    On the Just Trains website - it states that the Blackpool Branches addon can utilise either Tees Valley or West Cornwall Local for the Class 37 and their respective wagons... however, this locomotive is missing from both the vehicle selection menu (it's an AI layer now that I'm looking deeper into it) - but is also missing on the AI layers too, I have not seen a single class 37 when driving.

    Has anyone else seen a class 37 when driving in Blackpool Branches? Or is it missing in the form of a bug?

    I believe I saw a class 37 sitting at Preston with a freight train once but only once. I see more Class 45s & 40s then 37s. Then again, I rarely see Class 31s on the route without me spawning them in.. I hope this is fixed for Over Shap (as I'm calling it) or better - the Class 37 getting the same upgrade as the 47s

    Edit - I've just realised this is about the Steam version of TSW, I just want to point out I play on Xbox Series S but I should be the same

    I too hope that the 37 gets some more love in the future, especially for Over Shap (I am ABSOLUTELY excited for that route) - thank you anyways Oakley, nice to know the 37 exists in some way on Blackpool.

    Yes there are a lot a.i 37s with hea, pca, bba wagons going through preston. A few stop and stay there for a while.

    Actually jts blackpool route is the only tsw4 route, where substitution works well and all the locomotives appear in a mix.

    (Dtg managed even to break the entire substitution system since the release of tsw4 on many of their routes. For example riesa dresden (99.99% are 185.5). Semmering has not a single vectron ever appeared on a consist, Lindau - bludenz has not a single 1116 appearing in substitution. Total amateurish mess.., even they claimed to have fixed this.

    my name isn't Oakley.. Oaklymoss was a OO Gauge Exhibition Layout I had. I honestly wish I could change my username.

    I do believe that Over Shap will be the best TSW DLC.

    You've probably been told before, but in case you haven't, directly message an admin, and they'll change it for you.

    Literally yesterday, I decided to a bit of virtual train spotting at Preston and guess who decides to bring in the 1312 Freight Service - 37504!

    I have seen them pop up a fair bit, I do also spend a large amount of time on the route.

    I absolutley love this route. It's really the only route I've played on when I don't have anything in mind.. Even though the majority of the AI traffic is 47s, I love watching the trains do their thing at Preston.. Can't wait to do the same at Carlisle and Preston on 'Over Shap'.. I wish that the Class 20 had more services apart from the multi-part railtour
