West Somerset Railway coming soon On Steam?

Anyone who has been looking at RailSimulator.com's page on Facebook in the past few days will have noticed two pictures posted with the line "Coming soon to Train Simulator....actually you tell us. Where do you think this is? Find out on Sunday only here on Facebook." The first one is not so obvious although a brief look at comments showed some correct guesses nonetheless.

It seems almost definatley to be the West Somerset Railway. The second picture was obvious for anyone who's ever been on the railway (comparison below) and if you're still doubtful Steam achievements for Train Simulator 2014 referring to the WSR were leaked yesterday. The West Somerset Railway is the longest preserved line in the UK and will be the first one from RailSimulator.com in a long time.

All this is very interesting but just as interesting a few months ago the WSR was announced as TAA Developments (the creators of the Mid Hants Railway for Railworks)  next route, meaning they have probably partnered with RSC. They are currently working on the GWR Large Prairie and the South Western Mainline meaning it is quite probable these will be released on Steam.
