    Slight issue GWR planning on withdrawing the class 43 castle sets so I think it wouldn't work as present day.

    Also I personally think we have too many modern routes so I think good suggestion wrong era.

    We already have Penzance to St Austell in the 1980s so maybe do either St Austell or Plymouth to Exeter in the same era as WCL :)

    The reason the exsiting one is the 80s/90s is because of problems with gWr, so I suspect gwr content won't be coming anythime soon

    Ah OK, but GWE has GWR licensing unless GWR have 'turned their backs' on DTG and have said no to any future GWR route for TSC/TSW ;)

    GWE was one of the first routes for TSW, IIRC' WCL only came out last year.

    I assume the licence expired and wasn't chased after as it wasn't required?

    Could've been, like I say I don't know the full reason but that would be a guess ;)
