Train Simulator: Netherfield: Nottingham Network Route Add-On Free Download [portable] -- http://urluss.com/106jc8
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.

In terms of assets most of it seem to have been taken right out of the Woodhead line including some of the specific add-ons that go with it. The design of the line is ok and there's enough to keep you busy but some parts look poorly put together especially in one of the tunnels which looks downright nasty along with a few LED signals which I'm certain did not exist yet.For veteran players or those with a strong taste for British steam may find themselves with content they mostly already own with the only new addition being the route itself. As for new players they have a fairly sweet deal on their hands as most of the loco's included are available as seperate purchases for other routes with these being:Robison O4 with V2 included is $7.99 "Woodhead Line"Thompson B1 $8.99 "Woodhead Line"Fowler 4F $8.99 " Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway"This means if the player gets or already owns the two mentioned routes have extra scenarios ready to go. As for me if I got this at full price I would have easily put a thumbs down but 50% off on sale earns it a lucky thumbs up.5\/10. First off, I bought Netherfield during a sale, so I only paid \u00a35.99. 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.. Great route, so yes the stock are older models and re used sounds but coming in at $19.99 full price and not $39.99 you cant fault it.. 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.. A great route, extensive branches and sidings, it has a lot of scenario potential. Steam operations don\u2019t feel out of place at all on this route. I love the elevated sections out of Nottingham Victoria and there is a mix of electric signals and semaphore signals. The route also is nicely suited for locos such as the Class 20. The way the locos are included is that you receive the actual DLC's for them e.g. the 4F pack so basically it is a five-piece Bundle for $20 which is great value, even if the trains are older models. If you want a feel for how the route is, try the UKTS version it. You should definitely get this route as soon as you can.. I managed to bag this for \u00a37.99 at a recent sale and all is worth it by a large way. Pros: - 4 locos - LNER B1, LNER O4, LMS 8F, LMS 4F- Different scenarios and challenges. - Rolling stock. - Quick drives (When you are driving one loco, on the other side of the track you will pass other locos whether its the same class or different making way for a good photo\/screenshot opportunity. - Route is realistic for hours of fun- ValueCons: - Incorrectly states - LNER V2. It appears in the game but is NOT drivable. - All locos 4F, 8F, B1, O4 has been copies from previous add-ons with same sounds. - O4 can be a little dull- Old assets can question whether its worth the priceWhen I bought this product I only had the 4F and O4. I mainly got this pack for the 8F and B1 which would of costed a bit more. Apart from the drawbacks - a fantastic add-on I feel - I give it a 7.5\/10. well done i live in nottingham live just behide gedling startion about mile from Netherfield and love the train going into nottingham victoria startion .. I think the steam train are bit underpowered
