The Tewkesbury Heritage Railway – Preservation
|
Description:
The Tewkesbury Heritage Railway runs for a distance of around 2 miles along the trackbed of the old Birmingham and Gloucester Tewkesbury Branch, and a small section of the Tewkesbury and Malvern railway from the mainline at Ashchurch, to Tewkesbury. The last passenger train along the line ran in 1961 (through services to Great Malvern stopped in 1952), and in 1962, the Tewkesbury Railway Preservation Society (TRPS) bought the already closed quay branch and an Ex-GW 8750, No. 9635 to run on it. The Society ran trains between the quay at Healings Mill and Tewkesbury Town station for two years until 1964 when BR closed the rest of the line to freight. The Dowty Preservation Society took over the section from Ashchurch to Tewkesbury until they moved to Toddington in the 1980s, when they sold the section they owned to the TRPS who then have been running the line ever since. Scenarios:
The route comes with Quick Drive scenarios, and there is also a Free Roam scenario for your exploration pleasure! This route has been left as blank a slate as possible to allow for whatever operations you can think of on this fictional route. Note: the longest possible train for the passing loop at Tewkesbury Quay is a Black 5 with 3 MK1s. |
