TS Marketplace: Weardale & Teesdale Scenario Pack 01

The Weardale & Teesdale Scenario Pack 01 – complete with 10 authentic and realistic career scenarios – brings you back to the good ol’ days of classic British Railways duties!

The Weardale & Teesdale Network spans dozens upon dozens of miles of North East England’s oldest and most important railway lines, which connect towns and cities with industries across the Pennines.

The area was linked with a prestigious and long list of railway heritage, with several railway-related works and engineering facilities to be found throughout the network. Darlington Railway Works, responsible for the building of many steam and diesel locomotives, was built in 1863 and survived until the Beeching Axe in 1966. Shildon Railway Works, known locally as ‘The Wagon Works’ as it built many of British Rail’s freight revenue vehicles, is also a famous landmark in the area, closing only recently in 1984 and now home to ‘Locomotion’, the National Railway Museum’s second site.

Much of this extensive railway network and many of those famous landmarks suffered at the hands of Dr Beeching, whose sweeping changes to the British rail network in the 1960s closed many of the branch lines to passenger traffic. As collieries closed and freight traffic reduced, by 1980 there was virtually nothing left of the famous routes as they were once known. However, with the Weardale & Teesdale Scenario Pack 01, you can bring the network back to life:

Take control or a range of iconic classic British Railway equipment such as the famed Peppercorn K1s to diesel multiple units such as the Class 105. The railway needs some bricks moved, the Lands Viaduct needs rebuilding, and a collision has detoured an excursion. Hop on-board with the Weardale & Teesdale Scenario Pack 01 to experience classic and authentic British rail operations!
