    Sadly we are very unlikely to see any more stock produced for those routes now that they are part of the "preserved" collection.

    It would be great to see a class 121 bubble car but I would want a suitable route for it. They didn't run on the NTP or TVL. The 121's were mainly on the western region in the London area, Bristol area and later a couple at Plymouth. They were also in the Birmingham area and some latterly ran on the Bedford to Bletchley and the Chiltern Aylesbury branch.

    The Bedford to Bletchley line with a class 121 bubble car would be nice, or a 1970's version of the Avonmouth branch where they ran, maybe something for TSW2, although they aren't long routes.

    Always liked the look of the 128. Shame none were preserved, could have made an ideal motorised tool van for a preserved railway.

    I'd prefer a class 25 and a few CCTs to be honest. I suggested that as well but, not going to happen.

    This is a Manchester example, the Paddington ones had gangway ends.

    No more progress is being done to TSW2020 including preserved collection.

    No one has mentioned them on TSW2020. They could still be a potential suggestion for TSW2. Once again, you insist on down talking everyone elses suggestions yet never putting any of your own forward. You seem bored by keep repeating this point, and therefore, should stop reading the ideas of others.

    I hope that DTG continue to produce content from the BR period and they don't go back to their TS1 days where most of their releases were post privatisation, a good mixture would be nice.
