I don't know about you, but I 8+(and many others) would like to have a[h=1]Gorre & Daphetid[/h]route & rollingstock DLC, especially since the new graphics engine would be able to take the full advantage of the exelent scenery that this route *had* 
() to offer.
For some of you that are not that knowledgeable about model railroads (WIKIPEDIA):

The Gorre & Daphetid model railroad was a notable HO scale layout built by John Whitby Allen in Monterey, California. (The name is pronounced "gory & defeated".)
The Gorre & Daphetid, also known as "The Gorre" or just "The G&D," was actually three successive model railroads. The first two small versions were built at Allen's home in Monterey. The final version of the G&D, which incorporated the earliest layout, was much larger and built over a period of twenty years at his new 9 Cielo Vista Terrace home in Monterey, where he excavated part of the basement to build the railroad. Mr. Allen was a pioneer in the field of model railroading - as a professional photographer he had the artistic talent and attention to detail to create and document incredibly realistic scenes, and did so in numerous articles featured in Model Railroader, the NMRA's Scale Rails and Railroad Model Craftsman magazines. He developed a wonderful story of origin, including humor and numerous references to his friends in the model railroading and model railroading publishing industry. He designed and built numerous buildings and people. The final layout is considered one of the greatest layouts of all time, and has several fan websites and a devoted Yahoo discussion groups.
The basement of the house was severely damaged by fire just ten days after John Allen suffered a fatal heart attack in January 1973. Most of the layout was destroyed in the fire. However, one of the locomotives, No. 34, a 4-10-0 that John kitbashed from parts, resides in the office of Model Railroader magazine executive editor Andy Sperandeo.

I would love to see NOT ONLY the route, but also custom models. Short video of locomotives commonly used on The G&D:

The pre-mentioned 4-10-0 would have to be built from scratch as well as the Heysler and the 0-6-6-0 articulated. However, there are quite a few 2-8-0s and 4-6-0s around, so modifying those would not be that much of a problem (I imagine), and a B&O Docksider already exists, so it would just be a matter of updating the model. As a result, if this was to be realised, I would recommend splitting up the package into two parts: Route and Rollingstock.
Really, it has to be done. IT CAN BE DONE.
