The line from London to Birmingham is known as the Chiltern Main Line and runs from its London terminus at Marylebone north-west to Birmingham Snow Hill.
Set around 2012-2016, this Quick Drive enabled Train Simulator route is approximately 112 miles in length and features 40 detailed stations, numerous new custom assets, 14 Standard scenarios and two Free Roams.
Also included (courtesy of Matthew Wilson, Vulcan Productions) are a Chiltern livery for the Dovetail Games Class 68 and a Chiltern livery for the Mk.3 Standard Class and Business Zone carriages. These carriages have brand new animated plug doors with functional body-side indicator lights, custom window layouts and 3D window frames for extra detail along with high definition decals for new auto-numbering, accurate fleet running numbers, larger step boards and corner pillars, emergency egress handles, up-scaled textures for higher resolution liveries, and custom script for implementation of the additional detailed items.
