    First up Great Western Express.
    The intermodal trains now have ONE, Hapag Lloyd and Hamburg Sud liveries on them. Which is good to see. Also the "Dark Matter" area on the approach to Reading (from Paddington) has been erased and colour has been restored.

    The Rapid Transit BR 1442 has also received some love. The PIS has been done as well as the PZB bug has been squashed as well.

    First a Mastery reward for Rhein Ruhr Osten. Not sure if its an optional camera view or what, But it looks nice.
    Secondly CRT PIS on Tees Valley. This still needs work before its finished.

    A big thanks to the Preservation crew for adding the extra bits to the routes.
    Also these are not the only things that are being done. They are working on all the other routes and waiting for them to be released after testing.

    Looks good, Thanks for this, although I am very interested to see when the Peninsula Corridor Preserved update will hit as this was teased way before Christmas and still no sign of it yet!

    So, on the GWE route the OHLE is incomplete as that is the way the route is in 2016 yet we are getting ONE containers which did not exist in 2016.

    If that's the case they have no case for not installing the OHLE along the entire route. DTG just cherry pick what to add in.

    Same with the ONE containers that are added as scenery to the MSB route, they should not be there.

    One and the other two branded containers had been asked by the community to be put on in replacement to the shabby un branded containers.
    Well they have stated that no new route extensions will be made to the routes.
    Also because of the massive amount of modifications that have been done to the route in real life then the route would have to be a totally brand new route (which I am more than happy for them to do). Also the current OHLE on the route is just scenery and not energised, have you tried running the 314 on the route? The pantograph does not raise.

    Looking on MSB on Google maps you do infact see containers in the docs, i dont see a little harm of having the one containers there. it just adds to the immersion of the place.

    Personally i would love to see a brand new GWE route from Paddington to Didcot/ Oxford BUT this isnt the thread for it.
    All this thread is to do is showcase some of the stuff to look forward to that the preservation crew have worked on and is near or not far off release.

    Regards
