    as much as we all love the class 66 is gotten tired in the game and the lack of any other mordern diesel loco is getting annoying so here are some that could be added in the future

    Yes to all. These would work as layers on most of the modern routes. Also to note, the Class 91 is in fact a Class 92.

    Add the Class 70 to this list of modern British locos.

    A Class 60 would be very nice. One of those was shunting the steel siding at Swindon a couple of weeks ago and is appreciably loud. A slightly older favourite but still seen on the network today is a Class 56.

    If you want a class 90 then GEML Freights to Ipswich/Felixstowe or WCML.
    Class 92 SEH and WCML

    Big ups to those, you'd think the 66 was the only modern freight loco in the UK if you went by their logic. Even another 66 in DB red would be a welcome break in the monotony.

    Would certainly be nice to have another modern UK freight locomotive, especially when it comes with a route that's more focused on freight. Currently all we have is the 66, which is a nice loco, but the services it runs aren't really that interesting IMO.

    With current routes, I don’t know how compatible the class 90 is considering there aren’t many UK lines in game with Overhead lines.

    I would love to see a class 56 or 60 in the game. The 66 is becoming tiresome.

    Great suggestion it would be great to see different freight locomotives instead of just the 66

    British Rail Class 59 would be nice, know it is pretty similar to the 66 but this also would make DTGs lives easier to get us the class 59s.

    Yes! I also agree to that we have to many variants of the same locomotive. I would love to see more modern diesel freight locomotives in game

    It would also be good to see some more variation in the freight scene. MML is a prime candidate for some coal movements at Radcliffe power station with a new loco.

    Yes, yes and yes for me! Class 66 is an icon on the UK railways (and other countries too) ofcourse but we need more variation in freight locs for the UK! Ngl all these in a DB Schenker loco pack wouldn't be bad :D

    oh yes.. so something like a 56 or 60 would be good.. speaking of MML, I do think that Leicester depot is a bit empty compared to real life.
