I dont know why they have botherd with this when we have the just trains one. The Britannia or 9f would've been better.

Hi
I honestly can't see the point of DTG doing this loco,with the JT Trains one already out,and I think with the DTG you only get the 1 loco,where as the JT one you get them all+Hengist which is being built at Swanage

Just a note - Hengist has been removed from Swanage for some time now. I believe the project team are working from Ian Riley's base at Bury (although that may be subject to change also!)

Anyway, more details at their website:

100% agree,the 9F is sorely missed.

Hi
I think either a good 9F or a Britannia,all regions had them at some stage,and some had different types of smoke deflectors.

Currently £3,99, another "upgraded" model, might be useful as AI.

Worth 4 quid for the mk1 sleepers alone. On that basis, downloading now,

I will get it as I did not have the original and at the price it is a bargain.

Hi,

I have just down loaded the DTG Clan seems a good loco and at £3.99 good value for money even £7.99 it's still good value,especially for me as I can by pressing the bell symbol run it in legacy mode,some thing I can't do with a lot of advanced models,and at least the Clan doesn't keep blowing off like the 9F does every few minutes.

Lovely - a new loco for the price of a pint. Am downloading now. Previously bought the half-price 9F - loved the prototype and WLOS is a great route - and thoroughly enjoyed it (at one and a half scenarios in). I see from the reviews that the 9F has taken a lot of stick - and I'm no expert - but, come one guys - hours of entertainment for less than it costs me to drive my car into town! if I were to whine, heaven forbid, the sound on the 9F is 'thin', the earth didn't move for me!

All the best,


Steve

I'm on a little break from route building at the moment and going through a steam/heritage Diesel phase (the look so at home on the Furness Line :D ) so for £3.99 it was a no brainer for me so I also added the discounted 9F. I don't actually mind replacing my old purchases with revamped stuff, especially when the price is reasonable.

One of the smallest Standard Class locomotive, the 6MT, comes to Train Simulator in British Railways livery.
Apart from the 2/2T, 3/3T, 4/4 mogul / 4T & 5...!

ETA, at 3.99 I'll probably get this - good for any workshop scenarios

ETA2 - and with TS2016 on the horizon, DTG only have a few months to shift the "legacy portfolio" that they acquired. Shifting several year old models for an outgoing platform will be a hard sell after, say, June...
