    What is "Suitable Stock" for MML?
    HSTs, 66s, 70, 158s, 170s, XC 220/221, MML 222 and lots of freight

    To drive a train you don't need the EPS version - its ok to have but not the end of the world if you don't

    but yea, once again i really dont have much diesel locos at the moment. And atm I have more focused on other routes atm over MML.
    But yea as asked before. Between the Northampton Loop and Kings cross to Kings llyn route. Which would be better? I have suitable rolling stocks for both routes.

    I cannot help there -
    I don't have either but I would think WCML would give you more variation with freight and passenger workings
    kilt46 might have both

    i subscription so i already have access to that. (cant use the route because I dont have all the requirements yet).
    Or is it just not a good time to get either routes? and just focus on the 2 trains plus other things?

    so during this winter sale i hope to be able to complete the entirety of the ECML (as in ECML merge on ATS)
    but i am also debating should i also get the class 180 as well. Or can that wait or is a less-ish important train to get over the others?

    Well, for 5 pounds in the sale should be fine. It´s an important ai train for the ECML. I´ve never really seen it used as a player train anywhere... I remember that it was a really bad release from DTG with loads of massive bugs. It´s never gotten an AP enhancement or sound pack.

    The routes via Pontefract Monkhill to Bradford and from Doncaster to Hull don´t exist in TSC. Maybe thats another reason it´s not used much? Although I remember both of these routes beeing built at some point. Pontefract Monkhill to Wakefield was beeing done by OTS and some other developer announced the route to Hull a long time ago.

    Not all Grand Central services go to Bradford most are Kings Cross - Sunderland so would use 3 different routes.

    The 180 is not that good but for £5 it is worth having as AI.
    The Engines sounds are similar to the Class 175 - maybe somebody has does a patch?

    The Class 180 is not a patch - it is a standalone product in Grand Central livery

    the Major Wales Pack adds other liveries - https://www.major.wales/revamp-packs/180
