Narrow Gauge

[notorne]

A place to discuss narrow gauge routes for Train Simulator, such as new route suggestions.

how about snowndon mountain railway

[Trainsim]

i would like to see something similar to the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch railway. The other suggestions i have are a miniature railway like the ride on tourist attractions dotted around the uk. Ravenglass and Eskdale, Longleat Railway (miniature railway featured at Longleat Safari Park)

Hi all, I couldn't agree more. 15 inch gauge stuff has been neglected for far too long and I imagine would have a superb appeal with all the variety of rolling stock.

The Ravenglass and Eskdale would be one heck of a beautiful route to do, not to mention a challenging drive with the steep gradients. Equally beautiful and wide is the rolling stock, the oldest working 15 inch loco, the most powerful 15 inch gauge loco, and one of the best looking!

The Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch railway would offer parallel running and a huge variety of rolling stock for that "mainline in miniature feel." This would offer a longer run than "the Ratty" but I'd be equally overjoyed at either.

It'd be particularly wonderful if it was created in TSW, the ability to walk around and get the true sense of scale would be superb, but we haven't even got steam yet, so that's years down the line of it were to ever happen.

I know there was an MSTS version of both the R&ER and the RH&DR, so if someone was up to the challenge, some updated 15 inch gauge content would be superb!

All the best, S.

I've made an attempt at using blender to make some assets on the Romney. They haven't been very successful due to the fact that there are almost no tutorials on making things for train simulator. They have also not been to scale. If anyone is doing something involving train sim in blender, be it standard gauge, narrow gauge, an asset or any loco, please let me know as I'd be most interested especially if it was a tutorial.

Many thanks - Railfan.

What about Cumbres and Toltec scenic in two parts? Chama to Osier in one part, Osier to Antonito in another. Also create two or three engines and some rolling stock to go with it like the K-36, K-37 and K-28 Train simulator needs a good modern-day american Narrow gauge tourist route. And, For Gods Sake DO NOT PUT IT ON SOME SITE THAT I HAVE TO DOWNLOAD A FOLDER THEN...Ugh you get the idea. PUT IT ON STEAM as official payware and not on railworksamerica.com or something like that. Thx.

I'm looking for more 2ft 3in gauge locomotives. (4-6-0 WWI Tank engines, Tallylyn that's downloadable on steam, not another site. ROLLING STOCK (gunpowder vans, flatbeds, coal wagons etc). I'm an American with interest in Welsh narrow guage, I almost invested in three 009 locomotive kits a few years ago. How about the Corris line back in the early 1900's when it was the full 6 miles with various quarry branch lines !When it comes to te good ol' USA. I would enjoy the C&TS line. And please ! please dovetail ! include the whistles on the C&TS line in the 90's (i.e. 497's five chime, the reading 6 chime on 484 and or 489's Powell 3 Chime. Don't use some stock from the modern C&TS. If you give all the locos D&RGW 5 Chimes I'd be happy. Just DON'T USE THE MODERN WHISTLES !

In summary (for those who don't like to read). UK: Welsh narrow guage. and for the USA: Cumbres and Toltec Scenic Railroad.

Narrow Gauge maybe in East Asia is main stream.

A nice K-28 Mikado model, already has been produced by Britkits. You'll perhaps have to bite the bullet though and download & install outwith STEAM. Not quite sure what's so difficult for you in doing so. Being adverse to non Steam sold content, effectively means you're missing out on more than three quarters of all available content for TS. There's far more stuff not on Steam (commercial 3rd party stores + numerous Railworks forums) than found here in the Steam store. And a wide selection of some of the very best content for the game is not available through Steam. Hey ho, your loss if you can't be bothered.

Have you looked on UKTrainSim, it has plenty of narrow gauge from Steve Pontin, such as the Ffestiniog, which is of high quality considering it is all freeware (although it might be worth getting premium to be able to download faster)

I just brought the kwazulu Natal line. Mainly because if I was to build a route, it would be based in Queensland Australia as it's the same track gauge – 3 foot 6

I purchased it on the Dovetail website. They have their Spring Sale on now. I paid $17.50 AUD. Here's the link (Price is in Euros)

if your looking for narrow gauge routes ideas may i suggest building the setesdahlsbanen and nesttun to os railway

[crzybullseye]

I bought the britkits model and it wasn't worth my digested lunch! The framerate was terrible, especially for the scarce amount of detail. Like the old DTG big boy and challenger.
