DTG Class 68

[Mr395008]

A little update from DTG, seems there will be no DRS livery so it's either Chiltern or Scotrail. I'd really like to think we will be getting a Chiltern 68 + a new route for it to run on...

Unfortunately, DRS have not granted permission for us to reproduce this loco in their livery. We are continuing to pursue this and will advise when we have reached an agreement with DRS."

or nothing at all....

Have we had any official word on what liveries were intended to be produced? If it was only the intention to supply a DRS variant then that statement effectively stalls the project.

Chiltern is easiest in terms of branding, as along with the Class 67s, the loco have no form of corporate branding for Chiltern.

And the AAR socket on the front next to the buffer suggests it will be the Chiltern silver and grey ones, DTG might be able to get licensing from Chiltern for stock or they may just go for the Banbury blue and grey(slowly being repainted silver at the moment) set.

I don't see DTG releasing a loco which would require a Thompson route to run the scenarios.

Why not? They have released stock for various Keith Ross routes, so why not for a Thompson route?

Anyway I think it would also be well suited for the Scottish ECML.

One of the photos even shows it on the Firth of Forth bridge...

So, its for Scotrail with mk2s looks great. Loads of pics on the article and all I would say is that the carriage windows look a bit too tall like the initial Gatwick Express images released. Hopefully these can be fixed after receiving the relevant feedback on Facebook or their website.

I don't think any third party route released through Dovetail Games on Steam is an issue to where the scenario's are based. As has been mentioned, WCML North, Shap and WOSL were all third party routes and have had scenario's based on them for Loco's. I think DTG have even based loco scenario's on Aerosoft routes before now.

Nice looking model, be interesting to see the screenshots as it develops

Perhaps the Chiltern line ? With the 68 & passenger stock and some kind of re-worked or re-painted c16x DMU ? that pretty much covers it ?

There's all this talk of a Welsh route hinted, do these run into Wales hauling passenger stock ? Wrexham & Shropshire ? or was that something else ? c67's maybe ...

The c68 is the new, modern face of loco hauled workings so it would seem fitting that it came with some kind of route ... The cab is pretty cool in these locos so either way it'd be a great piece of DLC, as so many of DTG's more recent creation's have been

Be great if the Fife circle came with this, or as a new DLC. I know there is the SECML but that's an awful route. Looks good though and looking forward to it, and hoping for lots of detail!

ScotRail Class 68 looks great, I really would like to think that DRS & Chiltern reskins will be available shortly after release from the train sim community!
Judging by the screenshots, scenarios are to be for Edinburgh - Glasgow route.

This is looking fantastic, great work DTG.

It could come with some DRS/Scotrail Mk2s but there isn't a route properly suitable for that...

Edinburgh-Glasgow perhaps?

[TElsmore]

It's looking well, I'm looking forward to it! It's nothing I know, but I notice that the AAR socket has disappeared.

Looks great, definitely at home on Edinburgh-Glasgow although they mainly run on the Fife Circle Line. Are the ScotRail MK2Es reskinned of the WCMLOS MK2Es, but I do know they're not the ones that are in the Wherry Lines.

How about using the ScotRail Class 68 and stock on WCML North between Glasgow and Coatbridge via Rutherglen and Carmyle?
They ran this way during the Golf Tournament in the Summer at Gleneagles.
