    If I was to bet my chances I would say Australia has better chances at being in TSW than many countries, though with better chances I would also say I wouldn’t hold my breath.:)

    Would love to see Australia in game especially Sydney or Brisbane, the sydney to Brisbane route would currently be to long unfortunately. From what i see dtg aim routes to be 25 mi (40 km) - 75 mi (121 km). Sometimes routes will exceeded theese but rarely go over 100 mi (161 km)

    Most Australian interest in train simming seems focused on Trainz (huge NSW freeware network) or even older MSTS where most of the developers seem to have quit the scene and sites like SteamForMe shut down. So while an Aussie or even NZ route would be nice, realistically seems unlikely.

    Maybe, but you still need to convince people that it’s worth switching to TSW. And the simple fact is, no commercial operation seems interested in developing Aussie content for either TSW or TSC. The editor DTG gave us for TSW still cannot officially “cook” anything even if a freeware author created a route. Not to mention you would need the traction and rolling stock assets to go with it.

    How about Perth Western Australia Narrow Gauge commuter I do have a suggestion on it the Mandurah Line. That city is much closer to the United Kingdom since it has a direct flight to London Heathrow

    I would prefer a Western Australia iron ore route with SD70ACes and ES44s for dragging long, heavy trains of ore hoppers through the Outback. An AC6000CW to recreate the world's longest and heaviest freight train record would be awesome, too.
