    Hi all,

    I'm a big fan of the unsung hero of the rail modernisation plans of the 60s.. the unpretty, underpowered but solid and reliable 31s!

    The 31 in TSW is a solid model with outstanding sounds but the cab textures and functionality is criminally outdated for such a versatile loco!

    It fits into almost all of the UK routes even up to recent times in NR yellow!

    I would love to be able to play around in the livery editor with this box on wheels but its very apparently out of date.

    I know this is not as exciting as new routes or modern diesel freight traction, but for its sheer ubiquitous presence on british metals for decades, i think it deserves a good overhaul.

    I like the suggestion. Even just making it available in livery designer would be good. That and the 33! Would be amazing with TSW6 upgrade. Would a loco remaster be less work than a route remaster...??

    im no expert but id say a loco like the 31 and 33 who already have solid models, physics and sounds, would be easier than a route upgrade? open to being proved wrong tho :D

    I would love to see these two updated but I believe that due to how the 31 and 33 were made for the original TSW game, they can't be updated in anyway like with the Class 37. We're better off getting a new version in a future DLC

    However, I do believe that the 33 (alongside the 47, 09 & 52) was slightly updated when WSR was remastered
