The Peak Forest Railway is a detailed route add-on for Train Sim World that transports players back to the British steam era of the early 1960s. This recreation covers 38 miles of the historic Manchester, Buxton, Matlock and Midland Junction Railway through Derbyshire, England.
Key Features of the Add-On:
- Authentic 1960s Setting: The route meticulously recreates the line as it appeared in 1963, capturing the atmosphere of British steam’s final years.
- Challenging Operations: Players face realistic scenarios involving steep gradients between Ambergate, Chinley, and the branch to Buxton. Heavy limestone trains from the massive Tunstead Quarry require authentic banking and double-heading operations.
- Detailed Rolling Stock: The add-on introduces the new LMS Fowler 4F steam locomotive (in BR Late Unlined Black livery). It also leverages other compatible Stanier-class locomotives from existing routes, such as the Jubilee and 8F classes, along with era-appropriate passenger coaches and freight wagons (including ICI Limestone Hoppers).
- Engaging Gameplay: The package includes a comprehensive 24-hour timetable for services and six unique scenarios, such as “Breaking the Bank,” which tasks players with banking a heavy freight train up a steep incline.
