KENT, UK, May 31st 2022 - Dovetail Games today announces the launch of Train Sim World 2: Spirit of Steam: Liverpool Lime Street – Crewe.
Step back in time and discover the soot and sounds of the romantic steam era; climb aboard iconic living locomotives hungry for coal and water, and work hard on busy passenger and freight services through historic Merseyside and Cheshire.
Master the art of steam simulation, the firebox and boiler create the ultimate balancing act to keep these machines alive and powerful. Take on the challenge of the 1950s - with no modern comforts to rely on, the only safety system is your wit! Learn the finesse and rhythm of each locomotive to determine your speed and keep to the timetable.
Immersed in the middle of the British Railways steam era, take control of the famous LMS Jubilee Class locomotive, resplendent in nostalgic BR Brunswick Green livery, adorned with BR’s late crest. Carry passengers on a journey of a lifetime along the West Coast Main Line, over the Runcorn Railway Bridge and right into the heart of Merseyside with this express 4-6-0. Additionally, be in charge the hard-working LMS Stanier 8F Class locomotive, it’s rugged BR Late Black guise and 2-8-0 wheel configuration better suited to hauling lower speed, heavy freight trains.
Choose how you want to play; drive trains, ride around as a passenger or in the guard’s van, complete the route tasks, or simply pick a vantage point and watch the action unfold. Create your own experiences with the Scenario Planner and Livery Designer and share them with Creators Club. Whatever you choose to do, there's lots to see and experience in Train Sim World 2: Spirit of Steam.
