DTG Class 68

[faedundee2]

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.

Looks like they are newly made Mk2E's(WCMLOS doesn't come with Mk2Es just the base game Mk2As with new skins), probably the same base model used by the Gatex stock as the windows are still quite large in those preview shots. Also I cannot wait to see the comments if the loco does just release with Scotrail liveried locos and stock after all that is only 2 Class 68s...

Those coaches appear to have conventional doors, not the sliding plug doors on the 442. The MK2E model may be similar to the InterCity MK2Es in the upcoming Gatwick Express Class 73.

There wasn't an implication of the 442 being a basis for the coaches, they're mk3 stock and totally different even without the different doors.

This one might just steal me back from flight-simming for a while. Been a big fan of these locos since I was distracted by one at my weekly 7-aside football match at Meadowbank. Since then, at around a quarter-to-eight every Monday evening, I look forward to seeing/hearing a 68 with its rake of empty MkIIs storming past the outdoor football pitches towards the ECML. I wonder if they are stabled at Millerhill or Craigentinny overnight? Maybe this could provide scope for further (albeit short) scenarios of the stabling variety on Just Trains' Edinburgh-Newcastle?

They're positioned at motherwell overnight..

They're positioned at motherwell overnight..

Hmmm... Any idea why one of them heads past Meadowbank on Monday evenings? The MkIIs are definitely empty and in darkness.

One of the diagrams does the Fife Circuit in passenger service
2G13 17:08 Edinburgh - Glenrothes 18:13 then 2K14 18:14 Glenrothes - Edinburgh 19:31
on arrival back in Edinburgh the train goes ECS to Mossend Down Yard FSX and Motherwell FO the scenic route.

You should see it at Meadowbank SX as it's quicker than running the loco round the stock in Edinburgh.

Ah, thanks - that all makes perfect sense now. I suspect we'll never see that particular scenario in TS...

Posted on the last page a couple of days ago already.

It is looking good. I like the design of these, so much nicer to look at than a 66 .

I would love to see this as the Chiltern variant with some mark 3's and at least part of the Chiltern Line.

Peter

I too would like to see the Chiltern version and part of the line hopefully including the bit where I live.

and part of the line hopefully including the bit where I live.

Why wait, and/or possibly be disappointed..

The problem with that is I don't have all the routes required for it to work unfortunately.
