Exclusively available in Australia in boxed version from PC Aviator. Buy now for local dispatch and delivery. No download needed!
Note: This is an add-on products for Train Simulator 2013 (sold separately)

This superb Class 3700 package with the 100mph-topping 'City of Truro' features a variety of finely detailed Class 3700 steam loco's with a set of three Mk.1 coaches in brown and cream and also four Clerestory coaches.

12 enjoyable scenarios for a number of routes are included - here's your chance to the recreate the famous 103mph run!
The distinctive Class 3700 locomotives are presented here in a set of authentic liveries and with different cabs depending on the era depicted. Also included is a set of Clerestory and Just Trains Mk1 coaches, both with passenger view.

12 exciting custom scenarios (including some that require additional routes) complete the package!

The 'City of Truro' locomotive would become famous on May 9, 1904 when it was timed at 102.3 MPH while descending the 1-in-86 Whiteball bank with the ‘Ocean Mails’ parcel service. The accuracy of this speed has been questioned and investigated a number of times, but the loco was certainly travelling in excess of 98 MPH when it passed Milepost 171 near Wellington in Somerset! If we believe the recording of Charles Rous-Marten it is certain that 3440 ‘City of Truro’ was the first steam locomotive to reach 100 MPH anywhere in the world. We have included a scenario to see if you can also get to this magic number!

CLASS 3700

The GWR Class 3700 locomotives were designed by George Jackson Churchward and ten were built in 1903 at the Swindon Locomotive Works. GWR also converted ten of its Class 4100 locomotives and these were released in 1902 and 1907-1909. The converted loco’s retained their names of cities in the British Empire whilst the ‘new-builds’ were given the names of well-known British cities.

They were fitted with the 4-4-0 wheel arrangement which was popular at the time and were mainly used on express passenger and parcel delivery services.
All twenty engines were withdrawn between 1927 and 1931, with nineteen scrapped and only 3717 'City of Truro’ surviving for preservation. ‘City of Truro’ was donated to the National Rail Museum’s National Collection by GWR.

Mid Hants Railway - The Watercress Line (PC-CDROM) for Train Simulator 2013

 Exclusively available in Boxed Version in Australia from PC Aviator! Get it here, now, and local!

Important Note: This is an add-on for Train Simulator 2013 which is sold separately here and required to be installed prior to installing the Mid Hants expansion. Also note that the European Asset Pack (sold separately at the Steam store must also be installed prior)

The Mid Hants Railway heritage route – or the Watercress Line – runs ten miles between the market towns of Alresford and Alton.

All the stations are accurately modelled with numerous custom assets in this rendition of the line, which features authentic signalling along the whole route an accurate gradient profile, and ten scenarios to put your driving skills to the test over the Hampshire ‘Alps’

The single track Mid Hants Railway heritage route – affectionately known as The Watercress Line – runs for 10 miles from Alresford Station, through Ropley, Medstead & Four Marks and then finally to Alton Station where the railway links to the mainline.

All the stations feature custom assets including buildings, signal boxes, footbridges and at Ropley the restoration sheds. In addition smaller station signs, lights and even the 'You're approaching the Strong Country' art deco posters are included at Alton and Alresford.

The route features authentic signalling, including semaphore signals between Alresford and Medstead stations and the new colour light signals at Alton. At Ropley the signals are modelled on the yet-to-be-commissioned signal diagram, as are some of the signals at Alton, so you can experience the signalling before even the real train crews have! Be sure to watch out for the AWS warnings along the route as all distant semaphore signals have permanent AWS ramps.

The line follows an accurate gradient profile, climbing out of Alresford at 1-in-80, which rises to 1-in-60 half way between Ropley and Medstead, then be prepared for a four-mile slog on the run back from Alton up another 1-in 60-gradient!

Ten enjoyable scenarios are included to keep you busy!

First Run Down
A run from Alton to Alresford with Black 5 No. 45379. You will collect your passengers before beginning your run up the 1-in-60 gradient to Medstead.

Freight Charter
A challenging double-headed scenario, where you must take the freight train down to Alton then follow the instructions of the photo charter crew. There is plenty to do on this bright and early morning, running up, down and all around the Watercress Line.

Relief Turn
As relief driver you will take 45379 from Ropley to Alresford and back - a nice simple half hour job!

Run to the Rescue
The Black 5 has failed on a run up from Alton and you must rescue it using the resident Class 37. No dallying in this scenario!

Santa Special
A top 'n' tail Christmas operation - take a six-coach service topped by 45379 and tailed by a Class 37 from Alton to Ropley and back.

Stock Movement
A simple movement of stock from Alresford to Ropley with the resident 37.

The Ale Train
You are driving the last round trip of the Real Ale Train which runs from Alton to Alresford and back again, after which you will bring back the stock to Ropley and stable the loco. With seven coaches behind you this will be a challenge over the steep gradients.

Up and Down Again
A weekday run. With just one train in service you have a timetabled run up and down the line from Alresford to Alton and back again with the 7F and six coaches, so there's more than enough to keep you busy.

Weekend Antics - Part 1
Take 45379 from Ropley to Alresford to collect today's service train, then run to Alton. There's plenty to keep you busy with even the odd red signal!

Weekend Antics - Part 2
The sequel to Part 1 - run round your coaches and make your way back to Alresford. There are a few peculiar goings on today, though...

System Requirements:

1. Train Simulator 2013 with European Asset Pack installed (sold separately)
2. 3.0GHz PC or any Dual Core
3. 2.0GB RAM
4. 256MB graphics card
5. Windows 8 / 7 / Vista / XP
6. 261MB hard drive space

Note: This route expansion requires that you have installed the European Community Asset Pack (available to buy from the Steam website) if your Train Simulator 2013 software was purchased AFTER 20 September 2012.
