    I know we got a few steam routes but i was walking on the cinder track on sunday from Hawsker to Prospect Hill Junction where the single track climbs and curves right from Bog Hall junction into West Cliff. Sadly a sight no more 60 years later..Would be great to see this route at its glory using a LNER B1 A Standard Tank 4MT and a LNER L1 class. Okay passenger services is abit small but in the 1955 timetable 13 trains going towards Scarborough and 13 trains going towards whitby Thats 26 trains each way. + Some freight services and a railtour. Some services at Whitby West Cliff goes via Battersby. So they may be some AI services too. I dont think a LMS Jubilee A 8F or a Fowler 4F goes anywhere near this line in the 50s.

    It would be glorious but sadly way far off DTG or any 3P comfort zone when making payware DLC.

    The sort of route that would be ideal as a freeware project, if TSW actually had an easy to use editor and a ModHub for free content to reach all platforms.
