    I'd assume so, actually wouldn't be surprised if the 70 was released just a few days after Tadami. The fact they were both excluded from the Direct and only added afterwards to the roadmap makes me think both were originally intended for release within TSW6.

    What happened to this dlc? Updates appear to have ceased.

    I was hoping next weeks schedule would be up with a preview stream, but I guess it’s still not ready or perhaps there’ll be an announcement after Tadami is released?

    Yeah hopefully an update is along soon, excited to see what the 70 will offer, but the MML timetable is what I’m really looking forward too.

    This and the NT158 are 2 of the things I want most from this years line up, shame they keep alluding to things coming sooner than they really are.

    Still think this is coming pretty soon, hoping next week we see a preview be scheduled

    that’s… not true? the 145 and 187, both very recent loco dlc’s, both had previews

    It was announced in Feb 2026 I believe.. Going from the update that was given alongside the TSW7 announcement a month ago, could be here before Christmas (hopefully before Halloween)

    Well I'm sure you would be the first to complain if it was rushed out too soon.

    Maybe it's not ready yet?

    I am looking forward to it plus several other items but I'll just play all the other content I've got until it comes. Seems a reasonable solution.

    I think it'll be the next UK release. During the live stream for Airedale the 70 was an option for Matt. So I'm gonna take a guess and say it's quite close.

    Now that Tadami is released, maybe we’ll get a new release article tomorrow?

    If not, maybe more will be announced in the roadmap the week after next?

    they usually drop a release article before the roadmap (which will probably happen if not this week then the next one at maximum)

    No I haven't mainly due to the lack of suspension.

    I like most US content although oddly I prefer the electrified routes more for some reason, although I like San Bernadino. Morristown is a good route and the last NEC looks good which I'll pick up soon.

    I would much rather the devs take their time and do a cracking job with the 70, rather than seeing another pushed premature release.

    yes MML is due some love. maybe we will see OTS produce a community timetable for the route after the 70 launches.

    Just been announced, The Preview Stream is next Wednesday. So I'm going to guess the release is the following Tuesday.

    Great news! I'm mainly interested in the new MML timetable but who knows, maybe it'll actually finally get me interested in freight runs

    very much so. i do worry that it’ll cost around £20, which for what you’re getting is still very good value but i'm never spending that much on a loco

    i think the 13th or 15th is more likely, it’s rare for a dlc to release one day after the preview and there’s not been an article with a date yet

    £14.99 my red line on that. And in light of recent QA issues with the core route releases and Tadami much as I desire this, I won’t be getting Day One.

    I have a feeling it might be above the usual price due to the amount of interaction they've said they're putting into it!

    I just hope their timetable doesn't turn MML into a blur filled mess

    as for the price, it should cost $39.99, just like the 101 and 145 expert locos
    I'm going to buy it anyway, because we've never had this level of detail on a diesel loco

    Sorry but it could rot on the digital shelf for that price. Not much more than buying the complete game of Transport Fever 3. The just released BR285 diesel loco for SimRail costs £11 and includes a fully modelled interactive engine compartment.
