Route The Far North Line is a single track route in north Scotland that runs from Inverness to Wick and Thurso. This section of the route from Inverness to Lairg runs for 37 miles and has beautiful scenery ranging from sea views to dense forests and mountains. Map Rolling Stock Class 26 The class 26 would be featured in BR blue livery and would be the main loco of the route. These locos would run passenger services with MK1 carriages and some freight with box vans Class 20 The class 20 would also be featured in BR blue livery and run the Bowling - Invergordon oil freight services between Inverness and Invergordon MK1 carriage The Mk1 carriage would be the carriage used on all passenger services on the line, and would only be hauled by the class 26 B Class tank wagon These tanks would be used on the oil train services between Inverness and Invergordon with the class 20 BR Van wagon The van would be used on services with the class 26. It is already included in the BR Heavy Freight pack, so it could be added fairly easily Services The line would feature more passenger services than freight services. The class 26 would operate all the passenger services and some freight with the 2 axle box van along the whole route, while the class 20 would only operate a small number of oil train services between Inverness and Invergordon Overall Overall this route would offer good gameplay with great scenery, interesting locos and a decent variety of services.

Did any of the BR blue loco's already in game run on this route? If so they would make great layers for those that have NTP (and the freight pack for it)
I think 40s went up to Invergordon fairly frequently with various freights and 47s ran pretty rarely doing the same as the 40s. Also from what I can find online a 47 ran the whole line one year with a railtour, so that could be included as a service
This would be an amazing route and very different to anything we already have as it uses tokens on most of the line instead of signals (even today). With multi-timetable mode (DTG are adding GWE BR blue pack) it may also be possible to have modern day Class 158's as the track and signaling have not changed much.
I love the idea of this route but personally I'd prefer it in modern Scotrail era. Good route though and good suggestion!
