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.
