Description:

This follows The branch line from Aberthaw in the south to the main line at Llantrisant. Grades are very harsh (as much as 1:45) north of Cowbridge, but the line levels out towards the south.
It is set in a ‘what if scenario’, where the line stayed open to passengers past the actual closing date of 1926 (Aberthaw) and 1954 (Cowbridge). Included is a simple timetable set in 1972 including a 108, 122, 117 and 37 performing various duties.

Track outline sourced from RailMapOnline.com and terrain heights from https://en-gb.topographic-map.com/maps/b9/England/. Detailed station maps and grades sourced from ‘The Cowbridge Railway’ a book by Colin Chapman. Track is based off of the 1919 layout, although I have altered the track where I see fit.

I will update this in the future when more editor options are added and to make more of the sidings functional for other timetables.
Requirements are only needed if you want to use the included timetable.

Thanks to the members of the Diesel Railcar Simulator Discord server, as I would never have been able to complete this without them.
