About This Content Packed with both character and atmosphere, China Clay for Export is set in one of the most picturesque counties of England and offers a very intensive and interesting railway experience.The extraction of China Clay in Cornwall dates back to the 18th Century and remains a valuable resource to this day. The chosen route encompasses parts of three different railway lines.Par to Bugle is a section of the historic former Cornwall Mineral Railway, which has become known locally as the 'Atlantic coast line' - and terminates in Newquay. The Great Western Mainline between Lostwithiel and Par carries London to Penzance, via Bristol, passenger services as well as a wealth of china clay traffic.One of the most scenic freight only lines in Britain has to be the journey from Lostwithiel to Fowey Docks (Carne Point). Clay from many different parts of Cornwall and Devon is carried by rail to Fowey where it is loaded on to waiting ships from all parts of the globe.This is your chance to sign-on at St Blazey Depot; jump aboard your locomotive for the day and head off to Rocks Dryers to pick up a train of china clay. Can you manage to get this heavy train to Carne Point and return with empties whilst observing all speed limits, along the steep gradients and twisting lines?The China Clay for Export route has been significantly upgraded by Creative Rail for its release on Steam, including improvements to scenarios, Quick Drive functionality, new Treffry Viaduct modelled from scratch, improved platform models, and rain occlusions added to bridges, tunnels and rock dryers.ScenariosSeven scenarios for the route:Local StopperChange of PlanTavistock Mixed ClayThe Dark Evenings Are Drawing InOut With The OldBlazing a TrailEarly Mornings at RocksMore scenarios are available on Steam Workshop online and in-game.

It is too short, simplistic and poorly made with clunky unrealistic scenery. The stations, signal and other unique assets are low quality and make even the stock assets look reasonable. It looks as if it was thrown together in a month and released before it reached a reasonable length with at least Newquay, Burngullow and Bodmin Road included. I have seen far better freeware routes. On the plus side it's an area I know and has enough of a passing resemblance to be mildly distracting... for a few hours at most.. While the prospect of this was good, the execution is lacking. The detail is poor compared to what it could've been, and the scenarios are broken. No matter what I do, I can't complete "out with the old" successfully. The lighting is a bit plain and doesn't have the same atmosphere as other routes. Okay a review, firstly there are those that complain (wrongly or rightly) about the full price of a 'normal' route, that being \u00a324.99, and of course it depends on how big\/how complex\/how detailed those routes are. The recent Teesdale route is a good example, a decent sized route with good complexity and nice scenery, so the price tag could be justified, However, when developers start to produce routes like China Clay, which are mainly very small, and used primarily for shunting etc. I think that \u00a315 is perhaps only justified if the detail on the route itself is pretty enough to generate longevity in what may quickly become boring. In this case I can't honestly say that this applies here. As much as I want to enjoy this route there are some major flaws, and not just in the route itself, but also the scenarios. The detail on the route is okay, but lacks 3D trees to give it depth and detail, and the distant scenery isn't wonderful. The night lighting is extremely sparse and needs work which leads me onto the scenarios, or two in particular; Tavistock mixed clay, and the dark evenings are drawing in. It is virtually impossible to see anything out of the cab on both these scenarios (and given the lack of decent exterior lights on the BR loco), which renders the scenario utterly dull and pointless. Some buildings such as the loco shed only have exterior graphics and are not fully rendered in 3D, so on one scenario (I think it's 'blazing a trail'), you literally have to drive the wagons into a non interior rendered building, very poor indeed.To sum up, it needs a bit of extra attention to bring this up to scratch, or reduce the price. For \u00a310 more you could get the wonderfullly detailed Western Lines Of Scotland,far far superior. A shame really.. While the prospect of this was good, the execution is lacking.
