Jump into Train Sim World 3 with the standalone UK Birmingham Starter Pack, featuring the Training Center route as well as Birmingham Cross-City: Lichfield – Bromsgrove & Redditch. No previous Train Sim World purchases are required and players of Train Sim World 2 can continue with their favourite routes as Train Sim World Compatible content! Those with Train Sim World 2: Southeastern Highspeed will also gain free access to Southeastern Highspeed – Extended by upgrading to Train Sim World 3 via the UK Birmingham Starter Pack. Similarly, Train Sim World 2 players with Spirit of Steam will receive an updated version of the route for free with additional weather and lighting features.
Those Train Sim World 3 features, including dynamic weather and volumetric skies, bring the area around Britain’s second city to life, along with the inclusion of local landmarks. Bournville showcases some unique station elements found at the home of the Cadbury’s Chocolate Factory and the newly refurbished University Station (the only dedicated station for a University in Britain) is fully recreated, despite the fact that it has yet to be completed! There are also three sets of locally-themed collectibles to hunt down – can you find them all?
The Class 323 arrives into Train Sim World 3 in West Midlands Railway livery and its distinctive traction motor sounds. Players can take a seat in the cab and head into the Training Center to get up to speed with the controls, or dive straight into the route and the dense commuter timetable between all 25 stations. There’s also a host of additional services for those with Train Sim World Compatible content, including the recently released RHTT ‘Railhead Treatment Train’.
