I don't think DTG will do a Deltic anytime soon, they seem obsessed with doing endless versions of German S-Bahn trains which are more or less identical.
I like German railways but it's getting really boring at this point, as opposed to Britain where there are loads of liveries, stations, routes, trains and scenery, so much potential they are missing, not just the UK but elsewhere.
kinda offensive to be honest, DTG is NOT obsessed with German only because they prioitize more doesnt mean that to give hate on german routes, everyone can have their own opinion, sure but dont complain about it just because of the amount of german routes, also there was this more uk routes than german routes thing
Fair point, but you have to admit they have been focusing on german routes until SEHS, if you like the german route that's fair, I like rapid transit and Ascheffenburg - Gemunden, but I do think they're all a bit similar.
I find the English lines just fine but the English trains are too alike it's really not like France the class 37 is the same as the class 45 ditto for the class55 frankly I find these trains good but are very similar it's not like in Germany 218 or 232 or as in France with 72000, 67400 or 67200
The only similarity between those trains is that they have noses that stick out. The english trains aren’t all the same. Compare a class 33 with a class 47 and a class 66 for example. They are massively different. Plus the 67400 and 67200 look extremely similar
I'd be interested to hear why DTG are seemingly reluctant to give us a Deltic, or at least acknowledge that it's something many a dieselist wants. If it was some weird, rare and almost unheard of lump, I could understand why there has been no enthusiasm by the developers to let us at it, but it has to be one of the, if not the most iconic diesel locos ever nailed together and has a huge fan base, both young and old. If what DTG say about listening to what people want rings true, surely the desire for a Deltic is way up there and it does seem strange that they have thus far ignored it. I hope that they do have it on a back burner somewhere on their development to do list as a mega project with plans afoot to create one hell of a period correct route with other era correct traffic. I was surprised that we never got one for TSW1/2020, but worked on the assumption that the limitations of those versions of the game would have meant a watered down route experience, or worse still, a slow, lumbering heritage line akin to WSR, rather than a full bore blast on a decent stretch of line...and lets be honest, if you have a Deltic, you want to be able to open the taps and let it stretch its legs. With TSW2's capability to do longer routes now though, I'd be stunned if we didn't see one before the life of the game had run its course.
Agreed - if we get the line from London to Brighton, it would be nice to have it set at the time when the Class 442 was running the Gatwick Express - It'd add quite a bit more variety and could also set up the 442 for future use on a Portsmouth Direct Line route, if it ever gets made.
I can also recommend when peeps come to Cornwall going to Lappa Valley to ride on the mini Deltic- The City of Derby. The track bed is part of the old Newquay to Truro/Redruth Line!
