    My ideas:
    -Big Boy, Challenger, FEFs, and 4-12-2s on the new UP Sherman Hill
    -B&O on Sand Patch w/ EM-1s and others
    -PRR on the new Horseshoe Curve: H10s, J1s, M1a/M1bs, K4s, T1 Duplexes

    Personally, I would prefer to start driving smaller designs like an 0-4-0 or 0-6-0 as bringing steam traction in to a game like TSW/TSW2 will be hard.. hence why we for the last 2 or so years, we've been getting a mix of diesel and electric locomotives/MUs

    I would love to see mainline steam in the game as I would really love to drive an LNER A4 or BR Standard 7 but I guess we'll have so see next year when Spirit of Steam releases..

    My top three being British would be:

    BR Standard Class 9F (Because its big)
    LNER Gresley A4 (I want to beat the speed record)
    LMS Stanier Black 5 (Always loved them)

    Which to be honest I think this list is pretty standard so I would like throw in a 4th more unorthadox choice, Lambaton Coilliery 0-6-2-T's.

    My current signature says it all, though I too prefer the challenge of driving smaller locos on heavy trains. For the UK there is considerable scope for tank engines, whether the humble Jinty or the LMS or BR 2-6-2T, 2-6-4T types.

    For the UK, the riviera line in the fifties is my biggest wish, with some of the famous GWR express engines such as the Castles and Kings, complemented with pannier tanks and prairies.

    Being a southern boy and local to the Bluebell line I'd love to see some Terriers (A1/A1X) maybe hayling branch? maybe a bulleid of some description?

    I'd also love 4mt tank engine, Standard class 5 like camelot or maybe a SECR locomotive as they're liveries are beautiful!

    Bit of an extensive wishlist

    A 4MT tank would be a fantastic addition, later built and ran most places in the southern.

    I agree! My parents wedding train was pulled by 80064 and I've seen 80151 a lot at the bluebell, plus a 4mt was my first N gauge model so I have a bit of a soft spot for them lmao!

    The GWR Hall class for wsr is my biggest wish after that I'm happy with whatever. And I guarantee it'll be an add-on I'll have to purchase.

    Consider adding in Ivatt 2MT Arthur and 4MT Standard Belle since the first steam route is West Coast main line Liverpool to Crewe these will be working the line. For GWML London Paddington to reading add in Autocoach Alice Dulcie and Isabel for Duck GWR 57xx and GWR 14xx Oliver when running freight Duck and Oliver needs toad brakevan on the back. German steam locomotives might as well introduce DB BR010 Freida and coworkers DB BR 086 TS22 classic Wutachtalbahn route DB BR095 Main Spessart Bahn Aschaffenburg-Gemünden 1950s all of them are from West Germany. German Democratic Republic DDR DR18 201 DR 65.10 DR52.80 Tharandter Rampe Dresden Karl Marx Stadt (Chemnitz) Italian steam locomotives FNM 200 Gina FS 743 Lorenzo of these FNM 200 Gina does also run Milano Chiasso Railway. where she meets a modern Swiss locomotive Re474 ES64F4 inside the massive FFS Chiasso yard and also the Stadler Rabe 501 low floor train Rabe 503 Pendolino.

    Excellent Idea and I'm thinking of DR 23.10 DR 65.10 and a DR 37.10 The last one I had a Marklin Model with Ibhpps reefer wagon.
    [​IMG]
    Here's a 23.10 DR East Germany these work well with Dresden Chemnitz & Riesa-Dresden due to water towers on the route

    To add on, I think that one of the two are still in operation without the pantagraph at a heritage railway.
