    The 150/1 as a stand alone purchase in Original Provincial livery would be great for BR routes as this livery was carried from 1985-1992 so covers a large period of time in the later BR years and they did travel far and wide. If the later revised Provincial 'running man' version was done also some units carried that until around 1998/99.

    Blackpool branches, Tees valley. Could be considered for the Northern Pennine route with a little creative licence as they would have been around from 85 onwards.

    Tees Valley is more likely given it is set after the 150s started service.

    Great suggestion, I would include this on Tees Valley Line and then it can layer back onto Blackpool Branches, but hopefully the sounds would be done properly compared to the West Cornwall Local 150/2 :)

    As long as Rivet have no hand in making it, since to put it lightly the 150/2 is not great, then I would want it.

    This would be great to the Blackpool route. It wouldn't have really been seen on TVL, Heaton never had any class 150's in that time period, in fact I am not sure Heaton has ever had class 150's.

    I would definatley like to see a class 150/1 in original condition, I remember them from my childhood when they were new on the line through Stourbridge and later as a commuter.
