Train Simulator: Return to Maerdy Loco Add-On - Experience Historic Welsh Coal Railways!

Relive the golden age of steam and electric rail with the Train Simulator: Return to Maerdy Loco Add-On! Following in the footsteps of the popular ‘Memories of Maerdy’, this DLC brings you deep into the heart of the South Wales coalfields, allowing you to drive classic locomotives on a meticulously recreated historic route.

Explore the Maerdy branch line, which once ran from Porth to Maerdy Colliery along the River Rhondda. Originally part of the Taff Vale Railway and later the Great Western Railway, this line was crucial for coal mining freight and even hosted passenger services until the Beeching cuts. Now, in Train Simulator, you can experience hauling coal and managing passenger runs on this iconic route.

Unique Locomotives Await

This add-on features two exceptional locomotives:

The rare English Electric Type 3B Battery Locomotive: These unique electric locomotives, built between 1921 and 1951, are a fascinating piece of railway history. Adaptable in voltage, power, and weight, each Type 3B was practically unique. Whether powered by batteries or overhead wires, experience the innovation of early electric rail in Train Simulator.

The robust WD Hunslet 'Austerity' 0-6-0ST Steam Locomotive: A workhorse of wartime and post-war industry, the 'Austerity' was designed by R.A. Riddles for the War Department and later heavily used by the NCB.
