Ner Locomotives For Weardale & Teesdale

My first forum thread!

I've been observing the Weardale & Teesdale Route Add-On, and I've been noticing a lack of suitable rolling stock from the LNER era. Weardale & Teesdale is mostly branch lines and secondary routes, and the only main line I see is from Darlington to Durham. So I made this thread to tell you my ideas of suitable rolling stock not just from the LNER era, but also the pre-grouping era.

Not quite NER, but of the same era and worked into Barnard Castle and Darlington... https://www.facebook.com/SteamSound...36529.147804742037949/943643979120684/?type=3

 

I agree! An A8 4-6-2T, G5 0-4-4T or J21 0-6-0 would be great.

 

We're currently working on the Raven LNER Q6 (NER T2) and we have reference material for the J21 at a future date.

Weardale is a fantastic network and definitely needs more engines to run on it.

 

Interesting.

 

VW is actually making an NER engine for Weardale and Teesdale.

 

I think there's a good opportunity for a mutually beneficial collaboration between DTG, or some other developer, and the G5 Locomotive Company (www.g5locomotive.co.uk- usual disclaimer, based in Shildon very appropriately). I was there a few weeks ago and know for a fact there's some interest in the idea.

 

Some more native traction for W&T?!
BRING IT ON!

How about some Stockton and Darlington Locos for those who really like the pre-grouping scene!
