    HI

    Not sure if some1 has suggested it but i would like to see/drive the IORE 101/108/112? from LKAB/MKAB
    This huge electric double loco is quite imperessive.
    A route with it would be great and would add some country variety.

    would love to drive that thing in game :) ... btw got bored at work so I checked a list/chart of strongest locomotives ever on WikiPedia, and had the list set on Tractive effort order, and this bonkers machine from China got on top:

    6 freaking sections, over 105m in length, almost 1600 kN tractive effort, 4 pantos, 2 cabs... hauling approx. 10000 tons of coal on like 265km line... so, bonkers and impressive at the same time (I am generally pretty critical of China, and still am, cos of communism and stuff, so I know all these railway achievements come at a cost elsewhere... just to be clear)

    I'd rather not dwell into political affairs, but what's the problem with communism?

    About the DLC, this would be great.

    too many to list here, but for this specific case, well, a lot of stuff in communism is about propaganda, and a big part of Chinese propaganda is to do absurdly huge things to impress ppl also in the west to appear as if everything is so great... like, most countries in the world if not all would just hook up 6 or so locos to haul those trains, but apparently some government official wanted to impress, so they created this monster :D

    Nice suggestion but it definitely Needs a route, since TSW5 doesn't have any Chinese routes (only TSC has) they'll have to make a completely new route and then include the train or as a separate add on.
