    You're not supposed to ask but to post your suggestion in here ;). Preferably put the suggestion in the thread title. DTG can then quickly evaluate what's wanted upon the likes the thread received instead of reading each individual post in here.

    For the UK we need a secondary branch or cross country route, maybe something like the Somerset and Dorset, Banbury to Cheltenham or maybe part of the “Withered Arm” around Barnstaple. A nice branch line like Fairford or the Tanat Valley network would be fun too. For the main line, Great Central Woodford Halse to Annesley would be superb.

    I would love to see the old East Lincolnshire Line from Boston to Grimsby and the branch to Skeggie in the early 50s with a V2 and a B1.

    Anyway I must return back from dreamland to the real world!!

    Oh yes! I think part of that might have rocked up in BVE/OpenBVE. Also the Lincoln 1952 traffic simulation from SIAM features traffic off towards the old GN line from there, providing you don't mind spending a fortune on an old DOS game, runs in DFend. SIAM prices, even for their ancient stuff, make DTG look like great value.

    Western Maryland RR from Cumberland, MD to Elkins, Wv with a run up the Thomas sub. I know its a long route but it would be cool to see it done.

    Don't know much about steam routes in general, but based upon my TSC collection I'd love to see the Wutachtalbahn and Clear Creek make a reappearance in TSW.

    I don't see any US steam routes coming from DTG in the future, most mainline steam locos from most major railroads were pretty large and complicated, and we would only really get one probably paired with an F7 for a 50's route, which means we would get stuck with A-B runs, and no yard work....

    You could do narrow gauge, but given how TSW is depended on the timetable mode, and how the recent ACE proposal didn't generate much interest based on the lack of services, that option probably wont fly for TSW either....

    Is it going the other way or towards Pennsylvania by having the Western Maryland Viaduct at Mayersville Pennsylvania active which is on Sand Patch Grade.

    I'd like to see the Tyne Valley line: Linking Newcastle to Carlisle via Hexham a -58 miles route and one of the earliest in England! Predominantly, rolling stock on the Tyne Valley Line consists of Class 156 and Class 158 diesel multiple units, both of which were introduced in to service in the late 1980s. The Tyne Valley Line is also used for freight, and is an important diversionary route at times when the East Coast Main Line is closed. The line, however, is not electrified. The first section opened in 1835 and complete line completed in 1839. It has notable engineering features at the West (Carlisle) end and has been described as "a rewarding and memorable experience for users".
