Introduction,The main idea: Following from the highly anticipated Class 86 + Mk2s bundle coming from Just Trains why not complete the trio with the Class 90 electric Locomotive, this could come with the standard but iconic Intercity Swallow livery. These Locomotives just like their older counterparts operated on express services between London and Scotland and often other destinations in between. Capable of 110 mph these could run in unison or taking part in rescue runs with the Class 87. Or the usual freight run but I'm not too sure if the Intercity 90s took part in the Freight services. Routes this train could be included in: Obviously the main contender being the WCML: Preston - Carlisle running express services between the two cities. Another route these Locomotives could show up in would be The Friday Charter service that occurred back in 2022, these were services that ran from London up to Manchester, Birmingham Etc and would give players a nice transition between the old and the new traction. Extra bits and bobs: For the finishing touch, the MK3 DVT could be included with the Class 90 as a bundle. The DVT prevents the loco to run around a train once it has reached the end of the line, this would not only make turning around at London Euston easier but also give the players more opportunity's for creators club liveries and formation designing. Potential Pricing: For the Locomotive and the Mk3 DVT (also judging off other loco addons) I'm guessing this would be priced around £14.99 but if the Mk3 DVT wasn't to be included then £11.99 for the standalone Locomotive. Conclusion: That ends my suggestion for the Class 90 Electric Locomotive and the MK3 DVT, Hope you had a nice read and would like to hear all your thoughts on this!.
The only problem is that WCML over Shap is set in 1986 and the Class 90 didn't exist until 1988. However, a freight example would be nice for modern relevant OHLE routes.
Great suggestion. It would be good to have a UK push-pull train in TSW. A Freightliner Class 90 could be made as a DLC add on to WCML South for use on freight duties.
Love this suggestion. I'd have a great time with the 90 and the livery designer, chucking it on routes in free roam. 82 would be a bonus, but well worth it, although I think it pushes the time period wider still. Be good if more than the cab was accessible too.
