What Routes Would You Like To See?

[paulharvey]

Great western mainline in the 1930s and 2008, complete to Bristol and maybe Cardiff. The latter with Didcot connected to the line so we can run railtours.

Midlands and South Western Junction Railway, either in the 1940s (for all that wartime traffic) of the mid 50s as a last hurrah before it was run down. Nice mix of Southern and Great Western built locomotives on this line. Good mix of freight, passenger and cargo traffic down a single line that could only run light locomotives. Classic line.

Birmingham snow hill to Dovey Junction. Late 60s. Lots of big hills and only light locomotives to get up them.

West Norwood tram system in the 1940s. For my dad.

Welsh Highland Railway as it is today. Assuming somebody builds a Garratt first.

Channel tunnel, London to Paris.

That is why I suggested the Cambrian Line, it could also spin off the narrow guage railways that adjoin it... lot's of extras to add on

Thanks for letting me about about the change of cab controls, didn't even know you could that in Rail Simulator.

Purely for self-encouragement - the Ilfracombe branch, and Weymouth-Bournemouth .

Personally i'd like to see A Victoria to Dover Priory / Ramsgate Via Faversham route (either NSE or South Eastern), since its one route that hasn't really been done yet on any simulator (that i know of)

Glasgow Queen Street to Fort William/Oban would be a good route with the introduction of the 156s and the end of the 37's era.
Another good route would be the North Cylde LIne when the blue trains were introduced

Although I feel RailWorks is better geared towards shorter routes, I would like another mainline by RS.com or a large developer such as EuropeanBahn. Any of the following would interest me Carlisle to Glasgow / Victoria to Dover / Waterloo to Bournemouth / Edinburgh to Aberdeen. Obviously these are a fair amount longer than the default routes but I would be happy with any part of them or even if they were released in stages along as the price was not too great.

Malcolm Gwynne, aka Mully is currently building the Edinburgh to Aberdeen (Northern Lights) route. http://mullys.webs.com/


As for what I would want, well, the Esk Valley line would be a good one.

I agree with you on that one.

London Fenchurch to Shoeburyness line, something a little different. Mainly EMU's, although I recall the odd 37 thundering down that line taking one or two wagons, which I assume probably had something to do with the MOD?

Yes please lol.

I think Scott19 and i will be working on the trackwork join it onto the Great Eastern.
Please dont ask me about the scenery or gradients

We are still looking for people intrested in helping with the routes.

Also the Class 302 308s comming soon

I thought the smileys in my response offered a hint on that one...

I recall as a child spending a week in a caravan park near an abandoned station on that line, it was either Woolacombe or a station just outside it. Nice line, Ill look forward to seeing your efforts. Like the Minehead line, it was one that should never have been chopped.

Just for a laugh (and to get away from purely British efforts), Id like to see a martian route. No seriously. If we ever inhabit mars, like as not somebody would put a railway in. Think something like that in Total Recall or The Ghosts of Mars and you might see what I mean.
Sounds completely potty, but the flight simulator X plane put in a martian soarer so you could fly above the martian landscape. It was surprisingly good fun, and a bit different.


Swindon to Gloucester, maybe a return down the LMS line down the Avon valley to Bath? Or the other way to Cheltenham and the MSWJR? Oh well, maybe If I get my finger out. Im spending far too much time driving the EWS Class 37 at the moment.

Toddington to Cheltenham in the Glorious Cotswolds.

Seconded. The rest of the line through to Birmingham was also quite nice.

"Calling at Bromley South, Chatham, Gillingham, Rainham, Sittingbourne, Faversham, Canterbury East, Dover Priory and Dover Western Docks. Passengers for Canterbury East are required to travel in the front 8 coaches only."

Yeah, I'd be pleased with that. SUBs EPBs VEPs CEPs 33s & 73s
