    It will be very good if we could get the LNER union pacific A4 mallard considering we already have the LNER A3 flying scotsman.It would be nice to have the world’s famous record breaker.It will also pull the famous pullmans

    The world's fastest steam loco would be really nice in TSW.

    The both historic steam routes we have. Crewe-Liverpool and Peak Forrest.

    Again, what part of no more steam loco development is not sinking in?!

    Perhaps it's time for DTG to start looking at it again.

    Clearly steam is more popular than they thought.

    she never ran on those lines. the two TSW steam routes are ex-LMS lines, whereas Mallard ran on the ex-LNER lines such as the ECML

    Then we should use the current ECML route. The Diesel Legends for GWE came also in the new GWE environment. And a lot of people have their fun with it. It's like in real life. You will not get everything at 100 %.
