ReplyDeleteIs the next update going to be next year? And by the way we need more British rolling stock! Class 66 would be nice and a French TGV? Also I was using the signal bridge as catenary so Mabye some proper catenary would be nice! :) Add BR MK1 Coaches if you can in the next update guys, great job!
