Hi, and welcome to Steamtrains Unlimited Campus.

This site is part of Steamtrains Unlimited and has been set up to take more control of the present guide which is online at steamcommunity > workshop > guides.

Because of the limitations of the whole guide at the steamcomunity transferring is now in process to this site which gives more advantages as well with the same information. There is a lot of work to executre in order to get the whole giude transferred to this location. But it is very nessecary. The limitation prohibits the present guide to expand while many new steam loco’s has arrived. There is simply no space within the present guide to implement more information.

Steamtrains Unlimited is also looking to an expansion of this page as a stand-alone site. Steamtrains Unlimited keeps you infirmed about the progress of this site and further development of the guide itself.

Steamtrains unlimited tries to manintain the same lay-out but will add an distiguished attitude as well.
