Further to my comments above and those of others, my 'wish list' would be:

1. North West Coast, including Amlwch, Blaenau and Llandudno - blue era.

2. Doncaster to Cleethorpes via Scunthorpe - blue era and Barnetby :o .

3. A Class 119 'Gloucester' DMU by Dovetail - I happen to like the RSC 101 BTW.

4. The re-release of the centre headcode, pre-refurb Class 37.

5. Class 81-85 and a 304 please :) .

Plus the Hope Valley line.

I can live in hope :drinking:

EDIT: On seeing Vera's post, a 442 Wessex unit is a must :P .

Yes we could have the Class 104's with farting exhausts for the North Wales Coast.

Either it is wishful thinking on my part or my memory recollects stuff it wants to, but I am sure it was hinted on here a while ago that one may appear in the future under the Partner Programme.

We will have to wait and see.

My wishlist contains (among others) some more routes set in the sixties like Woodhead or WLOS:

ex LNER Waverley Route
ex GWR Ruabon - Barmouth
ex SR Withered Arm
ex LMS Central Wales

Probably not very likely, given that modern era routes are seem to be vastly more popular, but one can dream....

2) Hastings to Tunbridge Wells + Class 201 DMU

3) Class 89 "Avocet"

4) Some good London Underground stock.

Just been musing over a few, seemingly unconnected events which have occurred in the TS world of late, and I have come, personally, to a conclusion.

I would bet money that we will see NWC in TS at some point in 2014. If we do, you read it here first 8) .

And further I would love to see the following locos (and rolling stock):

ex LNER: J39 0-6-0, K3 2-60, and some Thompson coaches
ex GWR: Castle 4-6-0, 43xx 2-6-0, and some Hawksworth coaches
ex SR: S15 4-6-0, N 2-6-0, and some pre-grouping non-corridor coaches
ex LMS: Ivatt 4MT 2-6-0, Fairburn 2-6-4T tank, and some LMS period II coaches

Again, not very likely, but one or two....who knows??

Right, I'll limit this to five, in no particular order:

1) The West Anglia Main Line (including the Lea Valley Lines) with all variants of 317 and...
2) A 315 (although Waggonz are working on one so it will be a reality eventually!).
3) Some new 150/2 sounds (the ones currently on the 150/2 lack the proper grunt these units have).
4) Exeter to Penzance including branches, and a 57/6 for the Night Riviera.
5) A Cardiff-themed route, perhaps Newport - Swansea or the Valley Lines network.

Liverpool Lime Street needs to be done, such a unique and interesting approach through the tunnels in the bowels of the city. It would be great to do that approach in the sim. Massive scenario potential too with virtually every major class of loco having had some reason to be there at some point in history. You could make a real network out of Lime Street. Instead of a straight point to point you could cover all lines out a certain distance, e.g Wigan to the north, Warrington/Manchester to the east and Crewe to the south. You could then run so many varied scenarios, DMU's, EMU's, 86, 87, 37, 40, 47, Peaks, Pendilono whatever takes your fancy.

I would like to see EMU classes 309, 310 and 312 in TS 2014, all three of which could come in handy right
now we have both a Great Eastern Main Line and a new freeware southern end of the West Coast Main Line.

As regards routes, it would be nice to see Birmingham to Crewe/Manchester/Liverpool Lime Street via Stafford.

(I agree with jimmyshand that Lime Street lends itself to several interesting routes- I really miss those class 31s and 37s
on the Lime Street-Blackpool North Club trains)

Newport to Shrewsbury, based on the 1980s scene with the Welsh Marches and the
Shropshire Hills faithfully captured could also have potential on several levels..

Not forgetting the Halton curve at Runcorn which leads to Chester, which then takes us to the requested NWC route :lol:
