One case study, a Class 52 given fifteen more years, from the Fleet lifetime table to the works floor at Swindon. Then the Advanced Passenger Train lands on the desk. Recorded in the game. Sound on.

Keep the Warships. Keep the Deltics. Who pays?

Any class can stay longer, up to twenty years. Every year has to come from another class, counted loco by loco. Try it: this is the game’s Fleet lifetime table, and it opens over budget.

974 extended / 0 available locomotive-yearsOVER BUDGET

That is 974 locomotive-years you have not found yet. Which class goes early? 2 more years off the 47s would cover it.

You cannot extend more than you shorten. This is one screen. There are forty years of them.
