    I wonder if anyone else would like some DLC containing variations for some of the types we currently have. A few suggestions are...

    Class 20 with headcode boxes
    Class 31 with cab vents instead of headcode boxes
    Class 33/1 with jumper system and rub plates
    Class 37 with single and split headcode boxes
    Class 40 with split headcode boxes
    Class 43 with Valenta power and older headlamps
    Class 45 modified to become Classes 44 and 46
    Class 47 modified to become sole Class 48
    Class 101 modified to become Class 111
    Class 166 modified to become Class 165

    Most of these require minor art or sound changes but remaining largely the same.
    I'm sure there are more which wouldn't require a ground up redraw.

    When the Great Western makes it into the preserved collection, I would absolutely be interested in different skin packs for the HST. The Blue / Gold and Intercity Swallow liveries would be a must, as would a Valenta sound mod. They could safely skip the Green / Cream monstrosity that FGW first used when they took over the franchise, but I wouldn't turn down a dark blue swirl livery if one was offered.

    It would obviously take 3D modelling changes which would likely make it impractical, but the Class 252 (aka 41001) would be a nice bit of DLC as well ;)

    Are you referring to the prototype HST set?
    Sounds good.
    These suggestions would give us a bit more variety with little major work.
    Perhaps a pack of multiple dlc modifications with a reasonable price. I'd pay.

    Class 33/2 would be good. Proper Sussex locos.

    Made to a narrow profile for the Hastings area. These would require a bit more work than the /1's but still very worthy.
    One day I would like to have every class that had a TOPS class number in my collection. Still a long way to go. As you may notice, I am a predominantly British train fan.
