Train Sim World 7 Atlantic Coast: Par – Newquay

A new developer joins Train Sim World

Atlantic Coast: Par – Newquay is an upcoming Train Sim World 7 add-on from Brass Can Games, making their Train Sim World debut. The route recreates Cornwall’s Atlantic Coast Line between Par and Newquay — a sun-soaked heritage and commuter railway that carries holidaymakers and locals across the rolling countryside of Cornwall.

The route spans over 20 miles and 7 new stations between the southern and northern coasts of Cornwall. This is a significant addition to Train Sim World’s geographic coverage, introducing players to a part of England not previously featured in the series.

Atlantic Coast Par-Newquay announcement

The Atlantic Coast Line

The Atlantic Coast Line is a real railway in Cornwall running from Par on the main line through Lostwithiel, Bodmin Parkway, and multiple stations to the terminus at Newquay. It is a mixture of commuter traffic for locals and seasonal tourism traffic during the summer months. The line also handles significant freight flows related to the China clay industry, which is a major economic activity in the area.

Brass Can Games describes the route as set in 2026, with signalling upgrades, a passing loop at Tregoss Moor, and the newly constructed second platform at Newquay. This gives the route a contemporary feel while still capturing the charm of Cornwall’s coastal railway.

Traction: Class 150

The BR Class 150 diesel multiple unit is the primary traction for Atlantic Coast: Par – Newquay. The Class 150 is a two-car DMU built by British Leyland in the 1980s for regional passenger services. It is a staple of British regional railroading and is known for its reliable Perkins engines and straightforward mechanical systems.

Key features of the in-game Class 150 include:

• Accurate exterior and interior modelling
• Functional door systems
• Authentic engine sounds
• Multiple operating liveries appropriate to the route
• Two-car formations with coupling capability

The Class 150 is well-matched to the Atlantic Coast Line’s mix of stopping services, coastal running, and seasonal traffic. Players should expect frequent stops, careful door operation, and the kind of patient driving that regional DMU work rewards.

Freight: China clay operations

A notable feature of Atlantic Coast: Par – Newquay is the inclusion of China clay freight operations. The region around St Austell and Par is one of the world’s largest producers of China clay, and this freight traffic has been an important part of the local railway for generations.

The route includes the all-new JIA China Clay wagons for these operations. Players can:

• Haul loaded and empty China clay wagons between the docks at Fowey Harbour and the clay processing areas
• Work the Fowey Branch Line for dedicated freight operations
• See the distinctive white-washed appearance of clay wagons in loaded and empty states

This gives Atlantic Coast a freight dimension not found on all routes, adding operational variety beyond passenger stopping services.

Notable landmarks

The route passes through or near several notable Cornish landmarks. The developers mention that well-known historical landmarks from Cornwall’s rich heritage are still visible across the landscape today. These include:

• The Eden Project (nearby, visible from parts of the line)
• Cornwall’s coastline and coastal stations
• The China clay works around St Austell
• Historic railway structures and bridges

Brass Can Games is clearly aiming to make Atlantic Coast: Par – Newquay a visually distinctive route that captures Cornwall’s unique character.

How it fits Train Sim World 7

Atlantic Coast is a post-launch add-on with no confirmed release date. It is one of several new routes in development and marks Brass Can Games’ debut as a Train Sim World developer. The August 2026 roadmap describes them as bringing “a brand new developer” to the series, with the Atlantic Coast Line being an excellent choice for a debut route given its visual appeal and operational variety.

This route offers a very different experience from the core TSW7 routes:

• More leisurely pace than Yorkshire commuter EMU operations
• Coastal scenery and holiday atmosphere
• Regional DMU driving with frequent stops
• Integrated freight operations with China clay wagons
• A new developer bringing fresh perspective
