Route “Steam on the Sierra” Final Version
Posted: Mon Aug 15, 2011 12:55 pm
Hi everybody,
Three years and half ago I started in Rail Simulator a route with Iberian environment.
The name of the route is “Steam on the Sierra”, and I placed to download a reduced first version of it on March 2009.
I already talked in this forum about this first version.
Now, after a lot of work, finally I’m finishing the final version of the route, which will be available (I hope) during the present month.
The basic route characteristics are the following:
It is a fictitious route including two railway lines (a broad gauge line and a metric gauge line) and a tramway network with two urban lines and a suburban line.
All these lines are made with an Iberian atmosphere, intending to evoke environments and landscapes of the peninsular railways and tramways from Spain and Portugal.
Nevertheless, the route could also evoke some south-European environments (of Mediterranean style).
The name of the route is “Steam on the Sierra” and it is a memorial of the title of the legendary book written by the railway enthusiasts and tireless British travellers Peter Allen and Robert Wheeler.
The book was an extraordinary description of the railway landscapes of the Iberian Peninsula’s narrow gauge on the fifties.
The tracks scheme of some stations, some sections of the lines, and its orographic environment, are sometimes inspired on real stations and line’s sections, in order to make an evocation of them.
In this final version, the broad gauge line as been electrified (in the first version it was not electrified).
Please see some screenshots of the route already finished.
Cheers,
Jordi
