    The Bluebell Railway
    The Bluebell Railway runs for 11 miles in East Sussex between Sheffield Park and East Grinstead with stops at Horsted Keynes and Kingscote. As a heritage railway, DTG would be able to intorduce realistic steam timetables without having to create a large roster of locomotives, this would give space to allow for a remodel of steam physics.
    Locos:
    LBSCR H2 Atlantic 32424 'Beachy Head'
    Recently reconstructed, 'Beachy Head' is one of the Bluebell Railway's flagship lcomotives.

    BR Standard 5MT No. 73082 ‘Camelot’
    Based on Stannier's Black Five, the Standard 5s were built in the '50s by British Railways in order to haul medium goods and passenger services

    LBSCR Terrier No. 72 ‘Fenchurch’
    The oldest operational lcoomotive on the line, 'Fenchurch' is a Stroudley terrier, the same class of locomotive as 'Stepney' the lines first engine.

    Layer Locomotives
    09 Shunter
    Class 47
    60103 Flying Scotsman
    Notes:
    'Fenchurch' was included over 'Sir Archibald Sinclair' due to the significance of A1 Terriers on the Bluebell Railway
    Please do comment if there are any other locos in game that could be used as layers

    As DTG do not appear to be changing their stance on steam, sadly this seems unlikely.

    Yeah, as a primarily a fan of Steam engines I think its disappointing that such a large part of railway history is being ignored. I feel like a heritage railway would be a perfect reset point for steam in TSW and the bluebell is a well known brand that would attract sales.
