    Apologies if this already posted but can't help but think this is a hint of something that might be in the pipeline for Spirit Of Steam, or maybe even an all new steam route...

    It is not, it is an old billboard.

    Certainly could be (once they've fixed steam).
    I never realised these things were built in such numbers - 842 Class 5s according to Wikipedia, and even more 8Fs! Every day's a school day! :D

    It’s an old joke from TSC days apparently. Something to do with the sounds from a Black 5 being used for many steam trains in TSC routes. Hence “Sounds like a Black Five”.

    Well I am sure if you ask nicely DTG will just make trains and routes you want!

    To be honest a LMR steam route without a black five would be like having a GWR route without a Pannier tank or fish without chips. It would be nice if/when there is some SOS steam DLC it was something different like a BR standard 4mt or an Hughes Crab although I suspect a black five is the most likely contender.
