The Storm Coast Network V1

Description

This route is a network of LNER lines spread out over a fictional landmass off the Norfolk coast.
Set in 1934, SCN covers a network of scattered companies that eventually became part of the LNER in 1923. As such the types of services seen are widely varied. Fast and heavy expresses tend to terminate in the centre of the map, but only short and light trains visit the far corners of the different branch-lines, with many strict weight restrictions on these.
However, heavy stone and mineral trains tend to be seen on the south portion of the route as the Boer Quarry continues trading.

There's a shade under 70 route miles covered here. Divided between the main 39 mile northeast - southwest corridor between Lorne and Eastweald Forest, The 8 mile branch to Marysville, the 11 mile branch to Witch's End. A 3 mile branch between Heartgrove and Stratholm. A 1 mile spur up to the Boer Quarry from Rosanna, and a 3 mile spur from Cormont to an army base/prison/research facility.
(Included is a manual that goes into way more detail about the fictional history and lore of the whole place. The manual also explains the route requirements much better than what I can list on the site here).

With the exception of the latter which remains owned by the government, The route is firmly in LNER territory, and as such, motive power is dominated by said company.

There's space for slow goods, local passengers, expresses, whatever you want really. I devised this route intending for there to be a little bit of everything in it. There are no quickdrives or scenarios (becuase I really suck at scenario-building) but there are some blank free roams to check out. Feel free to do largely whatever you want with scenarios.

This first version is the core of the route (and includes all the lines I mentioned above) but I forsee there being about 3 or 4 extensions to come in the future.

This is the first time I've ever released anything for train sim, so I don't really know what the right way to release it is (as in, to make it an rwp file or as an assets and content folder and all that kinda stuff).

Requirements

Beware, there are many. In Descending order of importance: (note, the manual has links to the freeware requirements)
