    Class 175 or 180. I quite like the coradia DMUs, they were built for long distances so have a premium feel.

    I love the various manual-geared ‘modernisation plan’ DMUs, and the TSW 101 is an excellent re-creation.

    I'd like to see a class 121 bubble car in TSW. Still manual gears and vacuum brakes like other 1st gen DMUs but a single car like a class 153.
    16 units were built and the class 121 was the longest serving 1st gen DMU, in operation from 1960 until 2017.
    Several class 121 bubble cars have been preserved and run on heritage railways and LSL has 2 units, one of which is loaned out to heritage railways and the other (55022/121032) is part of the chairman's private fleet.

    Voted for the 170 because I just in general like 170s, and the 101 because it's a really engaging train to drive in TSW

    The 101 is very fun with the manual gears. Especially on NTP and WCL as you have to manage the gradients.

    Out of those, I went for the 142 and 170.

    The 142 is one of the best trains in TSW, the 170 in real life. They're complete opposites (and not because of who made them in TSW).

    The 101 is king.

    But, if we can choose a different era, I'd love to drive a six car 124 on some version of NTP.

    So would we all, but I'm really thinking at this point the project has died.

    Yes, it's well over a year since the Peak Forest project first appeared on the Roadmap. I think someone has signed the " do not resuscitate " form for this one.

    I think we could all chip together and get the 104 a decent gravestone!

    Perhaps the Class 104 because it has become of mythical status, did it even exist, did it really run on PF or was it all a dream?

    I’m sure lots of us bought Peak Forest in the belief that we were getting the Class 104 and a timetable update but hey !

    It really is a waste of a route.

    It's so well done and the scenery is excellent, but the steam.... not good.
