Lot of fun. The difference with the refurbished class 37's as used here and the unrefurbished class members is that they had their DC generators changed to alternators, so instead of having to be very careful with increasing power, you could take power in the first setting then after a few seconds open the throttle to full if the rail wasn't slippery. I think 40 145 will take a run to the seaside later as well.

It would also be better to wait for the update, because some of the scenery will change. Unfortunately JT don't seem to be able to get their construction right which is a pity.

Unfortunately yes, expensive but you get a lot for your money;

Armstrong Powerhouse presents the Wherry Lines; running from Norwich to Great Yarmouth & Lowestoft. This route is the culmination of a year of dedicated work, to try and supply the most immersive experience seen in the simulator to date. With numerous brand new semaphore signals, dense vegetation, highly detailed representations of Norwich & Great Yarmouth stations, jointed track, accurate signalling simulation, this route has it all. Throw some new class 37 sounds and Mk2F coaches on top of that and within an instant, you can be transported to the line that time forgot. Please check out the feature list below to see exactly what is included:
Route
44.1 miles from Norwich to Great Yarmouth (via Acle & Reedham) & Lowestoft.
25 scenarios based on the real timetable and covering all scheduled class 37 workings
28 custom made semaphore signals with sound and accurate, absolute block simulation
Smooth looking cutting and embankment sides, rich in vegetation
Jointed and continuous welded track in the correct places as of 2007
New and ultra-realistic fair weather cloud textures

And much, much more!
Rolling stock
Brand new, highly detailed DRS Mk2F coaches (BSO & TSO)

Yes, reminds of the days when I used to drive the 37's and the stream is still available to watch again. Glad I saved my money for this. http://www.twitch.tv/armstrongpowerhouse/v/51175951

Some nice repaints here https://www.bluecode.org.uk/do…in-simulator-2015/reskin/ including a pack for the class 73 which includes the pullman repaint.

Part of the answer for route requirements and what is included with the route
From FB;
On top of everything already shown, our forthcoming Wherry Lines route contains a heavily reworked class 37; which requires the Dovetail Games Settle to Carlisle route to work.

One feature of this is a completely re-textured cabview with added modern fittings such as GSMR, TPWS & DRA. All finished to the highest quality by Jordi Blumberg.

The one of Three routes is for vegetation, I would imagne that Great Eastern is for the Catenary and Norwich assetts as these would be a lot of work for a small part of the route, instead the effort has been directed at other elements of the route like signals, unique station buildings and signalboxes etc.

The problem with the scenario at Cardiff is known and will be fixed, there are so a couple of pathing issues with a couple of QD Which thus will be dealt with. But please let JT know about errors as well.

Route requirements:
- GEML: London to Ipswich
- Isle of Wight
And ONE of the three routes listed below:
- WCML North
OR
- Western Lines of Scotland
OR
- Portsmouth Direct Line
Scenario requirements:
- Settle to Carlisle
- GEML Class 90
- Just Trains Class 153 Advanced

There will also be follow up scenario packs using a wider variety of trains.

@Baw326JT hope to release the 7MT Brittania in early March.http://www.justtrains.net/product/br-7mt-advanced

Any issues with the route please let contact JT support, some issues have been reported including the scenario mentioned above. An update is planned.

There have been some comments on UKTS about the trees in one section of the route, the route author has said he will take a look at it. Also the lack of clutter, but the route has taken 4 years to build.

Correct, it will be pay-ware. @tom87 if I know AP either the re-skins will come with the route or a separate download will be made available on the route page. Richard likes to make things easy for his customers.

Should be available in the next few days' according to last nights stream. Think it might be an expensive weekend for some if VR, JT and AP all come at once.

Release must be very close, the screenshots are coming thick and fast.

I think still 150's, 153's, maybe 170's, 47's and 37's with coaches. Pretty much any freight engine could probably be justified. All we know for sure is that the coaches are included, I suspect maybe a 37 as well. But it hasn't been anounced yet exactly what will be included other than the coaches. For me it will be Blue 25, 31,37, 40, 47, 101,105.

Ideal for the local services on this route

I haven't been over the route since the 90's, it's ok, but too modern for me. 1980's with class 50's, 56's and peaks, now that would be better. I might get it, but I will wait and see how the first buyers get on, too many problems with the last 2 JT routes.

Track looks ok, but when I watch the stream I can't help but wonder what JT were thinking. An official stream would have been better I think.

Probably not the best choice, I turned the sound of for a while, but he has it running now. He has just said that it is a pre-release version, so there may be changes yet
