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.

It is very value for money with regards to the number of locomotives you get. All 5 locomotives have been used in past Steam add-ons but I find that two of the locomotives exceed quality of the others. These being Just Trains' Gresley V2 and the RSC Thompson B1, I would also like to mention that despite its age the O4 is also a good addon. The route itself is pretty detailed too. I would like to mention however that scenery is a little sparse in places and could be improved.I would say this add-on deserves 4.5\/5 Stars. 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 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. 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. This is a great route in my opinion well worth buying. I bought this with some doubts but really enjoy it. Great way of testing yourself with steam locos- the GOLDEN RULE for driving starting driving steam is at the bottom of this review. The scenarios are taxing but do-able: never assume the signal two ahead is in your favour. They also have wonderful criss-crossing AI. Very good mix of engines (5 if include LNER V2 2-6-2\/ 1-C-1 AI), and rolling stock. There are flaws: several unmarked speed changes, for local and mrshalling game needs some more reverse point markers, scenery patchy in a few places. It isn't WLoS but who knows what the community might build using it? Maybe an expansion south or north for a longer run.GOLDEN RULE FOR NEW STEAM DRIVERS:- TURN AUTO FIREMAN OFF. YOU WILL FAIL EVERYTHING WITH IT ON. WHAT SEEMS HARDER IS EASIER. 1.\/ Use the standard 'three-slot' HUD. It will show 'boiler pressure' in the third position.; 2.\/ Click on that right hand 'boiler pressure' circle to add more water. Don't let that- or fire mass on the left circle- sink much below or above what it starts on.; 3.\/ Green is usally good for the rght hand 'boiler pressure' circle. If it goes red but the pressue figures are high and there's a hissing sound, don't panic. You're creating excess steam and it's being released for a few seconds; 4.\/ Engines really do start with roughly the best coal level for them. It just varies between types. Try to keep it within a few percentage points either way. Less is bad but more is not better. And then add features as you get more confident. Using small ejector (usually j) to release brakes quicker and opening cylinder cosks (c) when stationary then closing them after a few seconds movement is a good start.
