    There is no point in copying and pasting a Wikipedia page. Make it yourself and state why it would be a good train for this route and what additional/new gameplay it could provide.

    I'm not sure if that's in the same era as the current goblin line, so unsure about this suggestion. I guess it could come as like a rail tours thing if they happen, but not sure if the goblin line really fits the scope for rail tours.
