    Liverpool to Manchester Victoria & Manchester Piccadilly- BR Blue Period Route now available here http://www.wotawallysbits.co.uk/liv-man-br-blue-route Click on the pictue to download.


    Description;
    This Route is a much revised version of the original DTG Liverpool to Manchester Route which has been regressed back to the BR Blue days, specifically 1975 to 1985, continuing our previous Workshop route – “Liverpool to Manchester Piccadilly via Warrington Central - BR Blue Period” (Phase 1). This is Phase 2 of a larger project to produce the network “South Lancashire and North Cheshire – BR Blue”.


    In this Phase, we have recreated the world’s first passenger rail line which originally went from Edge Hill through Rainhill and Earlestown, and over Chat Moss, to Manchester Liverpool Road. Later, the line was extended back to Liverpool Lime Street, and forward to Manchester Exchange, where it connected to the L&YR station at Manchester Victoria. Manchester Exchange and Liverpool Road stations are reproduced as they were during our time period. Liverpool Road continued as a Goods Yard, though recently it has become the Museum of Science & Industry. Exchange was closed in the late 1960s, but has become a car park. Victoria is as it was before the remodelling in 1990. In our period, the world’s longest platform (Victoria 11 and Exchange 3) was still in place and used to its full extent at nights for the newspaper trains. At Ordsall, near Liverpool Road, there is a connection to Piccadilly. Signals are a mix of colour lights and semaphore, still worked from several signal boxes. Only the first part of the route is protected by AWS; from just west of Patricroft through to West Yorkshire AWS was not installed until after the train crash at Eccles in 1984.


    IMPORTANT - Once you have installed this Route, to get the best out of it, you will need to install the Asset Pack which will provide the Station Signs, General Signs, re-modelled Manchester Central Canopy and Route Markers. The asset pack is included in this download. Unzip "Assets_for_Liv-Man_Vic_Route.zip" and look at the “READ-ME” for instructions on how to install, don't worry, it is simple.

    There are also 5 scenarios lower down the page as well

  • [CreativeRail] East Coast Modern: Peterborough - York

    Creative rail have very strong links to IHH. They were both located in the same area of Mansfield. Their customer policies are identical, I have often wondered if they are related, or even the same person. Although I have the original York - Peterborough and China Clay for Export it is unlikely I would buy from them again. There are very few scenarios for any of the routes, and I have little enough time to play scenarios, never mind trying to create them.

  • [AP] Wherry Lines Route released

    Scenario pack 2 now available http://www.armstrongpowerhouse…path=29_87&product_id=162
    also patch 1.2 for the route for those who bought it before today http://www.armstrongpowerhouse…ct/product&product_id=155 link below video.


    From product page;
    Armstrong Powerhouse presents its second scenario pack for the Wherry Lines: Norwich to Great Yarmouth & Lowestoft Route. Featuring 13 scenarios, this pack focuses on the final year of DRS class 47 operation on this route (June 2014 to June 2015). As well as the familiar 'short set' services using mk2 coaches, this pack features the famous summer Saturday 'drags' between Norwich & Great Yarmouth. Formed of a class 90/mk3/DVT set, these services were hauled by class 47 locomotives for this leg of the journey, so as to provide a direct service from London to Great Yarmouth. With a run round procedure at Great Yarmouth and shunting at Norwich, these scenarios are sure to keep you on your toes and offer a feel of proper railway operations.
    In these scenarios, we've strived for realism in all areas. For example, each scenario represents actual workings from the working timetable to create an as realistic experience as possible. As well as this, prototypical formations are used with most services having their headcode, time of leaving, origin and destination as their name so you can see which train is which!
    Finally, the following high definition reskins are included, which on top of quality visuals, feature brand new Anglia region specific destinations where applicable:
    DRS Class 47s (47501/47805/47813/47818/47828/47853) with LED lights, flush front & new fan grilles where applicable
    Northern Belle 47790 with LED lights, flush front & new fan grilles
    Ex-ONE (Abellio Greater Anglia) Class 153
    Abellio Greater Anglia Class 156
    Ex-Anglia (Abellio Greater Anglia) Class 170
    Ex-ONE (Abellio Greater Anglia) Class 170
    Ex-ONE Dark (Abellio Greater Anglia) Class 170
    Ex-Anglia Mk2 TSO
    Each scenario has been made to try and be as interesting as possible whilst retaining realism.

    There has been some discussion on UKTS about the role of these loks in the second world war. For completeness I will post the response from the author here;


    I cannot and will not force you to take any interest in any product we ever make, nor to buy it, but I will simply echo rkk01's and holzroller's comments. Especially so regarding the specific wagons, rather than locos. We all know that the 52ers were, like the 50ers and 42ers, intended as the German equivalent of our Austerity locos, they were used for far more than trains to concentration camps. In fact, having searched for photographs of these trains, I have found only a single one that actually includes a locomotive: which is not a 52er.


    The included vehicles are intended to represent the basic functions and needs of the German war machine, just as those included with the Q1, S160 et al are intended to represent the British, Soviet etc ones. Russia, for example, committed, for a much longer period, terrible atrocities on an even larger scale with the gulags et al - and yet I saw no comments regarding this when Pete (Victory Works) announced Russian vehicles, tanks, etc as part of the S160 pack. I appreciate that the acts committed in this period by the German state and their armies are far more discussed and still more prominent, but even so, I hope you understand my point, there.


    What with this being a German loco, hopefully it is quite obvious that this is intended to be a wholly serious and legitimate project, rather than intending to be contentious. We have specifically not included any vehicles or loads that could be linked to the terrible actions you refer to because we are well aware that would be absolutely tasteless and have no interest in causing offence or giving ourselves a bad name. The sole intention is to be able to give a good representation of the period with vehicles that would be of interest to those who like military history etc. I, myself, have long had a personal fascination with the history of the german political party at that time and the German side of WW2 - but that absolutely does not mean in any sense at all that I will or would ever condone a single thing they ever did. Goodness, no - but I still find the subject interesting. We were taught about it extensively in school. I find I am not alone - in fact, I have been told by several people that they will buy the pack purely because of the inclusion of the Tiger I! It is a period of history that, while incredibly unfortunate, is very much real, and no amount of hushing or censorship et al will ever change that fact. As previously stated, no wartime insignia of any description - whether original or modified - will be included in the pack as you download it after purchasing it from the publisher. The wartime loco will simply be grey with numbers on it. If you have no interest in the wartime insignia, then keep it as it is - if you do, and you live in a country where it is legal to do so, then you will be able to freely acquire a patch to add the relevant insignia to the locomotive.


    The focus is, by no means, on the wartime period intentionally - you cannot seriously say that there is not already a great selection of existing passenger and freight stock suitable for the vast majority of post-war operation of these locomotives, so we thought we would include something that hasn't been done yet, rather than simply duplicating existing content. Furthermore, as previously stated, we have been planning to investigate and hopefully recreate some of the domestic repurposing of the wagons we are including, but at this stage, that work has not been done.


    Dependant on the success of this initial pack, we seek to return to the 52ers in future; for those who are interested we will likely make a pack with more wartime variants, perhaps with a SSys wagon and other vehicles, and we also seek to make many of the modified versions post-war, as well as the Rekoloks. Again, this all depends on the success of this pack.


    Hopefully you now have a better understanding of our position on this, and the relevant facts, but ultimately, it is entirely up to you to form your own opinion based on this information.
