St Andrew Railway Stories

Welcome to the St Andrew Railway!

Here, you can read made-up stories of a heritage railway based near Edinburgh, Scotland where junctions with the East Coast Mainline (ECML). These are the stories about the trials and tribulations our main character Gough will be talking about. Enjoy!

History of the idea:

The St Andrew Railway was an idea lurking in my head since late-2021 (so, fairly new) as I was inspired by The Dark Railway Series (TDRS) by Thomas Dibden a.k.a. Dark DJ Productions of having my own railway with a fleet of engines that I quite like. So, the St Andrew Railway was created as a route on Trainz Railroad Simulator 2019. It first started out as a junction statin with a little shed that housed a J36 and a C15. Later, it became a much larger station with two branchlines, a yard and a colliery. But then, I lost interest in it as school got in the way and the route looked terrible. But, in March of this year, I installed a route called "Branthorpe and Killerdale Railway". I liked this route and I even started driving my own roster from the St Andrew Railway. And soon, I have decided that this will be the ideal St Andrew Railway! And rest, as they say, is history. I have already made a full history and roster, but that will be discussed in what I'll like to call "St Andrew Histories". And that's about it. I hope you'll like the stories, cheers!
