Thank you to Dovetail Games for allowing us to review this superb route and sending us a copy.Available as: Digital and Physical I Like Trains (It's A Reference, I Personally Don't Care For Them) Want to see the route in action? Make sure to follow the RailAdvent Twitch channel to see when I go live streaming the route: /railadvent You don’t need any other assets or routes for Spirit of Steam Route to work, just Train Sim World 2 itself – so I’d recommend you get this route and add it to your collection.

We have been waiting for steam to come to TSW2 – which brings its own benefits above Train Simulator Classic – we loved playing with this route and cannot wait to see where Steam in TSW goes next. Rounding off this review with three words. Jubilee in Train Sim World 2 // Credit: RailAdventįinally – it’s a shame that the yards and scenarios don’t seem busy enough for a steam route, yards can be empty and you don’t see many AI trains at all – but perhaps this is to do with being also available PlayStation and Xbox. There are other things that we have found, and backs up the “not finished” feel, such as the lack of coal on the fireman’s shovel – however again, this is updatable and is a well-known issue. Whilst there are a few points that make you feel like the route isn’t finished, such as the apparent lack of scenery in some places, I hope that the route will be updated in the future and other steam routes will follow if this is a success.

What’s great to see is the community really getting behind this DLC – with lots of free re-skins already appearing for the locomotives. It’s nice to see a variety of locos modelled, so you don’t end up driving the same specific loco, each Jubilee also comes with its own nameplate. Jubilee in Train Sim World 2 // Credit: RailAdvent I’d put it in the sweet spot when it comes to difficulty, not so simply it’s boring, but not too difficult that you spend 30 minutes trying to release the brakes. It’s great to get the train up to speed and then sit and watch the loco and wagons roll past with the well known ‘clickety clack’ noise.

The most recent update brings a major downside to a plus.
So – what is this brand new route, simulation and locos like to drive? Well – simply stunning. Both the 8F and Jubilee have different characteristics when it comes to driving so will keep you entertained for hours. We have reviewed a number of TSW routes, with the Isle of Wight and Arosa Line routes only having one train to drive – thankfully Spirit of Steam doesn’t fall into this category.

You get a decent chuff if the loco is working hard, but i would have liked a few more whistle modes, seems very high pitched and a little boring with just one mode. Moving onto the audio side of things, custom sounds have been brought to the game for the Jubilee and 8F.

On release day, there was a lack of track joint sounds throughout the entire route, but Dovetail Games has since released a patch which now brings track joint sounds to the route. Whilst detailed, the route remains playable, with a good 40-60fps throughout our time playing this game in a number of scenarios.ĭetail on the route is good for most of the route, unfortunately there are a few sections where line-side vegetation just disappears (bushes, fences etc) – I would love to see a few more line-side assets added to push the authentic feel – thankfully – you are busy most of the time keeping your speed up that you may miss the empty spaces.
15 stations feature in the route, with a variety of junctions, viaducts, yards to keep you entertained on the drive.
