My favourite add on for TS 2012 23
For me, this is an enjoyable add on living as I do less than a mile from a limestone quarry who's line was cut in the 1980s and has recently been reopened for preservation use. I like small diesel shunters (enable gear view!!!) and small yard activities. I got this at Christmas as part of the Steam promotion. I am not in to making up scenarios so would be good to see Oovee create a few more activities.

Hatchet Hill 8
At first , looking at the pictures, the Hatchet Hill would not be very good but since buying it I know that I was completely wrong, the class 04 and the route go great together and as I would expect from Oovee the class 04 loco is amazing! All that I would say needs improving is the realism and detail of the route but all in all a great buy!

In a word: Great idea although unpolished 6
I was extremely looking forward to the release of this route, although I must say the price is a bit dear for what you receive. None of the scenarios are completable (many others have this problem), the 04 shunter can't reach the speeds it supposed to and the over-all quality of the route and it's surroundings is very low considering the short length of track, I expected more. I personally wouldn't recommend this - it feels rushed and incomplete, the price reflects an entirely different product in my opinion aswell.
