Scotland: West Highland Route + Jacobite Steam Train

[sir.eggy]

I'm trying to put together the West Highland Route in Scotland in Glasgow.

So far I have found:
West Highland Line Extension Route Add-On
- Fort William <-> Mallaig

West Highland Line (South) Route Add-On
- Helensburgh <-> Fort William

But I haven't found yet the missing part from Glasgow <-> Helensburgh and the Jacobite Steatm Train. Can anyone help me and point me to right DLCs?

Thanks! :)

Hi, to the best of my knowledge, I'm afraid I believe that section (i.e. Glasgow Queen St-Upper Helensburgh) of the Western HIghland route hasn't been fully created for Railworks, either as formal payware or even freeware. I guess Milepost Simulations probably thought that for their West Highland South route, the line from Helensburgh wasn't really scenic enough (having left the shores of Loch Lomond), and would create a lot of extra unwanted hassle going down through the suburbs/city of Glasgow. Note the official Steam DLC Glasgow-Edinburgh, does include part of the section of the southern most part of the WHR, starting at Queen St, and incorporates the start of the Crianlarich spur.

I can though help a bit on locos, ref the Jacobite. I would have thought your best bet is to use Victory Work's K1 Peppercorn DLC as sold in the Steam Store. The pack includes the correct livery, and also includes the ability to change the train nameplates (the Jacobite name is included) and numbers i.e. should you wish to run the 62005 as used for most of the current modern day Jacobite tours you can. As for coaches you've got a potential wide range of options; a good freebie to possibly use, if you have the original kuju BR MkI & II coaches, is to download from Steam Sounds Supreme the free WCRC Coach pack which includes the MKI and MKII BR coaches in Maroon livery. They require the game's original Kuju coaches. If you don't have these then you could always use the payware DT/AP MKI/II coach packs as an alternative. But there are plenty of Maroon MKI carriage sets available for the game. So it should at least it should be pretty straight forward to set yourself up with a realistic version of the Jacobite, even if the route itself is a little constrained.

Hope that's some help. All the best. :)
