To run the Northern line smoothly, you must first have the core simulator installed on your PC.
Contains the tracks, stations, scenery, and signaling logic (usually a .zip or .7z file containing Railway folders).
: Ensure you place the route files in your LegacyContent\Railway\Route folder and the train files in LegacyContent\Train to ensure everything loads correctly in the OpenBVE main menu.
Hold the safety key (usually Spacebar) down while driving to prevent emergency brake interventions.
Before you can drive the Northern Line, you need the simulator itself. While the old trainsimframework.org is no longer active, the project has moved. Here’s how to get the latest version.
: Look for "Refurbished" versions that include updated destination boards and authentic interior views.
