    Hello folks,

    Tomorrow, July 16th at 6 pm UTC, we will preview the upcoming Thames Valley Branches route Add-On.



    If you have any questions, please post them here. We will gather your questions beforehand, but please understand that we might not be able to answer all of them.

    To make things run smoothly, please use this thread for questions related to the new route only.

    After the preview stream, we will timestamp the VOD on YouTube, post a summary of the questions and answers, and close the thread, as it will have served its purpose by then.

    Looking forward to seeing you in chat!

    All the best,
    Jan

    So the 165 included is the 2 car variation, but will we ever see the 3 car 165/1 make an appearance? I know they don't run on most of the branches but for me personally, feels off to be missing some units due to this :)

    Can we drive services from Paddington if we have the GWR remaster?

    Will the Class 165 later onto appropriate services on the GWE remaster?

    Have their been any audio updates or alterations to the Class 165? (Audio from the 166 is still very good for its time and doesn't really need updating. But I was wondering if any specific 165 recordings had been made. Thats if there is any difference in the engines. All I know is that some sub class variants of the 165 are limited to 75mph vs the 166s 90mph speed limit).
