    I always wish there were more railtours in the game, with more of a variety of locos available to run these tours with, a good example of what I'd like more of is the railtour on ECW - it's the same working but almost every UK diesel loco is available to run it!
    Anyway, my suggestion is a modern railtour pack that adds a number of new railtours to as many modern UK routes as possible.

    • The pack would include a generator coach (to make certain tours more authentic).

    • A new loco - the Class 55 would be a good (and popular) choice! ;)

    • There would be at least 1 new railtour for every UK route.

    - Each new service would be like the ECW one stated above, where most/all locos are available on the same working.

    55 would be great, with a bundle of Mk1/2s. Maybe with a different livery from the usual railtour carriages (Flying Scotsman ones). I'd prefer a more similar livery to WSR's, with red/cream scheme. Maybe green? As for the 55, it would be appropriate to introduce it with both BR Blue and BR Green liveries (the 6 preserved specimens).

    Exactly what I was thinking! Would be an amazing pack with all those things added - maybe one day!...

    Yes, the Class 55 Deltic would be a great choice for railtours, especially on the ECML. I'd also like a Class 50 "Hoover."

    I’m really surprised that after all this time there hasn’t been either of these locos released. My preference would be a hoover though. That and a class 60 would be awesome.

    Perhaps with Class 41 HST prototype (41001). I don't know when, but they created a convoy with Mk3s, formerly from Greater Anglia. It would be easy to create, starting from Class 43.
    Even a 50 would be amazing!

    Now your making me want a old Scottish route (80s) with an steam railtour with a class 25 ETHEL at the end. As it would function like the generator coach your suggesting.

    Now I wouldn't turn that down, absolutely not! Even on a modern route.. it's a shame no 25s are mainline certified, as far as I know?

    Yeah, the 60 would be my preference - out of all; the 55 and the 50! Really wish I could see more 60s, then again I've never seen a 55 nor a 50..!!

    honestly if this pack is gonna have mk2 they NEED to be the version with the full windows along with its brake coaches. Reskined mk2 from NTP can be done too but it cannot just those mk2 in this pack. its about time we get some more UK carriage stock that isnt the old version of the mk2s and mk1s.

    actually yes. some additional mk1 variants (as well as livery) would be also nice.
