    Keep in mind this is a DTG thing. Do not look for them in third party routes.

    is that still a thing? i remember 3,4,5 years ago there’d be talk of a donkey in every preview stream but it doesn’t seem to be brought up much anymore. my fear is that the donkeys are yet another victim of the corporate culture that’s trapped dtg

    I think the chaps who did MVL put a donkey in their route. Was nice seeing it again.

    Good times when they did this years ago, not sure where we are going these days.

    I do doubt a bit, given on Wonders of Sodor there's a football match between pigs and cows, refereed by a donkey

    The pigs won the match because they had David Beckham on their side. A well seasoned player with a tasty right leg.

    Every time there's a football pitch in a route, the pitch markings are always too thick and the dimensions off by a bit.

    I assume it's just a stock asset in TSW that no-one has bothered improving.

    I guess it's because I work in football it irks me greatly... :D

    The referee is a donkey? That's not that far fetched, is it? :)

    There’s also quite a few people with full size goalposts in their gardens, particularly on Edinburgh to Glasgow!

    To be fair, I got two immediate neighbours who have them. Sometimes I give the ball back... :D

    This tracks as donkeys, like human referees, have a blind spot directly in front of them.

    The pigs just milked them for goals.

    It was a hambush.

    Now it's dad jokes, is it? Here I was resisting the temptation to say that the pigs won because the donkey refused bribes to make calls favoring the udder team.

    We need you to help them work on Train Soccer World!

    (And before I get yelled at for saying “soccer”, it’s just to keep it as TSW. :))
