I'm Back once more, this time continuing from a Previous Suggestion with Midland Mainline: Bedford - Derby Midland. in the Late 70s I also saw a Complaint from the Previous one about how I Could've made it go farther as such I decided to make this one go to Derby, finding the Route length from the St Pancras - Bedford route was easy since there happened to be a TSC Route that goes along the same length and said it was 55 miles, this one i couldn't do quite the same, so I Approximate this route is about 65/70 give or take Miles of route, this does not account the Bit of line to Nottingham, Also has Toten and Derby Etches park as depots. Services: this time I wanna focus a bit more on the Freight side, so only DMU Passenger services, of course Loco hauled trains can layer in from the St Pancras - Bedford route, Freight: So Coal trains may return, but I would like to see Cover wagon Manifests as well, and thats it like I said I wanna focus on freight a bit more but the info is hard to come by, so if you know anymore freight types that could work let me know Locos: BR Class 56: These units are Primarily Heavy freight locos, as such services for these beasts can have Heavy freight duh, I Know people have been wanting these units so now is a great opportunity to have them. BR Class 20 In BR Blue: Ok only reused Locomotive the Class 20 can provide the Lightweight Freight action that would be perfect along side the Heavy freight of the 56s, Both the Head code Box/Disk Versions may come, may also do some Shunting. BR Class 104: I Said only DMU passenger services this time (not counting layers) and the Class 104s do the Trick Wether it be Stopping Express Nonstop these units can fill the Passenger role on this route, They can come in 2/3/4 car sets with the TCL added for 3 car and TSOL and TBSL added for 4 car. Plausible DLC: BR Class 25 "Rats": These units id say would be a Middle of the Row loco, more powerful then a Class 20 but not as powerful as a Class 56, these units would make a Mighty fine DLC for this route, might wanna give it new freight cars to go with. Plausible Layers: Midland Mainline: London St Pancras - Bedford a previous suggestion would be a Sister route to this route layering the Other freight services, Loco hauled passenger, 108/127, and everything in this route to that one, NTP can bring Newpaper/Parcel Trains, Oil and Boxvan trains, and Class 08 Shunting, The Class 101, and The NTP Class 40/45/47, with this route giving NTP the Class 20,56, and 104s, With Coal and Manifests Trains, TVL Can probably give just Steel Trains with Class 08 Shunting as well, and The Class 31 and Cement trains, with this Route giving TVL the Blue Class 20, Class 56, and Class 104. The End: you know i think i might try taking a Break on the suggestions, not saying it will happen but i could use one, anyways thanks for reading goodbye.
You might need to consider making the class 20 compatible with blue star code locomotives from NTP Class 45 TVL Class 37 in the 1970s paint. Thing you need to consider is the high-speed train with the original Paxman Valenta engines. If made DTG will simply reskin existing HST with MTU engine instead of Paxman Valenta engines.
