    It would be great to get the class 156 and or 158 in East Midlands trains/East Midlands railway livery, with a Nottingham to derby route or Liverpool lime street.

    Sprinter classes are much needed.

    So long as they get the physics right, not the botched implementation in classic TS20xx where Notches 1 - 6 simply gave a speed cap, regardless of going up or down hill.

    Definitely up for a ‘Sprinter Pack’. 150, 156, 158 and possibly a pacer too? I’d pay top dollar for that. Money no object :)

    How about GWR Sprinter pack provided DTG makes GWML Bristol area and South Wales Mainline. Train Sim 21 owners have access for GWR Sprinters. For GWR use of Class 158 it's the Portsmouth Bristol Swansea service Wessex Main Line

    I agree, and they must get their distinct sounds right, not to mention the thick black fumes when starting up

    Yes the 158 in particular has quite a melodious hum at lower speed, but once in Notch 7 at 90 MPH it has a more ragged purr.
