    TSW needed the Pacer, as much has I love the Class 101,323 and 370's. For the UK routes it needed the Pacer. The game was going stale a bit. The Game Was Screaming for a Pacer.

    It's screaming for a lot of trains, not just the Pacer.

    Next priority needs to be a 67 (we have no modern passenger diesels) and then a 50 (classic diesel, still mainline approved today).

    As for DMUs, the 156 is probably the biggest omission. The 170 is also very notable by its absence, especially as it's earlier incarnation has been on GWML since the start.

    i dont think we have any routes which the class 67 can run on other than some pullman charter services on SEHS which go down in kent from victoria which are every now and then. though could be fun for scenarios as a rescue locomotive.
    but i do agree that the class 156 and 170 should be added 100%. a scottish route would be perfect for them

    I think it were just nice to get something other that modern electric route, as much as I did love the ECML route.

    We, okay I, want a 25, 50, Deltic, 86/87. Then I will be happy.

    Literally any freight loco that isn't a 66 or a look alike is what we really need! Yes the 66 is pretty much everywhere irl but it isn’t the only one to exist!

    They've got the DRS license now. In particular that opens up the door for a new Class 37, or in the bigger leagues a Class 57 or even (I hope to god one day) a Class 68.

    I mean come on, this is hands down the best livery that class has ever worn.

    If whoever decides upon creating a 68, may as well make it an 88 instead, at least it gives a choice of diesel or electric power instead of just diesel.

    In regards of the Pacer though, very nice, even though I hated them IRL, though the sounds do need turning up as they are far too quiet, can hardly hear them at idle.

    And they still need to look at retro tuning the TL11 sound to be more authentic.

    I don’t think I’ve seen the 68/88 in a livery I didn’t like, it’s quite an aesthetically pleasing loco.

    Especially with the TransPennne livery.

    Sorry, but I have always found blue and chartreuse to be an offputting combination. Also not crazy about leaving 2/3 of the loco in refrigerator white.

    We need more modern DMUs and retro electric locomotives. Plus more coaching stock
