Certainly, but those purchasing the route would then need to purchase the stand alone version. The whole idea of stock bundled with routes is to allow the scenarios included to run; granted they'd have a limited variety of stock but it makes for a
complete package.
If they'd done as they did with the 378 and included the stand alone version of the 319 with the route then you'd complain that you wanted something new with it, not an item of rolling stock you already owned.
If they'd bundled the route with some other unit you'd probably then complain that a 319 would be more appropriate.
Whatever DTG may have done, for some it would have been *wrong*; for some, no matter what DTG do it's *wrong*, just because it's done by DTG.
Yes, it does make things *messy* with the system used, having multiple versions of rolling stock, but thankfully RW Tools allows us to use whatever item of stock we want, within reason of course. Your point about Workshop scenarios not being usable if you don't have an item used has been addressed, you now know where to find the downloaded but not installed .zip archive. If you run into a problem you can't resolve, that's when you turn to places like this where you'd soon get the answer---in most cases anyway.
