    Introduction
    This would be an extremely different route to bring into the game with a variety of scenery and things to do. This route would play into the fun and enjoyment of driving a train rather than a focus on realism.
    What is lappa valley
    Lapa valley is a small series of miniature railways (some just being a small loop) with a beautiful lake and park with various activities to do in the middle. Lappa valley have a wide range of locos some of which are slightly smaller models of what's already in the game like the HST below

    Multiple train lines
    Lappa valley have multiple trainlines which would require the player to travel a little around the map which would encourage exploration and the free roam element of the game. This location consists of 3 short railway lines each leading to interesting tourist locations as seen below.

    Trains
    I am aware there have been discussions of DTG not continuing with steam content, i am going to include a steam loco in this suggestion as i feel it is a vital part of the route however the route could still be made without it. This route would come with 3 trains (This would make up for the shorter route still priced at £30 explained below).

    Why I think this will be a good route
    This will add a never done before in TSW British miniature railway which would be quite a different enjoyable experience to what you would find in heritage railways such as WSR. In addition to this it has an element of exploration with activities you can do in the middle around the lake as well as the fun of driving a tiny drain up and down a line. This route would also be good for those who don't have the time to do a large 1 hour train run as each line only takes a few minutes end to end or circular in some cases.
    Pricing
    Pricing would be the standard £29.99 as it makes up for its length by giving more trains, branch lines and the unique experience itself adds value.
    Scenarios

    Around, and around and.... - Here's a challenge, see how many loops you can do on the green line without getting bored. Most loops win. this could have a leader board and be a more competitive scenario.

    Summer surf - LV is seeing a large increase in passengers in the summer, 2 locomotives are running on the main orange line so the passing points will be in use, Deliver passengers to and from the ticket office/ parking to the main central location.

    I went to this railway in 2019 whilst on holiday, narrow gauge/miniature gauge I don't think will ever happen in TSW but we'll see!

    This honestly would be a fun little PC Editor Exercise to do, just to get familiarized with the tools. May I use the idea?
