Train Simulator 2020: Stainmore,Shap and Eden Valley 

Having driven a few scenarios on this already it's great to be able to just sit back and watch it - it really is a cracking route.

My late Grandfather who was an LNER driver told me about the iron viaducts on this route ( I had mentioned trestle bridges in Western films). I later found out that the engineer who constructed them was the same engineer who made the original Tay Bridge. Obviously the disaster which ensued was the ruination of him, and yet the iron viaducts on the Stainmore line stood the test of time to the end.

Always tried to imagine a trip over Stainmore and this is as close as it gets. Brilliant details of the route, Thank you.

There was actually a proposal in 1996 to rebuild the Stainmore Line including a new Belah viaduct. I got the prospectus and they had costed the whole thing out including estimated fabrication costs for the viaduct. They were as mad as a sackful of monkeys but it was a nice idea.

This route is worth every last penny. Wonderful work. I can see why it's taken so long to create. Very well done. Love it.

This looks really good. Surprised me that there doesn't seem to be many videos of the route up on youtube. Thanks for uploading this one.

One can see that this route has been a labour of love, its great to see a period route been made for TS. Only caveat is that it appears to be too clinically clean for a route of that era, but you can say that for 99% of TS routes, there needs to be grime, kettles were never clean neither the environments they worked in. Plus continuously welded rail, pretty sure 60 foot jointed rail is prototypical and bouncy and swaying. This isn't a negative rant either, just constructive criticism for a great achievement in re creating this long gone route.

Probably gonna be my favorite route

1:11:50 a LWB Series I Land Rover SW. Loved it. Seldom have I seen this level of dedication to detail in a route for Train Simulator.

I’m not a steam fan, so I didn’t think this route would be for me.. How wrong was I?.. bought it and love it!

My favourite route for a very long time has been Western Lines of Scotland for its lengthy runs with steam trains. This might just give it a run for its money. It just looks amazing

Did a quick-drive on this phenomenal route earlier using the Robinson 04 with 10 wagons and 10 hoppers just to try a challenge. Could barely get past 20mph but I got to enjoy the scenery 😅

Fantastic video, would love to see this for West Cumbria disused railways but understand the amount of work taken to achieve this. Thanks also for reference to Snowdrift at Bleath Gill.

Thanks for a very interesting and informative video. I have been waiting for this since it was first mooted and the route looks fantastic. I didn't pre-order it but will do so as soon as it a is released. I think £29.50 is very good value considering the work that has gone into it and the stock included. Some people know the cost of everything and the value of nothing.

A great video of a fantastic route (amazing achievement by those involved - a work of art and history as much as virtual modelling, really). You were wondering where exactly the train became stranded at Bleath Gill - you can tell from some shots from the famous documentary that it was just east of the actual cutting. You pretty much have the camera on the spot, and your train rolls through the location at about 48:45 :)

Thanks for the video, I bought this yesterday. I also realised yesterday that although it is true that driving the PDL might seem a bit unrealistic without any AI trains, on a route like this I'd have no problem at all if I never saw another train except mine :) btw, are the keyboard shortcuts the same as usual? (I,K,O and L). What's the shortcuts for shovelling coal? I tried the 4MT tutorial scenario yesterday and couldn't get it to work. Thanks.

I was spell bound, never seen anything like it. I don’t possess a computer and wouldn’t know how to begin, but I wish I could. I’m building a model railway in my shed and this has given me ideas. Thanks so much. I’ll watch more. Phil Oh btw... do you have to manage the fire and boiler as well or was that happening automatically?

Mark, again thanks very much for the guide on the forth coming route from Steam Sound Supreme. Are there any tips on driving steam, as you always make it look so easy.

There are several requirements for this Stainmore, Shap And Eden Valley route. And no, this route is not a freeware. It might be very coming soon to SteamSoundsSupreme. I am unable to use WCML North, WCML Over Shap, South London Network, Brighton Main Line and Guildford District routes for now because every time I installed UK Pro Signals (UKLedSignals01) perfectly, but the UK Led Signal assets does not shown up. All other routes except WCML North, WCML Over Shap, South London Network, Brighton Main Line and Guildford District worked fine, but I will edit five of these routes to swap out the signals by replacing it from UKLedSignals01 to the E2G (Edinburgh-Glasgow) version because these signals from E2G are actually the same as the RSC's UK Pro Signals pack. Once I fixed these signal issues, I will publish to my website for "WCML North Update (Extension To Edinburgh Waverley with E2G signals)", "WCML Over Shap Update (Extension To Warrington Bank Quay because North Wales Coastal is already discontinued)", South London Network Update (Extension To St. Pancras Via Farrington)", "Brighton Main Line Update", and the "Guildford District Update (The DTG's PDL signals are replacing some old RSC ones)".

Amazing detail, but no water stops?

What scenarios are included? There's no list anywhere

What are your rw enhancer settings?
