The combined package comes with a set of scenarios for both the Isle of Wight and the Class 66 and is set to broaden the appeal of Rail Simulator even further!

Customer Reviews

A welcome addition to Rail Simulator
This is probably one of the better add ons for Rail Simulator. The existing Isle of Wight railway of today has been recaptured very well. The scenery is very good, specially from Ryde St Johns to Ryde pier head. There is a good mix of activities for both the steam railway and the national network. The stock included has been well modelled though i cant help but feel a second steam loco should have been included, to make the steam railway based activities more interesting. New sounds have been created for the models and all give a realistic feeling.
The class 66 add on wasn't one that i would have bought on it's own. Purely because im not a modern train enthusiast. Having said that, i will happily use the diesel locos included. Firstly the models and sounds are to a very high standard and there are quite a few different liveried versions of the model. The activities are good too though some are slightly unrealistic, such as the couple using the foreign route, and the one on the Somerset & Dorset route. This add on is well worth purchasing and as it says on the box "There's something on this add on for everyone"

great product
a very quick delivery install was very easy works on xp and vista need a half decent graphics card to run smoothly.
