Route Name = The Peak Line
Route Author = Renown Repulse Universal
Route Location = Derbyshire, UK
Route Mileage = About 31 miles from Ambergate to Chinley + 5.5 miles Millersdale to Buxton + several other branches.
Route Era = 1950s to early 1960s
Route Source = Renown Repulse Universal, the commercial wing of RRPG, and obtainable on a DVD from here for the current price of £13.99 (July 2013).
Additional files required to be installed = the following are included on the DVD:-
a. XTracks v3.20 and New Roads v4.0 and if not already present, should be installed before the route is added.
b. The DVD also includes the various Microsoft MSTS updates, together with MSTSBin 1.7.051922, which is highly recommended, and should be installed if not already present.
Route Description =
An MSTS route available on DVD as noted above. Most of the information has been obtained from the specified website and the route documentation.
Installation = Unlike most commercial routes, this one doesn't have an installer, but separate folders (ROUTES, SOUND and TRAINS) which are to be copied into the main Train Simulator folder.
Additional activities and relevant stock may be available from the UKTS library.
“The Peak Line covers the Midland main line from Ambergate to Chinley and includes the branch to Buxton (Midland)! This fondly-remembered route closed along much of its length in 1968 but has been painstakingly recreated for this add-on pack. Every major landmark and engineering feature of the line is included and special care has been taken to make the track and sidings layout as accurate as possible for the period c. 1960-1963, when diesel began displacing steam and which is the era this add-on pack seeks to model.
The add-on also depicts the once-thriving limestone industry of this area in some detail.
A large amount of rolling stock and motive power is included in this pack; all of the locomotives and units are driveable and feature realistic physics, sounds and controls and everything is accurate for the line and era.
There are 12 unpacked activities (.act files) and 14 packed activities (.apk) files. Three of the .apk files don't have matching .act files so need to be unpacked by the user. Don't worry that it doesn't add up - one of the .act files doesn't have a matching .apk file!”
