We have uploaded a trailer and preview video for our upcoming LMS Circuit project, a re-imagining of the popular Steam Workshop route 'An LMS Route'. The trailer shows the variety of operations possible on this route!
After the trailer, we take a slow goods train from Broadbottom to Woodhead Yard, via the eastern loop and a stop for trainspotting in a refuge siding at Crowden. The route uses names from Woodhead.
We look forward to sharing more. For now, here's the route page.
An update has been released which fixes the following issues with Great Western Levels (1902):
We have released a weathering pack for the PLD GWR Hall & Modified Hall Classes. For example, shown below is Modified Hall No. 7905 Fowey Hall in grubby BR Lined Black livery:
Alternatively, here is an example of Hall No. 4982 'Acton Hall' in weathered GWR Shirtbutton livery.
The pack, along with many others made by our expert reskinner Anthony, can be downloaded here.
This scenario pack covers the KWVR 50th Anniversary. Day 1 would see Ivatt 41241 officially launched into service after an appeal to return her to steam in time for the gala.
Great Western Levels (1902) is set in an alternate timeline where the railways in Somerset were built around a GWR mainline from Salisbury to Williton, rather than the Bristol & Exeter line. The route covers around 42 miles of track, with 27 miles of mainline, an 8 mile branch to Bridgwater, and a 5 mile branch to Highbridge. There are also extensive industrial branches totalling up another few miles.
The route features the GWR in a transitional period, where the Broad Gauge has been gone for 10 years but it is still a decidedly Victorian railway. Red distant signals, baulk road track, and point signals are indications of the early period in which this route is set. The route is all managed by the GWR, but the LSWR and other companies frequently venture onto it to take advantage of its access to the docks and holiday traffic.
