On a smaller (some would say more sensible) budget my advice would be to concentrate on one area of the UK that interests you, buy the official routes around that and also look at 3rd party purchases such as Just Trains and Armstrong Powerhouse, the latter sells some impressive upgrades for existing DLC that make the game really immersive. I decided to take a dip last year and was lucky enough to be able to buy about £400 worth of DLC in one hit which provided me with more than enough to get going. If you would like an honest review of any DLC that I own, I'm happy to help. There is a lot more modern/diesel/electric DLC, but there's nothing to stop you running steam specials on those. There are a few others: Falmouth Branch, Woodhead, Corris branch, West Somerset Railway, Somerset & Dorset Railway. Comes with 5 different classes of steam loco plus rolling stock. Reasonably detailed but modest selection of routes around Nottingham mainly focused on freight and local operations. Comes with class 08, 25, 37, 101 plus rolling stock. Mainly a diesel route but can be convincingly operated with steam. Weardale & Diesel Route: Comes with 200 miles of mainline and branch lines. J94/Maerdy Route: Comes with advanced quality J94 and a short but interesting colliery route. Comes with 5 different steam engines and lots of stock. Includes mainline and branch line running. Riviera in the 50's: Medium sized well-detailed route. Comes with a Black 5 and lots of rolling stock. Western Lines of Scotland: Long, excellent route with mainline-running, secondary main line and branch line running. In terms of the Steam Routes that I mentioned here is a brief assessment: Neither of which are entirely your thing as there is no steam included, be also aware that the GWML and PDL are both quite dated routes in the sim. Includes 4 items: Train Simulator, Train Simulator: Great Western Main Line Route Add-On, Train Simulator: Liverpool-Manchester Route Add-On, Train Simulator: Portsmouth Direct Line Route Add-On' In the current incarnation of the base game, you get: 3 modern well-detailed routes, one US, one German, one UK which is the North Wales Coast set in the modern period and comes with 3x modern DMU's. This sim has been going for a long time now and some of the early releases aren't up to todays standards, hence why they are cheaper many of these DLCs are advertised as 'TS Classics.' This sim is a step-up from Trainz in terms of quality and realism, I'm led to believe. The pricing tends to reflect the age and quality. Try only buy in the sales and read the descriptions carefully. The only free content is scenarios and routes available via the Steam Workshop or whatever can be found on UKTS or on reskin sites such as DPsimulation.
