    Hello!

    How come the GWE 166s and 43s aren’t available on the Livery Designer? Is there some sort of licensing issue- I know Great Western vetoed their old First liveries late into production so do they maybe want to avoid reproductions of it? It’s a shame really, the 43 irks me particularly as it’s such a staple of English railways and there are so many possible repaints.

    Thanks!

    Oh. Right. And here i am thinking there’s some sort of cryptic untold reason as to why they don’t appear. Question withdrawn!

    GWE was one of the earlier TSW routes (note, not TSW2) and the preservation crew haven't done a "sweep" of GWE as yet.
    Also livery designer compat. is difficult as they need to "undo" all the design work to make it coloured and set the "paintable areas" etc. That takes an art engineer, and the pres team "lost" theirs to the main team Q3 last year, with the new guy coming in around xmas if I remember correctly
