Settle to Carlisle review ~ Train Simulator

Ойындар

Taking a trip down Memory Lane (as it were) to review Dovetail's old Settle to Carlisle route in Train Simulator. It's significant to me as the second add-on I ever bought for this game, although I have realised that it has a few problems (such as its dated/basic scenery and linear nature, not to mention the old/poor-quality rolling stock that's included).
The S&C is a famous route running over hilly terrain between North Yorkshire and Cumbria, up in the north-west of England. It was built by the Midland Railway and opened in 1876, with famous landmarks along the line including Ribblehead Viaduct, Blea Moor Tunnel and Ais Gill Summit. There are long 1 in 100 inclines up to the summit at both ends, which is how the route came to be known as 'The Long Drag'.

    That GP30 is just a menace. He diesel-napped a teddy bear, got arrested and the either jailed or deported back to the US or something (I loved that whole plot line ngl)

    The GP30 thing was something I randomly came up with as I went along.

    I always wished this route had extended to Leeds, as the local / express trains that ply their trade on this route, all operate from Carlisle to Leeds. No trains terminate or commence from Settle. I think that visually, whilst it is dated, it's still looks pretty nice, with AP weather in place.

    I do have this route on TS Classic, only a handful of ones I do, as this is sorta local to me. If this was to come to TSW IMO, it would have to start from Skipton (the station is not far from my house actually!) where you can drive Morcambe services as far as Long Preston as well as the full Skipton to Carlisle services, but that means the Electric Airedale services won't be represented. It is one I'd love to see, but I hope this doesn't end up like an Antelope Valley like situation

    The S&C in TSW would be very interesting, but I wouldn't be surprised if DTG cut the route coverage at Settle instead of Skipton. Time period wise, I think it would have to be set some time after 1986, when all those other stations reopened.

    To be honest, I've been hoping for the Airedale and Wharfedale electric lines to come to TSW since the game came out (since I'm from Ilkley, although lived in Skipton). So these two routes would go together brilliantly, with 158 layers between Leeds and Skipton and 333/331 layers in Skipton on the S&C route. I think the Skipton - Leeds - Bradford - Ilkley route would make for a super diverse route with some cool motive power, without it being too long and unrealistic for DTG to include, plus DTG already have the Northern licensing after glossop.

    Great video; but you missed a lot of other extra DLC that’s also available for this route with extra scenarios on Steam it isn’t just 3. Here’s the list: BR Class 50 Loco Add-On (MeshTools) Duchess of Sutherland Loco Add-On (Dovetail Games) LMS Coronation Class “Duchess of Hamilton” Loco Add-On (Dovetail Games) LMS Stanier Class 5 ‘Black Five’ Steam Loco Add-On (Bossman Games) LMS Stanier Class 8F Steam Loco Add-On (Bossman Games) Hope this helps! (There may be more, not 100% sure. I’ll have to check later, if there is I’ll add more to this comment)
