    Does DTG have the license to do Eurostar for TSW 2? I’ve seen they did it for Train Simulator.

    Eurostar will not be coming to TSW 2 due to licensing issues

    And the one you saw was done by AHS, who can't publish it for license issues aswell.

    Here's a thought.

    It's not just licensing that stopping DTG developing this iconic train, it's actually the law. Moreover, it's actually the law that's stopping Eurostar from even letting DTG obtain any reference material. It's actually a criminal offence to take any photographs from the Eurostar depot in the UK. Staff are not allowed even to take photographs themselves, which is why very few photographs exist of inside North Pole Depot from then sets started operating.

    There might be a way to get round this. Thanks to the shortened sets that are used on the SNCF domestics Izy services.

    DTG might be able to legally gain the information they need to model the TGV TMST directly though SNCF, a organization they already have a good relationship with. OK, we won't have our lovely Eurostar livery, but life isn't perfect and you won't be able to tell from the cab! The Izy livery ain't that bad either. SNCF would probably insist that the set is livered to the current branding, otherwise the original SNCF TGV TMST livery would be a very good analogue to the Eurostar colours. They would be the shorter sets, however who would complain?

    Kind regards

    Richard

    Why is it against the law, do you know?
