    company packs.
    These would be packs revolved around specific companies, like Colas Rail, DRS or GBRf etc.

    Each pack would add either two or three new locos (including some returning locos, like 66s/37s but with new modifications of course) in the company's livery.

    As an example; for Colas, it could add a 56, 70 and a 37 - each in the Colas livery of course.

    For DRS it could add the 68, 37, and maybe the 66 - again, all in the DRS livery with their own respective modifications... (Headlights/engines/cabs etc)

    I feel like this would make for some great packs and would be a nice way to introduce more companies to the game and add more gameplay, to all possible routes - as these (if possible) wouldn't be linked to any specific route, like how the ROG 37 is linked to SEHS, but layers onto other routes...

    Anything but more EWS 66s! hopefully a few more DRS bits may be possible as they let Rivet get their hands on their license for the 66.

    Haha yeah, exactly - I'm honestly not too bothered if we get more 66s, just so long as they're in different liveries and have different cosmetics.. I'm fed up of EWS 66s with the old lights. :|
    - Obviously I'd much rather an entirely new loco, like a 60, 70 or 56 but I'd settle for a new variant of 66 if I had to.

    I personally would like some 66s with the headlights shown below.. sadly only GBRf, Freightliner and Colas have 66s with them, so I doubt they'd be in the game anytime soon...

    Good idea. How about some US loco packs, too?!
    My suggestions for possible inclusions:
    -BNSF: C44-9W/AC44C4M Rebuild, SD70MAC(e), SD75M/I, ET44C4, GP60/M-3/B, B40-8W, GP38-2, GP39-3
    -UP: C45ACCTE (ES44AC), C45AH (ET44AC), SD70ACe-T4, GP60/E/GP62, GP40N, SD59MX, SD70M
    -CSX: ES44AH (including special and Heritage units), ET44AH, SD70AC, SD80MAC, SD40-3, GP40-3, GP38-3, SD23T4/ET23DCM
    -NS: SD70ACU, NS Heritage SD70ACes, NS Conrail Heritage ES44AC, SD70ACC, AC44C6M, SD40-2 Admiral Cab, SD80MAC
    -CN: SD70M-2, AC44C6M, SD40-2(W), GP40-2(W), GP38-2(W), SD75I/ACC, C44-9W, ES44AC, ET44AC (including Heritage units)
    -Amtrak: P42DC, ALC-42 Charger, P32-8BWH, Avelia Liberty, F40PH (Cabbage and original versions)

    Some additional British loco/livery ideas:

    -BR Class 70 (Freightliner)
    -BR Class 50 and Class 55 Deltic
    -BR Class 58
    -GBRf Class 69 (Rebuilt Class 56)
    -Class 57

    Yeah, they all sound like great ideas, I'm not too keen on American locos in general (no offence), but it'd still be nice to get more for those who do use them. I do like some, I just don't ever use them in game.
    But I definitely agree with all your UK loco suggestions, especially the 56/70/60 - I would pay great money to get those in the game! :love::love:
