Loco London Overground Gospel Oak- Barking Riverside Class 172/0 + 150/1

INTRODUCTION
I thought it would be a good idea to suggest two other trains that could come as DLCS for the Goblin Line as it would add more rolling stock

ROLLING STOCK

172/0 TURBROSTAR

The class 172/0 manufactured by Bombardier Transportation at Derby Litchurch Lane Works as part of the Turbostar family built from 2010-2011 8 of these two car trains were used by London Overground these trains have a maximum operating speed of 75 mph (121 km/h) and have TPWS/AWS implemented.


150/1 SPRINTER

The class 150/1 manufactured by British Rail Engineering Limited at York Carrige Works as part of the Sprinter family built from 1984–1987 6 of these two car trains were used by Silverlink these trains have a maximum operating speed of 75 mph (120 km/h) and have TPWS/AWS implemented.


CONCLUSION

Thanks for reading my suggestion if this pack came would you buy it? feel free to comment your opinion.

 

If this came I would absolutely buy this. However I am scared for what the 172 would sound like if DTG or Rivet made it....

 

The only problem is Barking Riverside opened after these two trains were withdrawn from the route.

 

A little artistic licence is required but otherwise a good idea. Other routes have not necessarily stuck rigidly to the era with a little creativity being added to them for fun and variety.

 

I just have an idea it'll end up another West Cornwall Local - a fantasy.

 

In what way is WCL a fantasy exactly?

 

In the time period it's set (early 90s) some of the trains we see on it in TSW were withdrawn by then.

 

in the year it is set, I believe loco hauling trains were becoming fewer and farther between, or at least, thats what other people were saying.

Too be fair, I think it got alot more flak than it deserved, but a nice remaster would be nice (with an era appropriate 125)

 

If only Rivet Games would occasionally revisit their routes to make changes and improvements as well as fix some glaring issues and faults. A Valenta HST is so desperately needed for WCL along with a Class 50 Hoover which were both regular performers at the time and location.

 

I would not like this. I want the add on to remain as it is. I do not understand why people enjoy routes with trains they no longer use on the line. It is unrealistic and the evolution of transport is spectacular.

 

Excellent idea and remember a 172/0 can combine with 150/1 due to BSI couplers. In game currently feasible with 158 Pacer or 150/2 158 combi

 

Because they could have set it in the past instead of the boring modern day?

 

If no-one wants to remeber old trains these beautiful machines will be lost forever. I think that most people disagree with this given the amount preservation societies there are and the amount of money people pour into it.

 

As long as its a multiple unit that is still around today im all for it.

 

Excellent argument, you convinced me mate because I do realise how I live the railways of the past than it is now

 

The evolution of trains nowadays is mind-blowing. We live in the modern day so I believe the route should be based in the present. I totally agree that we need to preserve our transport history but I think that is the job for museum such as the London Transport museum

 

Sometimes the past is better.
