Hello, so I am not from UK but have an interest in your trains. I am currently making a scenario for the WCML South route in TS, which involves taking a class 325 mail train from the Willesden mail depot up to Birmingham. Besides the 325 I know you can find Class 390's and possibly class 92's, but I am curious to know what other trains you can find on this section of the route.

So besides the ones I mentioned, what other trains would you find on this route?

Thanks

Class 710 on the Watford - Euston DC lines

As a note, while the Class 710 is the train that London Overground run on this route in real life, it is not currently available in Train Simulator. The Class 378 'Capitalstar' would be the best substitute for this in scenarios on WCML South until the 710 is introduced into the game.

Thanks, this will help me add some variety to the AI services in the scenario.

You might also find the occasional 59 in Wembley Yard, along with stored 321s. 221s also on Virgin/Avanti services (depending on the year the scenario is set), MK3 coaches for the sleeper (as before), possibly 70s if they work that far south on the WCML.

Some other things to consider:
Class 377/7 on the Watford to Croydon
Class 90s on freightliner (86s historically)
DCR Class 60s occasionally (can be 56s)
37s on transfers and scrap moves (321)
All sort of odd things going into Wolverton - loco hauled with 442/458/165/168
Transfers into Ilford from WMR - usually 172s
720s and 730s on test
68/88s on flask traffic
And then WCRC moves between Carnforth and Southall can throw up all sort of things: typically 37/47/57 and steam

Rail adventure HSTs moving class 777s
And also 0A06 (if it runs) from Crewe Electric (1230 ish) to Wembley (1645 ish), can be quite varied with one or more locos from 60/66/67/90/92 appearing from time to time. This working seems to have disappeared lately, but is normally quite regular.
37s, 43s and very rarely 73s on RTC test trains
701/360 being transferred usually with 47(s)
69s for painting/transfer to Eastleigh/Tonbridge
plus excursions and railtours than can throw up all sorts (86/87/56/33/50/67)
