Trains

Class 43 (HST): 4000 points. The most expensive train the class 80x is priced at 4k, it would make sense as the HST is an iconic express train like the 80x (though the 80x is way less iconic)

Class 175: 2500 points. The class 170 is 1.5k and the class 180 is 3.5k. since the 175 is a middle point between a class 180 but a mainly regional train the price should be cheaper, like is seen with many other trains. so I went for a nice middle point between the prices of the 2 trains which seemed reasonable

Routes

Pencarn - Brynmouth: 600 points. I choose this as the same as the norrington - leaton expansion price, as I guess the length of both expansions is the same, and thus the price will be the same

Liveries (welp)

Class 175: total 200 - 400. I think this as the 180 each liveries are 200 coins each, that there will have to be one free, and the other one will be 200, also depends if the price of the 2 car unit is going to be free or not

Class 150: total 400. The normal price of liveries is 200, and since two of them are just diffrent colour door I think they will be unlocked together, since this unit alredy has this with buy one livery unlock the other, and with the class 321 both door variants come free together.

Class 43 (HST): 800 - 1200 points total. I saw 4 liveries in the trailer for this loco, i put in the gap / range because I don’t know if each livery is going to be 200 or 300 so I got a lower and upper limit. also all of these are taking into consideration you getting a free livery when you buy the train

Mark 3 Coaches: 600 points total. 200 for each confirmed livery like all the other Mark 3 liveries are. I don’t think the buffet class will be an extra as if I remember right the Mark 2 and Mark 1 you don’t have to pay extra for first class.

Total cost and time spent grinding

total cost: around 9,100 points - 9,700 points

If driving Norrington to Avonhill it is around 8.6 points per minute. So total time driving this route comes to around 17.6 hours to 18.7 hours if starting from 0 points, if I’ve got my maths correct

remember this is just an estimate, hope you enjoyed it or found it useful, use it as a rough guide on how much to grind. Hope you have a good day, and good luck grinding for the update if you choose to <3

also if anyone remembers I think I made one of these before for a previous update, so we’ll have to see how accurate I was lol
