Manufacturer's Description
This new route for Microsoft Train Simulator lets the PC train driver control a train on the historic and beautiful Swanage Route in the county of Dorset. The route covers the former LSWR branch from Wareham to Swanage which the Loco driver can discover with four new drivable steam and Diesel engines.
Today the southern half of the route, between Swanage and Norden, is the preserved Swanage Railway, while the northern section, as far south as Furzebrook, is part of the National Rail network and serves an LPG terminal. The route has been modelled as it is today, but with the two sections of line joined together to allow through running from Swanage to Wareham. In addition to the branch, the Swanage Route also includes 5 miles of main line towards Poole and Bournemouth.The add-on comes with over 30 very accurately designed stations and request stops and gives a real example of the charm of the landscape and its typical buildings and towns in this part of the country.
