Don't give them ideas, well not for free at least.

My mouth is drooling at the prospect of finally being able to use TSW for UK passenger services.

Hi,
I reckon it's going to be a 800,makes sense,new simulator,with a new era for the GWR train,DTG will want to be right up to date,and possibly for freight either a class 66 or 70.
How any one say the background colour is GWR Green beats me,to my rotten eyesight it just looks grey.

Look at the shadows of the question mark, the green is more prominent there.

Red now:
66 of some sort?
It means no steam era, which is a bit of a shame since I'd like to see how steam locomotives could be represented in this new set-up, but if DTG releases mod-tools at some point we might get the answer to that.

The plot thickens...
Another image today, what looks like red corrugated steel, so perhaps a DBS class 59?
Would go well with a route like Reading to Westbury...

Of course, it could be the front of Didcot shed after a yet-to-be-announced future repaint...
Or not...

So we are possibly looking at UK passenger and freight operations.

Tbf with the potential GWR livery hint earlier and the fact that Paddington is the "oldest" terminal in Train Simulator it may not be a bad shout - perhaps in the same way they made a preview of the North Somerset route for those pushing for it's opening, perhaps TSW has been used as a preview of the electrified route and services at the intensive end of the GWML and we're getting a chance to buy into that. I wouldn't be too fussed at that tbf.

Of course on the other hand it could be the East Coast Mainline from Kings Cross after all Virgin East Coast are also getting the 800's and also Class 66 run on it as well.

But where would the GWR green and GWR logo font for the question mark fit in with the ECML?

Who says it means it will be modern? We know what they did to poor little 1369...

Don't know how to link pictures on here but confirmed it will be GWR, definitely a turbo.
