    1. The 165 is fair play
    2. The 150 & 158 (from what I can find) didn't operate out of Paddington in Thames Valley
    3. The 800/802 both weren't in operation when GWE is set, and the OHLE isn't set up either.
    4. The 803 operates the ECML with East Coast Trains, so where you getting that one from?
    5. The 769 doesn't fit the Era, at all really.
    6. 387... Along with the IETs why can't people just realise the OHLE isn't there.
    7. The HST/166 in FGW would be good if actually released, if you play on PC there is a mod which unlocks that livery from the files.
    8. I can actually support this. Don't know about era but still. (180)

    If you are paying close attention in game the overhead wires are up to Hayes and Harlington therefore Class 387 can be layered from BML to this route by actually running up to Hayes and Harlington then back to London Paddington Station. On the other hand Class 800 802 & 803 require LGV Mediterranean Line Avignon-Marsellie style messages to continue the journey forward please change to diesel mode outbound past Hayes and Harlington but in bound service electric mode at Hayes and Harlington. Class 150 does need 1989 paint for TVL services if added to GWML

    They have already confirmed that they're not going to add it.

    The 165, 180 and FGW versions of the 43 and 165 are the most viable options, although FGW licensing might be impossible (as they already tried that with the hidden FGW variants, which they had to pull back last minute).

    No, Dovetail recently said in a livestream the the OHLE can't be added, for that to happen they would need to rebuild the route from scratch.
    Also the 150 and 158 don't operate on this section of the GWML so that won't ever happen either.

    I think we all know the OHLE is in it.
    But it isn't active, it's basically just scenery. Plus they wouldn't make an updated 387 for some shuttle runs. As for the IETs DTG have said it's unlikely (it's never going to happen, honestly).

    Okay then but for the IET is from Train Sim 21 therefore it must come to TSW2 as one of those trains originally in Sister Game Train Sim 21 just like DB BR423 TS21 version of HMA

    Just because it is in TS21 doesn't mean it has to come to TSW. Don't know where you got that logic from.

    GWE is an old route and has no more capacity to add any new content at the moment. Console players still haven’t got the full timetable because of this issue. That means no new trains. That concludes this public service announcement. For some different trains (not these) in an alternative timetable on the route try the Diesel Legends of the Great Western DLC for GWE. You get to drive the Class 101 on timetable services, which is nice.

    They were originally going to include the first great western livery but First group didn’t allow them to.
