    Today I am suggesting the WMATA 6000 Series for Train Sim World.
    This train will run on the Washington Metro Blue, Orange and Silver Lines.

    We said it in most suggestion threads (clickable links below):
    It would be great if you could give emphasis & more information about a route/locomotive suggestion.
    Here are some suggestions you could take inspiration from to form a completely detailed Route Suggestion:
    - Developers Advice On Tsw Suggestions: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/matts-advice-on-tsw-suggestions.86336/

    - Caravatt's Leopolda Railways: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/leopolda-railway-florence-to-pisa-new-italian-mainline-new-country-italy.91970/
    - Mine's Athens - Tithorea Line: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/athens-tithorea-line-ic-regional-2022-2025-period.89685/
    - Harryjj18's South Devon railways: https://forums.dovetailgames.com/threads/south-devon-railways-riviera-avocet-mainline.91557/


    Most Route/Locomotive suggestions need to pass the "LAMPOIL" process: Licensing, Anticipation, Mix, Prominence, Opportunity, Intelligence, Limitations.

    Without the route itself a pointless suggestion. And as regards the route, well despite the couple of underground stations on FSN it’s a certainty DTG would shy off doing any route that required extensive custom sub surface modelling of stations and infrastructure. Their, perhaps slightly exaggerated, claim was that doing the Bakerloo line the extra work needed to light bake the stations put the project way over time and cost budget and even threatened the future viability of TSW.

    On a more mundane level we don’t know whether the Washington Metro operator would even be prepared to licence or grant access for research and to replicate their operations in a train game.
