    …or the Isle Of Sodor itself.

    And without dragging this off topic, well actually I am, how about a release date for the JT Class 86 pack which I’m sure is 100x more eagerly awaited than a Thomas skin?

    Yeah I cant see that happening though, It would be nice to see though, Wouldnt mind taking some Uk stuff around Sodor for a Spin... :)

    Hopefully by the end of June I am hoping :P
    You never know PS5 might actually get the fully working Koln Aachen remastered timetable before GTA VI is released....

    Ngl yea this is the type of DLC that just screams "We're trying to appeal to the shareholders"

    Enjoyed the original DLC, great fun, really feels like playing an episode of the show. Could maybe have done with the controls being a bit more Holiday Express-like.

    Probably not enough in this to interest me, though.

    Give me a couple of decent Sodor lines with route hopping between them at the likes of Knapford, and we're talking me spending some proper cash.

    Wasn’t it £19.99 for the original plus £7.99 makes nearly £28 for the total add-on. Surely DTG are joking or is there a reduction for the original owners. I doubt that.

    £24.98 for London Overground Mildmay line: Stratford - Willesden Junction Route Add-On,
    and £29.99 for Frankfurt S-Bahn makes Thomas and Friends a robbery by DTG!!!
