probably up there too UK wise. On a personal level I'd really like the Class 185, but it'd obviously need a route to run it on
I’d forgotten the 91… Of course those posting to this thread probably need to be mindful that the thread title reads What *is* the most requested loco, not to restate your own wishlist! Though I think it’s fair to say the Deltic and 91 have probably popped up more than most, for the UK.
Gotta be the 91 for the UK. In Germany for me it feels like it's more about coaches - either other Dosto generations or i-Wagen. For Austria maybe a shunter or the 1144 (and again, coaches) For the Netherlands I think we'd take almost anything but a 1700 + ICR would be cool
For the UK it's a tricky one, I'd say there are several candidates, in no particular order; Class 91 Class 55 "Deltic" Class 25 Class 56 Class 60 It depends on the threads, if you go into a JT route thread then the 25 is heavily requested, same for North TransPennine, the MML threads call for the 56 and 60 and elsewhere there's the 91 and Deltic. Of course there are also calls for them in other threads too, the Deltic would fit into the NTP route as that's sadly how they spent their final couple of years, the 56 would also work on JT routes as would the 60 if one "fudged" the era by a couple of years... On the unit front, well there are growing calls for the Southern Region slammer units as well as more "modern" ones such as the 319 and 321 and now the 508s...
I would go for the DB BR 120. Quite a couple of timetables in TSW actually use the BR 103 or BR 101. For example Left Rhine 1997 (Original timetable...) 120 not 103: EC 12/13, EC 18/19, EC 114/115, IC 504/505, IC 506/507, IC 512/513, IC 516/517, IC 518/519, IC 522/523, IC 524/525, IC 600/601, IC 604/605, IC 613/614, IC 616/617, IC 620/621...so forth and so on, basically every IC that was going to München, Augsburg, Ulm or Stuttgart, because these trains were routed via the SFS Mannheim-Stuttgart, where the 103 wasn't allowed to drive (not pressure tested...).
Class 91 is by far the most requested UK loco in game. Its been asked for ever since I played TSW, 6 years ago.
Question - What’s the most requested German train now? Answers - all these UK trains This is going the same as those threads when someone asks for players favourite route and it ends up being a thread of top ten favourite routes or a top five from each region or even a list of all the routes in order and not people just naming their one favourite route. Happens every time. I really do think people just don’t read properly.
