Train Sim World 3 Class 201 Thumper

One thing I would love to see in train sim would is The British Rail Class 201 diesel-electric multiple units. They could be used for rail tour services within the game as a loco dlc.1001, was preserved by Hastings Diesels Ltd., which is based at St Leonards-on-Sea. Vehicle no. 60000 has been named Hastings after the town which it previously worked to. So sounds and other things can be recorded from the real thing.

Any chance the Class 201 Thumper could be added?

 

Yeeeereeessssssss.

 

Would LOVE to see the thumper added. Would be nice to see it included in the 3rd Loco Bundle. Could be used as to operate railtours on London Commuter

 

Class 201 as railtours on London Commuter is a good idea.

 

thanks

 

I would love to see this added as long as they get the sounds right.

 

Yes that is a good idea. DTG could make a back dated route. from when the London Bridge - Uckfield route was just Oxted- Uckfield they could make it that. with the good old Connex Thumpers!

 

Yes a Thumper would be a great idea I remember travelling on them at Hastings .. Not sure if they would add something new to the game just to work a railtour ? A railtour would be good tho or a new route out of Hastings that could include them .So it gets my vote and hopefully we might get to see one included

 

Armstrong Powerhouse did a good job on them with TSC.

 

Actually one of the few AP sound sets that disappointed. Full throttle failed to capture that quintessential purring roar, sounded more like a fast idle.

 

It would probably be a prudent decision to build the Class 201 alongside the remarkably similar Class 202 and 203 DEMUs in order to save time and resources. The primary difference is only in the length of the carriages with Class 201 being 6 car sets with short underframe and the Class 202 and 203 built on the longer underframe more akin to the standard Mk1 coaches. Class 202 and 203 on differ in terms of buffet car arrangement within sets. Saving time in the way suggested is something that I am surprised has not been done before with the likes of the Class 166 on GWE which only requires minimal work to create a Class 165/1 as well as subclasses of the Class 377 family on both ECW and BML. This would really help to fill out the locomotive roster with less fuss than having to start completely from scratch each time. Back on topic, great suggestion with Southern DEMUs much needed.
