The 745 is a train that is particularly close to my heart, and which I would dearly love to have in simulator form. But even I'm not going to cough up that much to give to a (by all accounts) pretty shady and unethical business, even for a 745. So why would I pay as much again for the same train just shorter and with a rocket in the middle?
Also, slightly unrelated, but I wish there was more of a focus on routes than stock, particularly in the UK market. You can now find a copy of basically every carriage and wagon and loco and unit built since about 1981, but routes are dating far faster and there seems to be a great deal more stock than there are routes suitable for them. I do get that route building is a bit of a nightmare, but surely there has to come a point where updating old routes and filling gaps (and the same for old stock I suppose) becomes more of a priority than yet another obscure hopper wagon?
