    91s are iconic along the ecml and 69s are one of my favourite freight locos. 91s would be a great add-on and would be great to see running along the ecml with the azumas

    whilst the 91s get my vote anyday, I don't think the 69s are a good choice as they aren't that common and also don't haul freight all that often at least on the ECML. if we were to get a new freight loco for ECML, it could be something like the BR Class 56. If we were to get the 69s, they could be for an existing TSW southern routes like SEHS or Brighton Mainline where they more common.

    TBH, I've never seen a 69 on the national network - I've only seen 69005 & 69009 at the Severn Valley Railway..

    Class 91 is the obvious must have for ECML. My money is waiting. As for the Class 69, there are similarities with the Class 66 powertrain but would probably benefit from having the Class 56 artwork done in parallel to save on dev time as they are largely the same bodies albeit not identical.

    91 absolutely. 69 might fit in well with a potential SWML route - which I know a lot of people including myself would absolutely love - as we get several of them most days between Byfleet and Eastleigh.

    I think we need a 91, with all the different liverys such like the Intercity one, the flying Scotsman one and more. Not sure about the 69 though, I think a 66 can do.

    Given that lots of the 91 special liveries are just different name plates, it would be good to see DTG include them all. Would also like the old Coke can livery too. Maybe £15.99?

    91 is a must for ecml especially if and when they extend to London King's Cross. 69 is see what people are saying but still be great to add to game as there is about 3-4 passing pbo each day
