Just had a quick look at DTG's Twitter feed and saw this:

I'm Guessing that will be for the Exert Paignton line. Although SWT stopped going there a while back. I do remember going to Torquay from Yeovil on a stag do. The train had a one under on the way past Dawlish and the marriage didn't last either!!

The model looks good, but it appears to be missing its centre coach....

Hopefully they will realise that actually Class 159s are three-car units, are not numbered in the 7xx series, and the original build of /0s have extra hopper windows compared to a Class 158. Let's hope this is just an early screenshot and they will change that, as the model looks pretty decent.

Looks like the S&C model, hope that they do the MSL too. Plenty of time for that,

I'm hoping that it's not just a real in of an old model, I'm hoping the physics are sorted for this unit and the brakes upgraded to the proper 3 step brake as opposed to the brakes of other models. I wonder if they have changed to can view as the SWT fleet have had modified cabs, however that's not a major issue if it's the same cab as previous versions.

If you look closely on the picture, you can see not only is the MSL missing, but also that the first class section is missing. Obvious reskin is obvious.

At least we have the excellent 'Four Counties 'route by Yeovilrig to keep us occupied....... until DTG do Waterloo to Sailsbury/Exeter.....or is that asking too much?

There is no Class 159 with the number 159724 or is there? Why are the easy little things so hard for DG to get right?

Something to remember perhaps is that not everyone at DTG will have a railway interest background and know such things as this, I suspect 'normals' work there too.

We saw this with the headcodes on the green Class 31 screenshots. I know I have said previously elsewhere on here that the devil is in the detail, but things such as numbers we all know we can alter them to suit. I'd be more concerned if it was some feature that we couldn't change that was showing as incorrect.

Maybe the middle coach - MSL/MSO? will be available as an expansion pack for £11.99 and the colours will need to be far more vibrant..

Bear in mind that all we've seen are WIP shots---compare the early shots, and the reaction, of Exeter-Paignton to the latest ones.

The FB crowd don't seem that impressed by this at the moment.

Looks like DTG have been reading the comments, and are now 'investigating'.
