Hence the wink after the sentence.

I have 3 points of view on the 80xs of which are staff, passenger and enthusiast. From a staff point of view they are heaven and I much prefer...

I have no interest in non-British content so a fiver for the 37 on SEHS is a good deal I say. SEHS is turning out to be up there with the BR...

A British accent could be anything from Kings English to Scottish or Welsh so yes they do sound different. There is not one accent which is...

Yes that is what I meant when I said it doesn't have a growl.

Technically welsh is a British accent.

No the branch on this route would be the line to Nottingham. I am not disagreeing but just saying branches have been/are being done.

The mml route which is upcoming has both the lines to Nottingham and Derby and BCC has the Redditch branch.

Never said they couldn't but that I didn't want to comment further on the licensing because it could get me in trouble. Hull trains on the ECML...

Glad I could please!! Any section of the ECML with a Deltic would be hard to beat.

Ah I wasn't sure about the spares as last time I took notice of them they were still vtec red (which is bad considering I go past there near on...

We still had a few HSTs bombing about when 700s started going to Peterborough. Also I believe all of our operational 225s are in the 'new' livery.

The woodhead line is a route which cannot be done modern and must be done it's full entire pre-rationalised form from manchester to sheffield. I...

I have to agree that if you want a mainline route in this area it's got to be the ECML. The loop is a diversion from the EC so I know it well and...

This route would be under ten miles and incredibly dull. Sorry to be blunt but I can't find anything I like about this suggestion mate.

Really!! I think the thing which makes them sound less powerful is I don't feel they have the greatest growl on them.

The 68s are alright but I still feel their sense of power isn't as great as the peaks or whistlers.

The highly speculative on this forum reckon the 30th could be the day however that is based on no official info.

Personally the best thing about NTP is it's era as it makes you feel the scale of the hills and has a better sense of power.

It is possible to keep on time. Maybe you need to adjust your driving style slightly.

A 25 and a 123/124 would be excellent!!

The pack wouldn't necessarily need all the trains to be of the same traction though. A better dlc for mml would be a meridian. GWE is set 2015 so...

Are any of these even in traffic yet? GWE is not the right era for them.

Brilliant suggestion mate. This is a lovely route and one I love taking in real life as it gives me a nice change from my usual high speed action....

Nice to see you with another suggestion mate! I think it would be a nice change from SE 3rd rail routes so could be interesting to have in game.

To be fair to my mrs everything about our lives is to do with the railway: our house backs on to the ECML, I've worked on the railway for longer...

Fair dos.

Really this would need to be ECML London-Peterborough and add the GN services in.

Not really a suggestion I can back in any way. Would be an incredibly dull dlc no matter the era.

Only if that's what the wife did after my latest purchases at the start of the month. Instead I had a broom thrown at me and given a list of jobs...

This past week I have been playing a mixture of West Cornwall, NTP, Brum and Edinburgh-Glasgow without any issues on the s series well apart from...

Where have you seen this mate?

Wholeheartedly agree mate. The MUs don't give me the same sense of enjoyment or power as the locos do. Ideally I would like to see a 70s BR blue...

Very good suggestion mate. I made a suggestion for the route in my preferred era of the 80s but the route would still be a gooden even if done...

No I haven't been to any of these but the one I go to is about 20-30 mins down the road in Peterborough called trains4u who are very nice and...

Who says it's a minority? I most definitely would like to see some longer routes as I find the short and slow stop start stuff incredibly dull.

Good suggestion mate, especially with the push pull sets which became icons of the line. We need a route in the east.

Mmm yes good idea the prices are a bit barmy for these sorts of things. It's quite a nice line and a shame it's a good 4 hour drive from where I...

Ha don't worry. I've already seen that and managed to convince the wife that we should go to Swanage for the weekend. Obviously when we go there...

If there has to be another scottish route I think it has got to be backdated after two modern ones.

There's got to be a peak rail tour for the MML as they are synonymous with it.

Route: Great Western Express Loco: BR Class 45 [ATTACH]

Route: West Cornwall Local Locos: BR Class 45 and BR Class 08 [ATTACH]

I have got to be totally honest and fair here and although I don't want to see more one unit modern commuter routes BCC is a very good route and...

Now you say it that does sound good as we would also be able to give the 45s a good run with their cross country services on that section too!

Sorry I hadn't seen it when I started typing that out so I've now gone and typed pretty much the same thing out on there!!

As I said it is a brilliant suggestion and has good potential as a TSW intercity route. Also as I said, if having it modern, it would probably be...

2019 would be perfect if you want it modern though personally I would go late 70s/early 80s to have Deltics and Valentas. In 2019 Azumas were...

It's like I'm a mind reader!! I very much look forward to it as it's my home stretch of the line.

That would be due to the route using continuous welded rail which is used in real life so apart from points you won't get the 'clickety, clack' sound.
