    As per the title. Since the arrival of the Train Sim World games these locomotives are completely absent. Have DTG ever said why and are we likely to ever see them get added into the newer games?

    Probably not likely as Steam is all buy dead as far as tsw is concerned, unfortunately

    As I've said on some other threads, DTG have seemed to abandon Steam. I think it is a shame that such a large portion of the railway's history is being ignored

    Steam is dead in TSW, unless it’s the DCC physics Thomas and cronies.

    To be honest though, if steam did make a return we already have several large or express locos. What’s needed is some more mixed traffic types, in the case of the LNER, a B1, B12 or even a V2.

    The same reason we don't have many steam locos.

    DTG don't seem to want to revisit steam (Thomas doesn't count as that was purely for his 80th anniversary).
