    In the DTL Articles and the Livestreams, the ICE 4 is cited as one of the most requested German Trains.

    Out of pure Curiosity, I’d be interested to know what you think which Train holds that spot now. Even though I don't personally need it, my first thought naturally goes to the ICE 2, the ICE-TD and of course the IC 2

    Personally I wish for the DB BR 189 or an older Generation of Dostos

    For the UK, probably Class 55 Deltic diesel.

    For Germany, not so sure - either the 189 or 220/V200 perhaps?

    I thought it would be the 156 Sprinter for UK and 185 maybe? Thought nobody was into old stuff any more.

    Personally for me a 37/4 in the UK

    232 for DB.

    50, 55, 56, a tank engine of some description to be an 08 analogue when steam is up to an acceptable standard.

    At this point any new Dostos will do, its crazy that after all these years we're still stuck with the same old (lower entry)Dostos.

    Personally I'd wish for a Br120 or Br156 in Germany, Class 319 for the UK and the AEM-7 for the US.

    I think the 91 is probably up there too UK wise.

    On a personal level I'd really like the Class 185, but it'd obviously need a route to run it on

    I’d forgotten the 91…

    Of course those posting to this thread probably need to be mindful that the thread title reads What *is* the most requested loco, not to restate your own wishlist! Though I think it’s fair to say the Deltic and 91 have probably popped up more than most, for the UK.

    Gotta be the 91 for the UK.
    In Germany for me it feels like it's more about coaches - either other Dosto generations or i-Wagen.
    For Austria maybe a shunter or the 1144 (and again, coaches)
    For the Netherlands I think we'd take almost anything but a 1700 + ICR would be cool

    I doubt this very hard.
