Description:

A part of the old Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway in southern England. This local train is hauled by a steam engine and goes from Shillingstone to Templecombe (south of Bristol). The correct engine for this train is a Bullied Pacific class West Country steam engine, but in lack of such an engine a class J36 steam engine is used. The railroad, stations and the beautiful landscape is well done. The simulation intends to replicate as the route looked like in the 1960s. The traffic at this and some other lines ended March 7 1966 after have being trafficed since August 31 1863.

Misc.:

It is not possible to adhere to the time table in this simulation:

The engine class J36 used is a steam engin for freight trains from the 19th century with a maximum allowed speed of 48 km/h.

The time table is based on use of the Bullied Pacific class West Country steam engine. The engine class was built in the 1950s for express trains and had a maximum allowable speed of probably, at least, 150 km/h. At the simulated route, passenger trains were hauled by that angine class in speeds up to 90 km/h. However, no class West Country engine is available for BVE.
