Description:
You will find a rich history of modernization and improvement on the Woodhead Electric Railway — see for yourself how advances in electricity and route design have breathed new life into the struggling operation. From the early days of this route, steep and hard gradients combined with heavy coal trains created difficulties for steam locomotives, so back in the days of the GCR, discussions of electrification began... The words were turned into actions by the LNR in 1936, which planned the electrification of the line between Sheffield and Manchester, including a branch to Wat, and even installed most of the overhead poles before the outbreak of World War II. Although the conflict suspended the project, it was resumed as soon as the war ended, however, one big change was added to the plan. To cross the Pennines, the Woodhead Line cut through the landscape with tunnels up to 3 miles long during construction. The Woodhead 1 single-track tunnel was originally opened in 1845, which was one of the longest in the world, soon followed by Woodhead 2, another single-track tunnel through the Pennines. Closed and damaged due to years of use by steam locomotives, it was decided that the electrified line would run through Woodhead 3, a new double-track tunnel that could include wires. A small fleet of 8 BR Class 506 electric trains was built for passenger transport — these 3-car units operated between Hadfield, Glossop and Manchester throughout their working lives. The 506 was quite unique, along with the 76 and the Woodhead line itself, as they were electrified to 1,500 V DC instead of the usual 25 kV AC, this other electrification made it easier for heavy trains to use regenerative braking on relentlessly steep descents. Despite upgrades and a new fleet, the Woodhead line was closed to passenger traffic in 1970, which caused controversy as the Hope Valley line was much more convenient, albeit less direct. The Woodhead Electric Railway in Blue captures the route as it was in its final years and, in addition, covers additional distances such as the branch line to Glossop and the Reddish Depot. If that wasn´t enough, the included traction facilities; Class 08, Class 76, and Class 506, will be equipped with a Pro Range feature for those who like additional challenges. Get famous in a piece of railway history and experience the improvements that have given a brief second life to a truly wonderful route! *Included scenarios* A wide range of scenarios gives you the opportunity to explore the entire route!
