    A Thumper is a good proposal would be a great addition to TSW. When driving on TS 2020 just love the AP ‘s Class 205.

    Am I driving it correctly? It seems to require constant pull on the throttle, unlike other trains. So if you want to take an outside view or screenshots, you have to let it coast.

    Took a while to get it moving from start....

    I would love a Class 207; proper East Sussex Units! Especially good for a route like Uckfield to London Victoria :)

    Nostalgia is a funny thing, I "miss" the Thumpers, even though they were common at the time.
    With sounds as they are in the game engine, not sure if the individuality of the unit would shine?
