The Donkey In The Room

So i read in one of these threads that there is a donkey hidden in every route or most routes. If thats true when you come across it post here with details. Let's if the community can find them all .

 

Keep in mind this is a DTG thing. Do not look for them in third party routes.

 

That's why I changed it to most routes.

 

is that still a thing? i remember 3,4,5 years ago there’d be talk of a donkey in every preview stream but it doesn’t seem to be brought up much anymore. my fear is that the donkeys are yet another victim of the corporate culture that’s trapped dtg

 

I think the chaps who did MVL put a donkey in their route. Was nice seeing it again.

Good times when they did this years ago, not sure where we are going these days.

 

You mean these things.

 

I do doubt a bit, given on Wonders of Sodor there's a football match between pigs and cows, refereed by a donkey

 

Now I wanna buy it just to see that lol.

 

There is one in Paddington station. Paddington the Donkey (no bear).

 

There you go -

 

Made me chuckle thank you.

 

The pigs won the match because they had David Beckham on their side. A well seasoned player with a tasty right leg.

 

And this is a 3rd party route. (WCMLoS)

 

Every time there's a football pitch in a route, the pitch markings are always too thick and the dimensions off by a bit.

I assume it's just a stock asset in TSW that no-one has bothered improving.

I guess it's because I work in football it irks me greatly...

 

The referee is a donkey? That's not that far fetched, is it?

 

There’s also quite a few people with full size goalposts in their gardens, particularly on Edinburgh to Glasgow!

 

To be fair, I got two immediate neighbours who have them. Sometimes I give the ball back...

 

This tracks as donkeys, like human referees, have a blind spot directly in front of them.
