    If DTG wants to remaster a locomotive I would hope it is the C40-8 and the AC44. The sounds are generic and they need an obvious renovation.

    I believe DTG should update the BR Class 37 (all 3 variants). That loco needs a full overhaul - better sounds, updated models & updated smoke.
    The 37s are famous for being very claggy and very loud especially at full throttle.

    I love the 37 and I know of OO Gauge models which sound better then the TSW 37

    I agree with you there - the 37 is decent in the game, but it could definitely be improved, better clag effects is a must-have in my opinion, especially as you said; they're commonly known for how claggy they are! I also think the horns could do with an update, something about is off in my opinion...
    I'd love to see more variants of 37s too, ones like 610, maybe even some with the split headcode/headlights.?

    BR blue 37 please!

    It would also be nice if the BR green 47 would get the sounds (and smoke effects?) from the BPO one at some point

    Oh yeah, a BR Blue 37 would be lovely, CC has some good ones available but it's not the same as an official livery.. for one you definitely won't got the annoying blur on small text and all that.
    Who knows, maybe the 47 will happen, it'd definitely be good! We can only hope!

    Would be nice to have flange sounds finally added to stock that lack it, the electrostars and 313 come to mind

    Yeah, that's something pretty big (in my opinion) that's missing!

    One train that would be worth remastering is the TGV Duplex. For me, it would be better to have the TGV Duplex 2N2 3UA, which is a version equipped with the following safety systems: VACMA/KVB/TVM, SIFA/PZB/LZB and ETCS. Putting this version on the LGV Méditerranée would be more realistic for services to Frankfurt am Main Hbf, which are present on this line. It would also enable it to be used on all electrified German lines (especially in Free Roam mode), as well as on the S-Bahn Zentralschweiz line. Finally, the 2N2 3 UA version is equipped with 2 screens to display speed, TVM and PZB/LZB, which is more aesthetic than the ice cube tray (nickname of the TVM display system on the current version).

    I’m going to say the DB 112, for the headlight.

    My least favourite things about the current 37s is the horns. They sound too American if you know what I mean.

    Yeah Ithink I get what you mean, they just sound incorrect in general, they could 100% do with a reworking!...
