Might be worth checking if this route links with the Steam version of Derby - Sheffield or is just a stand alone.
I don't have any of these yet but they look good. I notice though that the stock is in BR livery but the route is set in the more recent period as I understand it?
Yes, it's more modern but to get some scenarios you need quite a few extra items, mostly AP ones (Class 43 packs or which there are 3) or extra JT add-ons such as the Class 220 and class 222 (Voyager/Meridian). There are scenarios available for the route using default DTG stock though which is probably why the screenshot shows a class 43 in IC livery (mine seems to use the DTG FGW barbie livery on HSTs).
This release on Steam includes the European Loco and Asset Pack with the HST in Inter City Colours or BR Blue/Grey, the Class 47 and the Mk2 Blue Grey coaches. https://store.steampowered.com/app/...ine_Leicester__Derby__Nottingham_Route_AddOn/ People who buy the route on Steam can run the included scenarios without having to purchase anything else Peter
What I enjoy most in train sim is driving a complete route or service. (Normally through combined multiple scenarios linked together) Having spent many years on the midland main line in real life, would love to be able to recreate the Master Cutler Pullman Service (HST set in Swallow livery with 3 first class coaches from early 1990’s) I can see DLC that covers Sheffield to derby, derby / Nottingham to Leicester, and Bedford to St Pancras, but does anyone know if there a DLC for Leicester to Bedford??? (To complete the midland mainline).
There's no sign of a Leicester - Bedford link at present. Currently JT are working on the northern end with a Hope Valley extension from Sheffield to Manchester. Details here.
