Concentrating on the lines we currently have rather than any new branches, I'd like to see: Based on the 6 engines we have: Some variation in the named expresses' stopping patterns, with one being non-stop. Some trains continuing to terminate at Tidmouth (nothing stops there). Thomas's special coach: one of the expresses has a through coach onto Thomas's branchline. With new locos: Henry takes 50% of James's services, with them both taking on mainline freight. Emily remains passenger only. Toby takes over quarry work, freeing up Diesel and particularly Percy to do more shunting at Knapford. Donald and Douglas adding more mainline freight and other tasks. Some of the stopping services should call at Ballahoo.
Deffo utilise Tidmouth and Ballahoo stations!!! hopefully new shunting challenges at Wellsworth, Henry’s Forest, Crosby etc
