    Since we already have a class 801 and we are getting the class 390 and WCML, would it be a possibility for a class 805 to be implemented onto the WCML as a backup to the 390 like they are in real life? I don't want to assume but I believe that the modelling shouldn't be too vastly different since they are the same family of trains, and since there has already been work done with avanti for the 390 it shouldn't be too hard to get back with them

    The Evero (class 805) is not a Back-up to the Class 390s.They are the replacement for Avanti's Voyager fleet.. TBH, I would be cool but they only entered service back in June so it might be a bit early to see them in TSW

    I would like voyagers because of the era, but I like your idea of the 805. Maybe later on when the voyagers are fully gone from avanti, currently they are still running with avanti.

    I would fully support this idea. Not only is the 805 itself pretty nice, but it would also open the door for other bi-mode IETs since DTG seemed to not be very in favour of simply converting their 801 into an 800. Correct me if I'm wrong but don't the 805s have the same diesel setup as the 802s?
