Are new liveries on the radar with regards to existing routes?Ie the EWS option for class 66. Is it a case of keeping promises to the likes of GWR by not showing the out of date blue FGW for example? If it was part of any licensing agreement then would they allow the recreation of Vinyls on their locos, such as the 43002 BR blue or 43185 intercity? A less intrusive add on would be the Old Oak common and Welsh Dragon overlay on GWR green? Would add another level to service mode, not knowing whats down the line, in the station or parked at the depot. You could open this game up and combine the trophy hunting aspect, with looking for the unique bits and pieces of stock scattered along routes. Doing it discretely so to not detract from the simulation, by aiming at the nameplate and pressing x for example. Given the nature of trophy hunting on consoles it could even attract gamers that are not necessarilly all that into trains from the start.
Wonder if there is an issue putting out unbranded stock and assigning it a number that is under lease by a TOC? Maybe if DTG put out unbranded generic locos. They could give us a tool to assign a number?
I just dont know why they cant go the extra mile, they have made forums for us to vent or suggest, so i dno why they cant sort out some of these real world objectives
