Hi all, Just thought I'd come in and mention my latest freeware project which I think some will be interested in. I'm making what you could say is a modern version of Severn Valley Railway. Why: I find I like the heritage lines but feel doing simple to mid changes can make them feel quite different. This also allows me to work on a smallish project and not getting to overwelmed. Whats Included: - Double track. - High ish speed capable so up to around 85 mph. - Capable of running stock like class 150, c153, c220. - TSW 6 features, station announcements. - Colored signals with some semaphores in places. What would be needed DLC wise: So as I am working on this on my own I'm not able to create literally everything so some stuff I have had to take from other routes. At the moment the below plugins are what would be needed, this isn't final however and could change. - Riveria Route - Class 220 - Preston to Blackpool. Pictures are to follow, please also bear in mind it's WIP and I'm not amazing at route building when it comes to scenery and the art side of thing so please bare that in mind.
Like the idea of this, something I've done on Trainz myself. We could do with a Class 50 to go with it.
I love it. Is the idea to create the SVR as if it was still a Network Rail run operation? How would that alter the scenery or the infrastructure that’s currently there, in heritage form? Do you have an insight to what ‘franchise’ or service pattern would operate on the line? Presumably something to Birmingham?
Essetially yeah, network railway run. Scenery etc wouldnt really change but in my first post ive put what some of the differences are. Service pattern stuff be 153s and 150s and every say hour and half something like that you get a 220 which comes from mainline and then after doing run to bn and back would then go back off onto mainline .
This sounds like a awesome 'what if?' route but incase you're going to include Kidderminster Town, the station was build by the SVR in 1984 and never was a GWR or BR station
Just downloaded this to take a look, it's quite unusual to drive on a route that's WIP in TSW! Just did a full run from Bridgenorth to Kidderminster (or KiddyMinster, as the fly-to location is listed on the map!) and I'm looking forward to watching this evolve. Just two things I noted which I thought I'd report back: The download page points to the wrong / old Common Library and if you use that then the route won't load (well it will, but it's empty and you can't view the map or even use pause button in order to exit, had to kill the game). When you get a few minutes I would suggest updating the download page to point to https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/m...110-pc-editor-creations/i7013-rgcommon-libary Also when travelling from Bridgenorth to Kidderminster, the dispatcher suddenly switched me to the right hand track at Bewdley. There was no other stock on the line so presumably it deems the right-hand line to provide a route that's shorter by a few inches. Probably needs some direction definition on the track a bit outside Bewdley to force the dispatcher to use the proper line. Still, it's good to see someone outside of the DLC market tackling the challenge of TSW route buildling! JB
greggryan 2, Thank you, l am so pleased that you are working on this route as it has always been my favourite heritage route. It will be really fabulous to drive this in TSW. I hope someone will do my 2nd favourite KWVR home of the Railway Children.
