    The Looe Valley Line is a small branch line set in the dense Forestry of Cornwall.


    This route isn’t meant to be anything complicated in gameplay, this route is only 9 miles, however this means that the scenery can be done to a high standard, This is more for those who want a relaxing experience, a far cry from the busy mainlines.


    LOCOS:

    BR Class 153 (GWR) (Reused)

    In 2018, GWR had a set of Class 153s before they were moved to Transport for Wales, and Scotrail. These would do the services along the route.


    STATIONS:


    LISKEARD
    COOMBE JUNCTION HALT
    ST KEYNE WISHING WELL HALT
    CAUSELAND
    SANDPLACE
    and LOOE


    SCENERY:

    The Route features amazing scenery opportunity, as the route runs along the East Looe River and through the dense Forestry and Valleys of Cornwall

    The Looe Valley Line runs 6 trains a day from Liskeard to Looe.



    POSSIBLE SCENARIOS

    Rescue Mission - 60 minutes - a 153 has failed near Looe, Drive a Replacement 153 to go and Rescue the Failed Train.


    KEY FEATURES:



    The Route Features the Unique Curve of Track which goes does a tight turn and goes down the valley to Coombe Junction Halt.

    Liskeard to Looe is a short 9 mile branchline, however this route could be developed to a very high standard. Like Niddertalbahn


    The right price for this route would be £19.99




    Thank you all for reading this Suggestion!

    Definitely a very good route, would make use of the 150/2 as a layer and 802 as you said and a 153 would make a welcome return and could be layered on Riviera maybe... Just wish we do get more branch lines as we rarely get any now.
