Creation Sharing Esk Valley And Nymr

I'd love it if the route actually made it onto the game! Even if it was reduced in size, so it only contained the NYMR, Whitby and Battersby, I'd still be happy.

 

Where was that?

 

It’s be great if it went all the way up to Middlesbrough as the existing 158 could be used and a new 156 northern stock

 

On the DTG stream for the May Roadmap

 

Hi Andy. Hope you’re well!? What’s the latest

 

Hi. Progress is being made but nothing to show at the moment.

 

Hi Andy, any updates?

 

I was about to check in and ask too!

 

Hi everyone.

Sorry for being quiet on the forum post but things have been happening in the background.

So I have some exciting news to share.

I have been accepted as an official developer which means that when I have completed the project I can release it on all platforms. This does mean however that I have to respect certain ways of doing things.

With this in mind, and as I wont be using the public editor anymore, I wont be able to share any more updates on the project until myself and DTG are ready. As you can imagine this is a very large project, so this will take a long time.

Thank you for all of your support and I look forward to sharing the project with everyone across all platforms at some point in the future.

Regards

Andy

 

This is brilliant news mate, good on you! I do look forward to it coming to the game, no matter how long it takes you.

 

HOLY MOLY THATS BRILLIANT

 

Great news and good luck with progress, it should be a fantastic route when completed - is NYMR in on the project too?

 

Congrats, Andy. Now you got access to the real tools and support, and your project has the chance to be available for all to enjoy!

 

Congratulations Andy!

I hope you make everyone happy when the route gets realised, I hope with various reskins and new locos/ units

 

Allow me to just scrape my jaw up off the floor. Well done you! I knew this would happen. I can’t wait to get my hands on this! Keep up the bloody fantastic work!

 

I know it’s difficult now but I can still help with this as it’s my area

 

Hi Andy, hope you still see this. Can we push DTG for a little look at whats going on?

 

Can never have too many UK routes.

 

Any updates?

 

Have a read of Andy’s post from 20th August. It answers your question

 

Hoping this route will be on one of the Festive reveals in conjunction with the (hopefully) return of steam

 

Is esk valley a heritage line?

 

Esk Valley line Runs from Middlesbrough to Whitby with the NYMR heritage branch line at Grosmont. They often run steam to Whitby, or they used to anyway.

 

Middlesbrough to Whitby is a mainline route. The NYMR is a heritage line that shares part of the mainline from Grosmount to Whitby.

 

I'm sure they have services to carlisle also from whitby. Saw a couple when I was there earlier this year

 

Wow amazing work, cannot wait to hopefully see this be ported to consoles

 

It will be eventually, we’re not going to see it for a long time yet tho

 

This is coming along really nicely since I last checked, keep up the good work.

 

This will be cool to see one day.

 

It’s coming

 

I've never visited this area of the forums before, as i only play on console (PS5) and as much as i love the idea of creating my own route it would in truth be far beyond my abilities.. but i heard this particular route (the Middlesbrough to Whitby line, with NYMR) has been selected by DTG to eventually be released as a DLC for everyone, including myself on console.

i just wanted to say I love what i've seen here so far, i think it's such an interesting choice of route especially with the different signalling system in place. I always say timetable mode is key to any DLC but here i'd say that's really not the case, if the scenery and immersion is of a high quality (and based on what i've seen and read it certainly seems to be) this has such huge potential as being a really great route to drive, and maybe could pave the way for other routes that are very scenic but sparsely-populated timetable wise (Inverness-Kyle of Lochalsh Line comes to mind as really immersive but really quiet).

really looking forward to seeing this route develop, it's the kind of route where if i have an hour and a half spare and want to relax into a scenic and more relaxed pace of route, it'd be a really great way to spend my time.. can't wait to hear more about this development for sure!

 

Go to “Casual Rail” on YouTube. I’ve made a video about this DLC and what we’re likely to see! And will be following it up shortly with a more in depth look!
