Good Afternoon All, I'm considering the West Cornwall Steam Railtour DLC - basically is it worth it? Just for context, I'm not a fan of older routes in TSW - thus don't have any interest in either SOS or Peak Forest - but, however, I do quite like steam trains in real-life and thus I'd like the addition of steam railtours for some of the modern routes. I see that the West Cornwall Steam Railtour DLC would be available for timetables from West Cornwall, MML and E-G (I currently don't have this particular route however). However, frustratingly, it looks like SEHS only gets a steam railtour if you own SOS if that's correct? That's a shame if so considering the WCL steam railtour is AWS-enabled.
SEHS and I'm pretty sure Glossop too use the SOS jubilee despite the Rivet AWS version. But then for SOS you'd only get the BR Green livery for Bahamas on rail tours as opposed to the other 2 preserved Jubilees in the liveries provided by the rivet pack. Feels a little like swings and roundabouts benefits to both I guess.
The Rivet railtour is rubbish because it only comes with 5 coaches, which is completely unrealistic and makes it very dull to drive with such a light load. Fortunately, as you say, DTG seem to be sticking with the SoS Jubilee on their routes.
