    No exact year. 1990-93 era. Or modern DB era.
    Approx 40miles with a main station (Plymouth).
    A major junction and loop (Loswithiel). 37s running around China clay wagons and waiting for passing expresses.
    Port for unloading at Fowey.
    Empties then return to China Clay Industry (Pakandillak branch near St Austell)
    Junction of ST Blazey and Newquay branch at Par.
    A series of local stations for a small capacity multiple unit.
    3 or 4 mainline stops for an Intercity Express
    Potential for future expansion. North to Exeter (40 miles) or West to Penzance (30 miles)and St Ives.(5 mile branch from St Erth).
    DLC Rolling stock:
    NEW
    ATP fitted Valenta HST in intercity executive yellow with red stripe/ Swallow reskin option. Lots of mixed rakes around this time. (The game randomly generating mixed liveries would actually add to realism).
    Class 150/3/6 Sprinter in original livery.
    China Clay covered Hopper wagon.
    Class 37 Possibly transferred from Darlington /Saltburn. With sector tweaks/or not. That wouldnt matter too much either. (Pics online of railfreight metals 37s working here also).
    LAYERS FROM OTHER ROUTES
    Class 47 Transferred from WSR (North Star carried the Intercity swallow Livery in its day. (Surely DTGs partners at WSR wouldnt object?) or NTP (which ever is easier) in Intercity or late BR Blue livery.
    Class 101 DMU TRansferred from NTP with slight paint adjustment (Black lining around cab windscreens.)
    On further research. The modern running of this route is operated by DB class 66. With GWR 800, HST and 150 running the passenger side of things. That could be an alternative option?
