I don't understand why you would be 'Disappointed'(sic) about having 'workhorse locomotives' populate any given layout or scenario.
do you expect the Blue Comet to do all the slow freight work? We already have Iconic train sets in abundance as DLC, but not much that can give a layout a sense of realism.
What is already available are items that have been made by people that have little time left over from their busy days and dont have the resouces that aurans official channels can muster.
The 3rd party creations can be very good at times, but they are uncommon as there is almost always a lack of detail, the lighting isn't right or everything looks almost cartoonish.
Your opinions are as valid as any one elses, but to me, your general attitude comes off as offensive. you say "pretty boring"? i say, stop looking at the mirror.. contribute constructivly or STFU.
