    The new WSR timetable is great, but it’s still missing some trains that deserve to be included. Here are some.

    Class 52 (blue version)
    Class 43 (yes it has been there before)
    8F
    6P
    Class 150 (yes it’s also been there)

    There should also be ai services at Norton Fitzwarren on the mainline. The Class 43 and 66 would probably be the best fit.

    Steam trains can also access the turntable at Minehead and possibly use the water tower.

    Let me know what you guys think.

    agreed.. not sure on the AI servces at Norton though.. didn't the 150s only go as far as Bishops Lydeard when GWR operated them to the WSR in the summer of 2019? also when did a HST go to the WSR?

    WSR is set during diesel gala, so... (Maybe "Steamers of the West Somerset" DLC?) Blue br Class 52 would probably decrease importance of br Class 52 DLC. br Class 43 and br Class 150 would definitely be great.

    Also accesing water tower would need them to modify route (they can do it though, like they did with Meissen branch on DRA), because that water tower is likely just a decoration since there was no steam trains back then

    The 150 would still be a good ai service if it doesn’t stop at Norton. There are a few videos of the HST on the line, it has happened
