Description
Preserved modification of the Heathfield Branch of the Riviera Line.

This route is a fictional depiction of what the 5-mile branch from Newton Abbot to Heathfield would look like if it were to be preserved.

The route is ideal for small sized locomotives or diesel multiple units and the platforms can cater for up to 3 carriages.

This route has a number of modifications to the original line supplied with DTG's 'Riviera line':
-New shed facilities at Heathfield along with coal, diesel and water points.
-New sidings at Heathfield and Newton Abbot.
-Redeveloped platforms at Heathfield and Newton Abbot for trains running along the line.
-Addition of 3 intermediate stations complete with platform detailing.
-New Signalling at Heathfield and revised speed limits along the route.
-Passing loop constructed at Newton Abbot allowing for up to 3 carriages.
-Improved lineside detail along the route.
-Quick drives added from either end of the route.

Requirements:
-Riviera Line: Exeter to Paignton Route
-European Loco & Asset Pack

Enjoy!

Here is a list of all the workshop scenarios for the route.

@mumrar9009 just searched it, plans discussed about a year ago for reopening the branch as a preserved railway. I'm surprised not sooner, given the line has most of the infrastructure intact (platforms, rails etc.) would be perfect for a small prairie and an autocoach leased from another preserved railway, plus interchanging with a busy mainline station gives it so much potential. Just hope these plans make it into motion.

It's nice to see a route like this and give preservationists the idea about doing such a project

Thanks Girmek :) Its always nice to hear kind comments such as yours. I like to aim to include a high level of detail in my routes, and to hear others think so is very encouraging towards my work. Wish you the best in 2017 :)

This is a route to really enjoy. Here we have an author who has put in a good deal of effort to ensure high standards of quality and a great atmosphere.
Let me tell you, AirbourneAlex does not cut corners, only the best will do.

There are so many maps on the Workshop that are like kids glorified train sets with floating assets and odd signalling. This is not one of them!

AirbourneAlex, you can be justifiably proud of this work. Well done.

I mean one that uses the assets of riviera in the 50s and not the other one

Possibly in the future, however it would require a lot of time to remodel Newton Abbot to its present day version which I rather spend finishing other projects. So maybe, but not in the short term, sorry. If you mean using rivera in the 50s' assets e.g. Teingrace Halt or Heathfield Station in a duplicate of this route I'm sure that could be done sometime :)

can you make a version that uses riviera in the 50s?

@the_darkside_otm: The Heathfield line is still open and complete in the 1950s line.
