Train Simulator: Netherfield: Nottingham Network Route Add-On Password

Updated: Mar 18, 2020





















































About This Content Historic freight operations, spanning the plentiful collieries and challenging grades of Nottingham, and a plethora of iconic steam locomotives are ready for your command in this add-on for Train Simulator!The history of freight movements surrounding Nottingham began in 1850, when the Ambergate, Nottingham, Boston & East Junction Railway formed an east-west link to Grantham. At Colwick, near the small town of Netherfield and the original western end of the line, several sidings were constructed to allow inbound goods to be transported by horse and cart into the city of Nottingham, as the Midland Railway was outright refusing to let freight traffic pass through their station.Having already made its place known, the Midland Railway grew a monopoly over the Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire coal traffic and the Great Northern Railway, which consumed the ANB&EJR, wanted to have their own say in the lucrative industry. Since the original Ambergate line reached the outskirts of Nottingham, any further passage towards the city was through running rights. As the GNR sought to introduce their own coal traffic, the Midland Railway saw fit to significantly increase the cost of the rights to be prohibitively expensive. In return, the GNR decided instead to build their own infrastructure, it would be cheaper.The line from Colwick was already extended into Nottingham, through a new station titled ‘London Road’, (owing to the Midland’s freight refusal), but a new line linking to various collieries all the way up to the Derbyshire coalfields via Daybrook was soon in place. The first GNR shed at Colwick was completed by 1875, and once the entire line was complete, it did not take long for tons upon tons of coal to start rolling in from the north, and the sidings, depots and collieries all saw massive expansion in the following years.The GNR, and the Midland, were not the only railways to pass through this area, the Great Central Railway was also a keen contender in the coal industry, shuttling between the yards of Annesley and Woodford Halse (south of Rugby), upwards of 40 times a day!When the GCR planned their ‘London Extension scheme, which would see the construction of the London Marylebone and the now-lost Great Central Main Line, they jointly worked with the GNR to build the entirely new ‘Nottingham Victoria’. This vast and complex station was mostly hidden from view, being sub-surfaced in the heart of the city, yet that doesn’t hide the fact that there were four signal boxes, two turntables and passing loops around all platforms, the volume of both passenger and freight traffic was incredible.Of course nothing lasts forever, as was the case especially for the steam era and Nottingham Victoria station; a gradual decline of coal traffic and the streamline of the British railway network would soon see many lines fall silent, and the day-to-day operations of Nottinghamshire would be allocated to history.The bustling network of Nottingham features authentic experiences and challenging operations behind classic British traction:Included LocomotivesStanier Class 8FFowler Class 4FRobinson Class O4Thompson Class B1Sir Nigel Gresley’s V2Included Career ScenariosThe Netherfield: Nottingham Network route includes 8 challenging career scenarios.

This is a brilliant route, the end. O.K. this comes fixed in the steam era 8F 4F O4 & B1 are included and rather nice if a bit basic (I think DTG call them "CLASSIC"). However I am a diesel man so why would I waste my time with a steam route??, because this British Railways in its modernisation period. 1st Generation diesels fit right in here. Class 25, 37,40,50,55 all feel right at home here in green or blue. Class 101,105,111 D.M.U.s....bring them on. As for the yards 03s 04s 08s and all those 4w wagons to push about, heavan.The track layout and signalling would have remained unchanged right upto the 1970's,(well in general, I don't know about Nottingham area in particular). The only trackside elements which would have gone would be water cranes and coaling stages.Some uncharitable people have commented that tthis route has been created using stock assests and that anyone could have made it. Well two things here, 1.Go for it.....there is about two years work for one person here, don't they deserve a reward for there time and effort? 2.It shows what a versatile game TS20xx is and what is achevable within the route editor.. Well I must say Challenging but acurate! well done another UK Old school Line not fictional great to see! I would very much recommend! I'm about half way on scenarios would rate 9\/10, another great aspect is the detail including the multiple complexed rail layout with the compatability of quick drive any Consist! Obviously a few glitches updates will sort them but nothing major! Meaning the HUD Line few missing gaps but does not affect driverability..

Obviously a few glitches updates will sort them but nothing major! Meaning the HUD Line few missing gaps but does not affect driverability.. I really like this route mainly because it covers the era of steam, which is an era where I was fortunate to spend 3 great years working in, in New Zealand.I definitely prefer British Routes and Steam because they are the most like the NZ countryside and the 4-wheeled wagons look so much like those I saw and worked with.PRO.The two scenarios I have run to date are very well thought through, with lots of AI traffic to keep the run interesting.The B1 loco appears to have been updated from the original one, in that the head and taillights appear to be brighter, the whistle works with both the spacebar and the "B" key {I don't remember the original having 2 whistle options. Also I believe the engine sounds are a little more "Robust?".CON.Some of the Housing near Basford and Basford North appears to have been added in a bit of a rush, quite a few are at an obscure angle to the terrain and I noticed one block very close to the embankment have their backyards buried.Hopefully these anomallies can be fixed with a patch in the near future.DTG have already fixed a problem with the first scenario, that was not recording any Career points. That was fixed very quickly.Overall, for me, due to the era and interesting playability I will give this route a 9 out of 10..

DON'T BUY! This route is AWFUL and the photo is VERY MISLEADING. ALL the engines are old models with EXTREMELY POOR SOUNDS and don't simulate wheelslip, even when you are full reg, full gear on snowy rails up a steep gradient.. got the route and 8f pack but the V2 is no there to be seen. This is a great route in my opinion well worth buying. The track layout is superb and the one scenario I've so far completed is excellent. However it's only my personal opinion but the scenery is quite basic and falls below the standard of current route releases. Still worth 15 quid though.
