Forgot about that and what is the surviving FEF 4-8-4 number because it must be rendered 1 to 1 in TSW 2
A rogue one but an LNER J70/GER C53 (or Toby the tram engine). Would be fun to have a quirky tramway in tsw!
Matching passenger coach GER Henrietta type 4 axle wagon. If you want something older from the 1800s with 140 kmh (85 mph) max speed Stirling Single Emily. If you want to stay within Thomas and Friends you are looking at DB BR 010 Freida type West German steam locomotive home route Bamberg Hof railway or Köln Koblenz.
There is one locomotive I would like to see as a DLC for the new Steam route is the LMS Beyer Garratt which were a wheel arrangement of 2-6-0+0-6-2T and they had 33 locomotives which the first 3 we're built in 1927 and the last 30 we're built in 1930 by Beyer, Peacock and Co. They were used mostly in freight service and there was one time that one Garratt pulled 20 coaches and the railroad began to withdrawal them service between 1955 to 1958.
I think the Garratts would add a brilliant experience to the game as they are completely different to anything else ever on our network.
A garratt would certainly be interesting. Although this route would probably be a bit too late for them since there was only a single one in service in 1958, and it was withdrawn by April
What year. Because they used to have an operational camelback. The only engine to arrive there under its own power.
It went to the Strasbourg Railroad in 1962 and it used to pull excursions on the mainline but it didn't preform that well so they used for yard switching and in 1967 the locomotive was retired and in 2020 a railroad museum in Ohio bought it.
The next steam locomotive I would like to see is the LMS Compound 4-4-0 which were build between 1924 til 1932 which they build 195 locomotives, 25 from the North British Locomotive Company, 20 from LMS Horwich, 75 from LMS Derby, and 75 from Vulcan Foundry and they were used mostly in passenger service and the LMS began retiring them between 1952 to 1961 and they were all scrapped.
Yes they are such an iconic design but DTG may have trouble recreating one as they no longer exist to get sounds for.
For Germany I'd definetely love to see the legendary BR 01, perhaps paired with the BR 44 and 23 on the Moselstrecke (which I suggested here), and then even 1st gen diesels being possible as DLC's. BR 01 on the Moselstrecke with an express train, near the Kinderbeurer tunnel. BR 44, nicknamed 'Jumbo' with mixed freight on the Moselstrecke between Winningen and Kobern. A BR 23 with a local train consisting of 4-axle 'umbauwagen' in the same location as the previous picture. That route and those locos would be absolutely fantastic for Germany, and as previously mentioned some diesel DLC (such as the BR 216 or BR 634) could be there to please diesel fans, while just the BR 01, 23 and 44 could already provide a pretty full timetable.
The next steam locomotive I would like to see in the game if they do a route set on the South African Railways set in 1984. The locomotives I would like to see are the South African class 25NC 4-8-4s which were built in 1953 from the North British Locomotive Company and I would like to the 4-8-4 that had a condensing tender which exhausted steam was caught in the tender to turn back into water and Beyer Garratt which ran in South Africa and here's a video of the condenser locomotive in 1986 https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WueHGOCP8b8&ved=2ahUKEwjuvZuoxrD3AhUUP30KHYx2C7IQxa8BegQICxAE&usg=AOvVaw3cs4RqWb4MXXpURuCxBb_0
Have you considered German Democratic Republic Deutsche Reichsbahn 18 201 52.80 65.10 these are German Steam locomotives from former East Germany. This is what you would find on a steam locomotive service on Tharandter Rampe Dresden Chemnitz route. Spoiler: East German steam locomotives marking If based in Chemnitz Hilbersdorf this is written as BW Karl Marx Stadt
There is one British Locomotive that the LMS railway had but it was built in America and imported during WW2 is the USATC S160 2-8-0 which the LMS had 50 locomotives and they were built by Baldwin, Alco, and Lima Locomotive Works and they were import across the Atlantic ocean for war use for transportating supplies and weapons in UK on the GWR, LNER, and LMS Railways.
