Ay Valley Route Version 2

The Ay Valley route is a fictional network of lines set in the West of England, focused on a main line that runs roughly parallel to the real-world Great Western Main Line. The focus time period is approximately from 1990 to the present day, although it is possible to run scenarios set in the 1970s and 80s as well with a little artistic license.

This portion of the route focuses on the major city of Westhampton, with the emphasis on urban and suburban passenger and local freight services.

Version 2 of the route extends the total end-to-end driving distance by approximately twenty miles in a south-easterly direction from Denbigh Park to three separate destinations at Barrowmere, Hazelgrove and Hurlesdown.

Holyhead Breakwater Railway & Ay Valley V. 1 Uploaded

I have now uploaded both of these routes, now pending approval on UKTS and available on RW-Trainsim.co.uk. 4Shared links below.


Holyhead Breakwater Railway


The Holyhead Breakwater Railway was a stretch of industrial railway or tramway approximately 2 ½ miles in length that served to carry stone blocks from a quarry on Holyhead Mountain (Mynydd Twr) to  the Holyhead Breakwater, at just under 1 ¾ miles in length, the longest breakwater in the United Kingdom. The line was entirely isolated from the national rail network and ceased to be used in 1980, its sole function being usurped by lorry traffic. It is perhaps best known today for being the final home of the British Rail Andrew Barclay Class 01 0-4-0 diesel shunter.

The route as represented here for Railworks 3: Train Simulator 2012 depicts the breakwater railway network at its most extensive, with sidings located at the quarry carved deep in to the side of Holyhead Mountain linked to a small engine shed at Soldier’s Point by a single track that descends a gradient of approximately 1 in 50, a brace of sidings on the wharf at the mainland end of the breakwater and three short loops on the breakwater itself. The approximate period setting for the route is the early 1970s, but like many other industrial backwaters in Great Britain, little of substance seems to have changed since the 1930s.
