Description:

Introducing the new station pack from the world of Britain without Beeching!

With this set of blueprints you too can travel back in time to stop Beeching and Marples. Set the railways of Britain on a pathway to investment and growth rather than decay and soggy sandwiches — all from the comfort of your own home save!

Contents

Includes a growing and improving list of stations, such as:

  • Reading
  • Derby Midland
  • Old Oak Common
  • Darlington
  • Doncaster
  • Crewe
  • Chester
  • Nottingham
  • Newcastle
  • …and many, many more!

All are at least reasonably accurately modelled on the existing, pre-existing and future railway. Signalling is included (appropriate for gameplay but not modelled on the real positions) but for the most case accurate speed restrictions have not been added.

Many blueprints include bonus elements like historic tramways, complex sections of the London Underground (I’ve modelled Camden Town so you don’t have to😉!) and even ferry routes!

I’m still working ad-hoc on adding more advanced cosmetic elements to all these blueprints like train sheds, platform canopies etc. Some are only part complete in this regard, such as Preston Union which currently only has the beginnings of it’s train shed on the central set of platforms. I’ve included it in the initial release as it’s simply too important of a hub station on the WCML to not share. I’ll update the blueprint in time with the complete aesthetics in time.

Acknowledgements

This project wouldn’t have been possible without the numerous resources I have had access to:

Thanks must also go to the numerous creators who have made the many mods that really help bring this save to life.

p.s. If you’re wondering what the map style is that is used for these screenshots, it’s the excellent OS Landranger style (the ‘Purple’ maps for those ramblers out there) kindly modded by Delta 5-1: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3069119959&searchtext=
