    Please, when it comes to the next/future DLC can DTG consider making more than one new loco and not a slight variation or different livery. I saw the article today about the new bundle and whilst I was excited about at rail head cleaner I was slightly disappointed by another 66 and another 182.
    Hopefully if a new route in a new region is created we will get new locos and not updated versions of old ones which we can't tell apart in loco selection.

    I couldn't agree more. For too long dtg has recycling locos over and over. Whilst we have had some exceptions, most of the recent routes have had revisions of the same train.

    I parsley agree. On one hand a new locomotive would be nice like you said with the class 88, but on the other hand, a new constance would be nice for the locomotives if say they are doing some older ones, like the F7s from the article, they could have made it a passenger train

    I totally agree with the ATSF F7s needing a Super Chief or El Capitan passenger consist. However, the ATSF F-Units were retired in the 1970s and 80s and replaced by newer FP45s, U30CGs, and U28CGs in passenger services. Many F-units were rebuilt as CF7s by the Santa Fe.
    I would have preferred a GP60/GP60M/GP60B, Genset Switcher, GP50, GP39-3, C44-9W, SD70ACe(P4), ET44C4, or SD70MAC for Cajon Pass.

    OBB Baureihe 1016/1116 with Railjet Wiesel Dosto and Nightjet WLAB Sleeper Carriages 1216 Nightjet New Generation can also do the 1016/1116 jobs.
    They are Basically the same as a DB BR182 MRCE & Dispolok 182s
    EMU Obb Baureihe 4746 4758 Talent 3 these are unique and can substitute a Deutsche Bahn EMU because OBB has used the same PZB as Deutsche Bahn when it was called Deutsche Bundesbahn since 1963.
    Dutch Railways NS ICNG has a different taste of Intercity EMU using ATB EG NG ETCS 1.5kv DC and can be found on HDU merged form with HRR the HDBU running alongside DB BR408/407 Velaro D DB BR189 & 193 on that route. For those that are wondering that does HDU and HDBU means
    Hollandstrecke Duisburg Utrecht 156 km merged form with HRR using Mulheim Styrum junction is Hollandstrecke Duisburg/Bochum Utrecht 202 km (broken down as 156 km Duisburg Utrecht with the 46 km length of Hauptstrecke Rhein-Ruhr)
    Looking for a Local S-Bahn train that can do both HDBU S3 Oberhausen to Essen Steele Ost and RE19 Duisburg Arnhem the DB BR1429/1428 Tri voltage also layers to RRO as the S9 using the latest 2022 schedule

    I think the last totally new diesel which we hadn't seen before I believe was the class 20 which was released early summer 2020 over two years ago.

    It was the Class 20 and that kinda sucks, cause there is so many British diesels that could be made for existing routes, and not mention how the 101 and 66 basically became Poster boys as the Classic MU and Modern Freight Diesel,
    I made a Post a few days ago about a Classic MUs pack to hopefully do some catchup i seriously want something original in the Classic British sector.

    Your right, when DTG announces a new BR-era route, there is a 90% chance that the Multiple Unit for it is a 101 same goes to modern freight with the 66. Dovetail, other British freight locomotives exist are some of them (such as the 68) are better then the 66..

    Also whenever DTG announce a new modern Southern (or South Eastern) route, there is also the chance that we will get another Electrostar. Due to this, the 101, 66 and all electrostars are my least favourite trains/locomotives in game..

    Most recently, DTG released the RHTT to TSW3. They could have brought in a new locomotive to haul these like a GBRf 73 for example but no, they had to bring in a weathered 66..

    They need to consider a 1987 paint for Pacer then have that run Tees Valley Line. What DTG needs are 1980s-1990s locomotive like the Bone Class 58 and Class 60 Tug

    I 100% agree that TVL deserves a pacer but loco wise I would prefer we got a 56 which could be used on both TVL and NTP now, and a 60 coming with a route in the future.

    Which version of Class 56 Romanian build 001-030 or 031 and up BREL. For the Pacer TVL with WCL Pacer couples to the end of Class 150.

    The later British built one as there were more of them and the romanian ones never strayed far from Tinsley or Doncaster due to their frequent reliability issues.

    Ok then but for the Romanian version, they can suit MML Tinsley ECML York Doncaster Peterborough. If we get a Class 56 Romanian Build that can allow DTG to make a DR Baureihe 119 also made in Romania for Riesa-Dresden Tharandter Rampe and Rapid Transit with a matching Rekowagen.

    You do realise that the differences between the British built and romanian units is not that large and mostly just cosmetic.
