ABOUT THIS GAME

Rediscover the Maerdy Branch with Train Simulator: Return to Maerdy Loco Add-On

Train Simulator: Return to Maerdy Loco Add-On revives a significant piece of railway history, appealing to serious train simulation enthusiasts. This PC-exclusive add-on expands the original Maerdy route, featuring meticulously crafted locomotives. It’s not just about nostalgia; it’s about mastering complex locomotives like the English Electric Type 3B and the WD Hunslet ‘Austerity’.

Historical Context Behind the Maerdy Railway

The real Maerdy branch operated in South Wales, connecting Porth to Maerdy Colliery and once serving both passenger and freight services. Originally owned by the Taff Vale Railway, it transitioned to the Great Western Railway in 1923, mainly catering to coal transport. The line’s passenger service succumbed to the Beeching cuts in 1964, reducing it to freight operations until the track was lifted in 1987.
