    I think the WHL would be a good route to have, but it's a bit long.

    I managed to find the lengths of sections and if it were made this is the best way to get it, realistically;
    • North Clyde Line (Airdrie - Helensburgh w/ branches & Glasgow Queen Street, Class 334, Class 318)
    • WHL: Fort William - Mallaig (Class 156 + 153 & Jacobite)
    • WHL: Crianlarch - Fort William (Class 156 + 153)
    • WHL: Helensburgh Upper - Oban (Class 156 + 153)
    With the potential of course for linking/merging, and the strong potential for a BR Era timetable, using a Regional Railways/SPT Class 156, BR Scotrail Class 37 with MK1 coaches.

    Also, heads up;
    The Class 158 & 170 don't run on this line.

    But I do agree I would love to see the West Highland Line, even if broken down.

    WHL was one of my favourites route in Train Simulator, especially the section through Rannoch Moor offered a unique landscape.

    Yes ik the 158 and 170 dont opperate on WHL but if you had actually read the stations and services, you would have saw that i also added in the Maryhill line (just a 2 stop branch off of the WHL so i thought it would be fine) but yeah mabye it would be a bit too long to fit in 1 route but i like the idea of SPT 156

    I think due to Length Restrictions at most Dovetail Games might only make the Glqs-Oban. It wouldnt be able to go as far as Mallaig or Fort William.
