    Hello all and today, I would like to BR Class 50 (nicknamed Hoover) for TSW2

    The Locomotive
    The British Rail Class 50 is a class of 50 locomotives designed to haul express passenger trains up to speeds of 100mph (160km/h). They were built between 1967 and 1968. They were employed hauling express passenger trains on the, then non-electrified, section of the West Coast Main Line between Crewe and Scotland.

    In the 1970s, the WCML was completely electrified and they soon found work on the western region of BR working services from London Paddington to cities such as Oxford, Bristol Temple Meads (BTM), Plymouth and Penzance. Withdrawal took place between 1987 and 1994 with 18 preserved and the remaining 82 scrapped.

    The Route
    The locomotive (if added to TSW2) could be added to West Cornwall Local as the route is set in 1992 or it could be a DLC for Diesel Legends of the Great Western as a way to spruce up that DLC as not a lot of players like DLotGW

    Would love to see the Class 50 In TSW 2, whether it be on certain hauling railtours or on the WSR. Good suggestion.

    The people who don't like diesel legends generally refer to driving old trains under new wires. A class 50 won't solve this

    So long as we can have the farewell tour with the blow up track engineer on the front...

    Well I guess you could always have all the activities at night and they wouldn’t notice the wires…
