Cargo Line Packs

Which Cargo Line pack would.be the most value. They are all.on 50% discount (except the Nuclear one) I have almost every modern UK route (From TSW6 not included)

 

I think petroleum is nice. Layers into MML, GWE and now Medway. Proper heavy haulage

 

Personally I like 1 and 2 the most, with 2 just taking top spot, mostly because of the loading and unloading scenarios on MML.

 

Definitely get packs 1 and 2

 

Just like the home alone movies 1 and 2 are the best and people don't care about 3 and 4.

 

Didn't Home Alone also get a fifth part

 

and a sixth

 

Maybe Cargo Line will get a sixth too

 

Pretty much what he said.
Cargo Line 1 and 2 add services in many original timetables, and probably will be added to many more in the future.
Cargo Line 3 does not add in so many places as 1 and 2, but still adds enough and also has a very good chance of adding to future routes.

So those 3 I would buy for sure, picking 1 and 2 first if you have to choose.

Cargo Line 4 (Military) is OK because it adds to GWE and has a separate timetable for Preston - Carlisle. It is nice to see it in GWE, but I would have preferred that they added CL4 services to the original PSC timetable instead of making a separate one. Not saying that CL4 will not appear in other new DLCs, but it is not as easy to find a place for it as it is for the previous 3 CL DLCs.

Cargo Line 5 (Nuclear) is the most uninteresting of them so far IMHO. It only adds services into the MML timetable and a service into the original Riviera timetable. Everything else goes into added timetables (Preston - Carlisle and WCML) but not the original ones that come with the routes. Difficult to know how easy it would be to fit this content into new routes, as nuclear waste is not the most common cargo you see everyday.

 

Personally I only brought Petroleum, Nuclear and Military,

• Petroleum because they accidentally allowed use of 47 (WSR) and 52 so I bought for the reason of other locos than 66 for modern freight, (even if inaccurate)
• Nuclear and Military because it's something different

Should point out I'm not that big into freight, really.

 

Found 1 & 2 to be very useful.
3, I picked up in a sale.
Haven't bought 4 & 5. Don't currently plan to, either.

 

Only recently picked up Vol 2 and it’s by far the best imo, adds a lot to quite a few routes. The gameplay to its “home” route Midland Mainline is particularly engaging and it really beefs up the freight content for Medway Valley too.

 

Thanks for all the interest and perspectives. Obviously I couldn't give my opinion on the best one (Aggregates) as it would be bias.

However, the YouTuber RichyRail posted a video comparing them all which is pretty cool. You can check it out below. He had absolutely no prompt from ourselves (Aggregates didn't win) and its great to see independent comparisons like this.

 

Hiya Adam, aggregates or the TEA are my faves. Are there any more UK packs in development atm or is that it?

 

Thanks a million for some official engagement

 

Thanks for everyone's replies and suggestions. I've ended up buying Vol. 1 & 2. I have began a service (and am yet to finish) an Aggregates service. It was really interesting and quite fun. I am yet to do any services with the petroleum cars. I do have some livery ideas for them though

thanks again

 

I believe the 'super aggregates' from the GWE remaster deserve some additional attention. Double headed 66 with a combination of the HOA's from CL2 and the JNA's from SEHS. Nice services to drive.

 

I enjoy all CL packages just adds more variety and possibilities, especially now that ive gotten my head around PC Editor and building my own TTs!

For myself I would like to see Cargo line car carriers UK as their next installment, With another WCML DLC coming shortly with TVL, would look good running up and down it, including WCMLsth
