Hawes Junction

Hawes Junction recreates the branch line from Garsdale on the Settle and Carlisle railway to Hawes. The route package included a new LMS 4F, an updated Class 37, many private owner wagons and a large selection of new scenery items. We also introduced several new innovations, most notably a fully working AWS system and working couplers.

This route was included in the release of Trainz Railroad Simulator 2006 and was free for anyone who purchased that. It has since been carried forward in each full release of Trainz and still remains as part of TS2010. The intention in creating and rleasing this route as part of the main Trainz package was both to provide some free content to assist Auran with sales of TRS2006 and at the same time to provide a sample of the content which would be included in our full Skipton-Carlisle route intended for later release as an add-on product.

Trainz Classics 3

This was the full Skipton-Carlisle route that was previewed in the Hawes Junction route in TRS2006. Produced in conjunction with Auran, this was released as part of the Trainz Classics series as a standalone package containing only the route and content for Skipton-Carlisle. for h......standalone, enhancements, content.

In addition to the route and content this release pushed forward the Trainz series by introducing a number of major enhancements to the core game code. These enhancements were a re-working of the sound and smoke effects systems, a major overhaul of the locomotive physics system, and the introduction of a new signalling system implementation. There were also numerous other updates and fixes with this release, all of which are detailed on the support website.

Whilst no longer sold by Auran it can still be purchased through the TC3 support website. This website provides updates and new content to enhance the longevity of the product and support those people who purchased it.

Trainz Simulator 2009: Settle and Carlisle

This is the full Skipton-Carlisle route released in Trainz Classics 3 that has been fully updated to run in TS2009's 'Native' mode. Able to be used as a standalone package or added to the main TS2009 game this release builds on the achievements of TC3 with over 850 updates to the content and a re-work of all the routes and sessions to make use of the new platform.

There is also a service pack available which makes this fully compatible with TS2010 and runs fully in 'Native' mode in that release.

Current and future projects

At the time of writing we are currently involved in the production of a new route and content pack and we will be able to give more details of this when things have progressed a little further. We'll be launching a support website to give all the details and some previews of the content to be included in due course.
