    I Am Here To Make A Request Dovetail Could You Consider Making A Place For Sir Nigel Gresley As An Add On For TSW5 Or Maybe TSW6 I’m Only Suggesting It Because You Record The Real Engines Like You Did With Flying Scotsman And I’m Saying This Because 60007 Aka Sir Nigel Gresley Is The Last And Only A4 Still Running And God Knows When It Will Go Out Of Service And By Getting Sir Nigel Gresley You Could Reskin It Into The Other A4’s 4468/Mallard,4464 Bittern,4489 Dominion Of Canada,60008 Dwight D Eisenhower And 60009 Union Of South Africa They Are The Only A4’s Left In Existence And I Don’t Know Any Other Better Opportunities That Will Come And By Adding Them We Get More Steam Locos And While I Know Steam Locos Aren’t Being Made In Recent Years But They Can’t Be Ignored Forever As They Started It All And For A Route Suggestion You Could Make Kings Cross To Peterborough And Mallard Could Redo Her Speed Record As She Did Over 90 Years Ago Or Flying Scotsman Could Double Head I’m Just Trying to Get This Out There Because Time I Believe Is Running Out On Sir Nigel Gresley Who Knows How Much Longer It Will Be Running For Maybe Even Allow Them To Be Given Headboards Like Your Crimson Jubilee You Could Also Make One For Flying Scotsman IMG_9170.jpeg

    And TBH if steam does come back we need some more workaday general purpose locos. For the LNER (BR/LNE) that would mean a B1, B12 or perhaps a V2 not a top link loco only at home on a handful of services.

    Correction; they DID record. Granted, many of us would love to see steam return to TSW, myself included, but considering DTG doesn't want to even touch the unfinished steam configs now, that seems unlikely. Thomas was a different proposition, he was basically a glorified kids DLC.



    The best we can hope for is that either they change their minds, or a third-party group steps in to do the job DTG clearly refuses to lay a finger on.



    In the meantime, I'm hearing there's a movement to try and show DTG that there is a clear demand for more steam locos in TSW. Is that true?

    Didn't DTG abandon steam development?

    Wouldn't call it any sort of development though, it only really served to get Flying Scotsman into TSW.

    Pretty sure any movement would fall on deaf ears. I think DTG largely only use their survey to make decisions on new content and based on what we’ve had recently, the majority are asking for one lever stop/start EMUs. If they could get their heads down and make Steam traction better and get a decent collection of locos made then the TSC players who enjoy steam the most might be tempted to migrate over to TSW.

    I think tornado would be would be a better idea as it it more modern and would make more sense for railtours
