With the excellent news of the extensions to SEHS - including the activation of previously inactive tracks. e.g. at Ripple Lane, I feel like the Class 92 would make an excellent loco DLC. It would offer * 3 driving modes (DC, UK AC and CTRL - with changes en route) * Freight services on both the classic and high speed lines of SEHS * Freight services on London to Brighton * Services on future routes, particularly involving the WCML, London Overground or other Southeastern lines * AI on the Bakerloo and Cathcart lines * Multiple liveries, at least 3 of which DTG have already licensed
This runs the Caledonian Sleeper Mk5s on WCML Over Shap 93 mi (150km) WCML North 100mi (160 km) if both TSC routes were to arrive in TSW 2. If the Channel Tunnel was built it will interact with my Belgian SNCB HLE18 Siemens SNCF BB37000 at Calais Frethun Yard where Class 92 runs a Channel Tunnel Freight that originated in Liege Kinkempois Triage/Strasbourg Neudorf using the UK Loading gauge freight Waggons. IF DTG wanted DLC locomotives to interact with each other. Class 92 intro now occurs at the Training Centre.
Not seen these on the classic lines (NKL), they do run through the CTRL and HS1 to Dagenham and then onto the C2C lines from there to the lines up the country
