Trainz Simulator 2009: Settle and Carlisle lets you drive trains on an 87-mile stretch of the Settle and Carlisle line, from Skipton to Carlisle, during the transition from steam to diesel power. Choose from 10 locomotive types and a range of rolling stock, then run services across the wild, remote Pennine moors while keeping to schedule.

The route and services

The route includes prototypical topography, track plans, gradients, stations, signal boxes and signal placement, viaducts and tunnels. Sessions cover Anglo-Scottish expresses, local stopping trains, fast freights, heavy mineral trains, slow pickup goods and trip workings.

Semaphore signals use new logic, and water troughs let you replenish a tender while moving. Some diesel locomotives have AWS (Automatic Warning System), which gives advance indications of signals.

Locomotives

Steam locomotives for the steeply graded route include the Britannia and A3 Pacifics, the LMS 8F 2-8-0 and the BR 9F 2-10-0. The LMS 4F 0-6-0 is available for lighter trains, while the LMS 3F and L&Y 2F 0-6-0 tank engines can be used for shunting. Each of these locomotives has a choice of running numbers and adjustable headlamp codes.

Diesel options include the large Class 40 (Whistler), the versatile Class 37 and the smaller Class 24 for lighter duties.

Rolling stock

The trains can use a new range of Mk1 coaches and goods vehicles, including 4- and 6-wheel tankers, anhydrite hopper wagons and Presflo wagons for powder loads. Other goods stock includes vans, open wagons, flat tops and brake vans.
