South West Branch Line - Released

I am extremely pleased to announce the release of an all new and completely free route, initially exclusive to DPSimulation!

The 'South West Branch Line', created by Devon Labuschagne is a route loosely representing the line from Barnstaple to Exeter, better known as the Tarka line.

Painstakingly created in enormous detail, the route runs from the country town of Ashborough through the North Devon countryside to the mainline station of Stornton. It then continues onto to Stornton Central and ends at Redhurst Park. A route map depicting the route can be found in the manual. Requirements for this route have been kept at a minimum, with the vast majority of assets included in the package. However, you will require the European Loco & Asset Pack which is available from Steam. Users who owned the program prior to Train Simulator 2012 will already own this, it is also included with many popular routes such as WCML North & WCML Over Shap along with many others.

Several scenarios are included with the route and all use the above European Loco & Asset pack. Alternative versions of these scenarios are also included, these make use of further payware requirements for authenticity and details of these requirements are listed in the supplied manual.

Many members of the community helped contribute towards this fantastic route and details of these contributions can be found in the user manual.

This fantastic route can be downloaded** by clicking the following link.

** Although every effort has been made in preparation for the release of this route, it is expected to be extremely popular and will put a strain on the servers. If at any time you are unable to download the route, please wait a while and try again later.
