Is that the same one mentioned in the second post or another version?

Surely an "all-singing-all-dancing" Peak is what we most need?

Seems to be a heavily modified NWC 175?

It's had an *interesting* history, with claims it's a rip-off of a Trainz(?) model. I'm fairly certain it was available here until that particular row broke out.

My Wishlist :

Class 81 to 85
(I seem to remember that the ac loco group had the fans running on one of their roarers)

first gen AC Emu's (304-312)
A 309 would fit into that and they covered Great Eastern , WCML , Manchester area's during their lifetimes .

A late 1980's era WCML route from London Euston to Wolverhampton , BR blue , Exec , NSE , Railfreight grey etc.
Or a Birmingham area route centred on New Street , maybe Coventry through to Wolverhampton or Redditch to Lichfield cross city ,
At least get New Street done and then quite a few routes can be built out from that .

Prototype HST + original MK3's
BR era (1960's) Freightliner flats - FGA FFA plus original style 10 , 20 , 30 & 40 ft box , open and tank containers .
Cartic 4
More Mk1 TPO types

Steam

Stanier Princess
Ivatt Coronation
Coleman projected 2-6-2 - Yes, I am being serious. What a beast to take over the Nick Hudson team's excellent Steaming over Shap/Beattock routes on a rainy night with a fitted freight tacked onto its tender.
Urie S15

Diesel

LMS Twins 10000/10001
Bulleid Trio 10201/2/3
Fairbanks-Morse C-Liner - preferably in PRR colours

Electric

AL1-5 series
AM10
4-COR stock and derivatives - the route is just itching to be backdated.
2-BIL - Oh, the memories of rattling along the south coast in one of those...

Other

Brown-Boveri gas turbine 18000 - let's have something unusual, even quirky, for a change.

Routes

Pre-group Caledonian over Beattock
Waverley Route (again!)
The GW main line in pre-tops BR Blue days and before Reading Station was vandalised into the architectural atrocity with all the atmosphere of a dentist's waiting-room it is today.

I'd settle for even one of the above.

Well, here you go - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... =399732174 something that Nick, CeeGee and I worked on, what seems like, ages ago now.....we also posted some scenarios for the route there.

Routes.
Midland Mainline from Manchester Central to Derby via Heaton Mersey, Chinley, Millers Dale and Matlock
The Lotschberg Bahn before the base tunnel was built gving a good mountain route from Bern or Thun to Brig.
A French route that is not LGV and has some scenery - Lyon to Geneve/Chambery/Modane

Locos
More variants to the Class 45 - I think DTG bought the rights to the entire collection.
An earlier AC electric in the 81 to 85 series - an 83 would be good
Prototype HST Power Cars

MUs
Class 304/5/7 Slam Door AC emu
Class 309 and 310 emu
Class 123/124 Dmu
Class 104 Dmu

I know some of the routes have been done as Freeware

Andy, thank you so much for this. I didn't even know it existed. My download task for the morrow is decided.

While I'm here, there is one other thing I'd like to see. Figures. Same old, same old, every route. And what about some diversity in them? Children? Older citizens? Different body shapes? Ethnicity? As passengers in coaches, too. I have the Koeblizter Mountain Reloaded (superb route, it really is) which features some 4-wheelers with animated passengers, a vast improvement on some of the stuff I've seen. Some of them, I expect to hear a Pythonesque Good morning, Mrs. Cutout come ringing down the aisle. Improvement needed.

Complete the West Coast Mainline ! i.e. Rugby to Preston...please

Plus CAF 195 DMU, 331 EMU and/or Mk5 coaches and DTSO... these are beginning to become more common in the north.

Or could someone suggest any existing items of stock that could act as a stand ins for any of these items when re-skinned ?

I did not know if the Irish Rail CAF Intercity stock could be reskinned to a Nova 3 Push Pull Set?
https://www.uktrainsim.com/filelib-info ... leid=25225

And somebody was looking at reskinning the Class 180 Dmu with an extra coach vice the DMSO
