Fantastic I’d buy for sure and a good example of how to sell route complete with pictures as well as description well done
Honestly having traveled on this line a couple of years back it wasn't really that interesting. It's mostly single track with rolling hills between a few towns with nothing much going on. If it were the complete Waverley Route down to Carlisle either pre-closure or as a 'what-if' style route being reopened along its full length then sure it would be a bit more interesting (although it is around 100 miles which is probably too long for TSW). Edinburgh to Glasgow via Falkirk or Edinburgh to Dundee via Kirkcaldy are far better options in my opinion.
Yea I would consider it but maybe wait till its extended to Carlisle unless they upgrade that in the future
There aren't any plans to extend as far as Carlisle - or even to extend at all for that matter - so your going to be waiting a hell of a long time.
Another British diesel route set in Modern Times and for Class 170 DMU they're identical to the to the properties Diesel multiple unit for Brighton and East Coast way lines Class 171. If extended all the way to Carlisle pre closure then locomotives there can layer to the 1980s routes NTP 1983 & TVL 1989.
