    Anyone else noticing some performance hits when the 86 and new coaches are around or being used?

    The WCMLoS route seemed to have gotten a lot better after the recent updates but I'm now back to big performance drops when using the 86 and a Mk2f/RMB rake around Carlisle, Preston, Lancaster especially or when one rolls through etc.....

    19th September 1986 86211 was involved in the Colwich Accident and was scrapped.

    Many thanks. As an ex resident I am on the look out for 86255 Penrith Beacon. No sign of it yet.

    If the withdrawn loco is the only one missing that would be 86211 City of Milton Keynes, which was an ironic name as Milton Keynes didn't become a city until 2022 some 36 years after the loco was written off in the Colwich crash with 86429 The Times.

    Which would be a bit of an irony if it is not included in the pack given that it is set in June 1986 (though totally understandable).
