    The Atlantic Coast Line is a scenic branch railway in Cornwall running between Par and Newquay. The route passes through the wooded Luxulyan Valley, across Goss Moor, and through the historic china-clay landscape before reaching the popular seaside town of Newquay, which has recently been given a second platform.

    The newest addition to the line is the passing loop on Goss Moor, which allows trains on the branch to run hourly.

    ROLLING STOCK:
    CLASS 150/2 (Revamped)

    The Class 150/2 from Riviera Line would return for this route, doing stopping services between Newquay and Par.

    This DMU could also be fitted with brand new sounds, fault simulation and other unique features.

    BR CLASS 802 (Reused)

    This branch line features small stations, level crossings, rural roads and traditional Cornish scenery would give it a distinctive identity.

    The route passes through the wooded Luxulyan Valley, open countryside, china-clay landscapes and eventually the coast around Newquay.

    Due to the routes compact nature. It would be a good opportunity to increase scenery density and make it look nice. Just like Thames Valley Branches.

    The route itself is unique in that its mostly single track, making for a branch line feel and a unique driving experience with the IET.

    LAYERS:
    BR Class 66 - AI around St Blazey Sidingd and Goonbarrow Junction

    BR Class 08 - AI at St Blazey Sidings.


    PRICE:
    due to the short nature and mostly reused stock of the route, the price of this toute could be around £19.99 - £24.99


    Thanks all for viewing!
