Maybe add pacer/sprinters too sometimes I remember seeing a pacer connected to a 150 Would definitely buy this though
Just wondering why we now have two concurrent threads for what is essentially the same suggestion? https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/cardiff-commuter-newport-barry-bridgend.56075/unread
You mean something like this video. Remember Class 150/2 complies with 6 April 2010 RVAR regulations while Pacers do not comply with the RVAR requirements. That's why a sprinter on the back of the pacer on the return trip train is controlled from the Class 150/2. Pacers and Sprinters use BSI couplers
Finally someone suggesting a route in my back garden!! I'm a Merthyr lad born and bred though, and if you're gonna do a route in this neck of the woods it you HAVE to have it run to Merthyr. It's got the most heritage, we were a really big deal in the industrial revolution. Plus the Penydarren locomotive- the first steam locomotive to EVER run on rails, ran from here to Abercynon, way back in 1804. Heck the starting point of it's journey is a five minute walk from my house! Obviously I'm biased, but it's a no brainer.
