Is that a huge clue?

No but I would have to consider it if I had the chance, as others have said it is a very useful unit on a multiple of routes.

Well as far as i know Zane Saxton isn't even in the game development world now. He made his millions on Spin Tires and runs a haulage company now. I'd be surprised if we saw an updated model from Oovee themselves.

Wasn't that a Chocolate and Cream Class 117 DMU in forthcoming the North Somerset Railway flyer?

Back in subject lol

If anyone wants the
DLC taking down take a look at this link for Amazon 99percent DLC there so if you want some of the stuff that's fine you could get the code from them and download it to your steam via the code sent

Go over to RWA, and read the thread on this topic over there, in particular the post by RSL Derek, and the reason why some routes have been pulled which in a few months may be back on Steam again. To many assumptions here.

I suspect this would be just like buying BNSF stuff this way - it wouldn't allow me to download the DLC. Steam doesn't have the withdrawn items listed for download (although they must remain for cache verification) and the code you get to input in to Steam will probably be unsuccessful.

Not sure I fancy being the guinea pig for this particular test LOL.

Someone over at RWA says you can still buy them from Amazon using the code, and still be able to download them from Steam. Sounds like that they have been removed from the Steam store for purchase but are able to still be downloaded with the code if purchased from somewhere else.

Derek S. has posted on RWA about the possible return of the items that have been withdrawn and that they may return in the future when upgraded.

I do love how some threads explode.

There have been a number of packs removed from sale - correct. But we have not said they will not come back.

We have been creating DLC for so many years now and it was always going to be the case that there was going to be a number of packs that are showing their age and even worse have a number of issues that are no longer acceptable.

I don't know if anyone has noticed but we have started going through a number of DLC fixing issues and releasing them on a weekly basis.
Some packs however need to be taken down as they will take longer to address.

Watch out for more information on our website over the coming months.

best regards

Already mentioned. :) The DLC that has been removed from the Steam Store will still be on Steam in case you need to do a verify cache. So no worries there.

I believe that something similar was said when people were asking about the class 02 pack and the class 37 pack.
I have raised the issue of withdrawing dlc in general with DTG and wait with interest for their response. I know that that should the class 117 in it's now withdrawn format with the center trailer car be removed permanently like the class 37 pack then that essentially excludes anyone new from running scenarios with some authenticity on the route I'm working on in the future (If it ever gets finished and released! :lol: )
I also fear that the Woodhead route is on the chopping block next, with it's already reduced price and advancing 'age'.
That's my two pennies worth on the matter.
Kind regards,
GWRKINGCLASS.
