    The Polar Express is a fictional movie starring Tom Hanks and is produced by Warner Brothers.
    The Train takes non-believing children in North America to The North Pole to see Santa set in the late 1950s.

    No.1225 N-1 class steam locomotive based on Pere Marquette 1225 steam locomotive

    Route
    Main Route- 1950s New Jersey Suburban Town into some snowy forests into Canada then through flat top tunnel, down glacier gulch downhill grade then sliding onto a frozen lake then up a steep mountain swirling round onto a bridge then goes over an arctic ice cap, then goes onto a long and winding viaduct into the north pole, a city filled with toy factories, showed just like in the film.

    Why did I suggest this?
    On December the 20th last day of dovetail games season of reveals saw the Thomas the Tank engine collaboration and DLC, it gave me the idea that if they would add something wacky like that, then maybe this would be the perfect thing as it is a well known movie and train.

    Even though I would love to see the Polar Express in TSW, I would rather see the N1 berskshire in TSW plus if the PE made it into the game, I think it would be better to see it as a loco DLC that includes the coaches for a pre-existing US route..

    But it all depends how well the TTTE DLC sells upon release and going from a lot of people's reaction on Friday, this DLC will most likely not sell that well or really at all.

    Isn't polar Express steam train type? I don't think it gonna work unless dovetail continues deployment on steam train

    if they did just add the pere marquette 1225 n1 berkshire with polar express livery and pullmans as just a locomotive dlc for all existing US routes would do fine for me to be honest, as long as we get the train

    I would prefer the see 1225 in her current livery as they would need to get the rights from Warner Bros which would be expensive seeing how well Lionel and other companies such as Hallmark are able to sell offical licenced Polar Express Merchanise in the US
