Glorious Devon 1960's - Now Released!

Glorious Devon 1960's

An all new route from Team GD60 which consists of Tristan Peat & Mike Graves, plus help and reference from many members of the community.

The section of the former Great Western Railway that runs along the South Devon coast between Exeter and Paignton is one of the most famous and picturesque locations in England that has captured many people's hearts.

“Glorious Devon” recreates the area as it would have looked in the early 1960's, pre 1964 after which the Beaching cuts took effect. Significant research has been undertaken to achieve the closest possible authenticity, recreated in digital, for the Rail Simulator game. A period of great transition for Britain's railways, from much loved steam traction – Manors, Halls, Castles and Kings, to early classic diesel hydraulics – Hymeks, Warships and Westerns.

Glorious Devon offers great potential for scenario writing, from local passenger services, to inter-regional expresses to London, the Midlands and beyond. Although the location is predominately rural, freight services were varied too, including coal distribution and fuel for a 40MW power station, livestock, milk and china clay.

There is much to discover, from rail connected docks to stations long since closed but now brought back to life.

New Repaint Pack Released

I have just uploaded an extremely comprehensive new BR Blue Grey Mk1 coaching pack to the DPSimulation website courtesy of Richard Fletcher.

Utilising the Mk1 coaches included with the Clan 6MT addon, the pack includes nine different variants of passenger coach, including all four sleeper types. Also included are six repaints of the BG full brake, depicting blue and blue grey liveries with branding for Express Parcels and Newspapers, also unbranded versions too (to partially mimic a GUV).

Improvements and modifications include a fully reskinned passenger view and the aliasing of AP sounds, although these are not essential. For the day coaches, empty versions are provided for sidings and ECS workings (except the BSK which has no passengers by default).  An amended .bin file is also provided for a full brake that if included in a non-passenger consist (parcels train for example), it will enable the user to activate station stops. Internal lighting is also added where appropriate to some BG's.

This mammoth coach pack can be downloaded from the 'Coaching Stock' section of Richard's page by following this link.

East Coast Mainline: North East - V1.4 Coming Soon

I am pleased to announce that the next version of ECMLNE is entering the later stages of development and will be released in the coming weeks.

Featuring the highly detailed 21 mile extension between York and Leeds, this update will allow further scenario opportunities and once again will include all new custom assets to represent stations, landmarks and lineside clutter.

Further updates and screenshots will be posted in the coming days and weeks, so make sure to visit the blog regularly.
