After a month or so of delays, I've finally gotten round to finishing a releasing this scenario for you all to play in your spare time.

The premise if simple:

A Black Five 4-6-0 has been struggling with a boat train. A pilot engine in the shape of an LMS Compound 4-4-0 has been attached at Dumfries for the rest of the trip down to Carlisle. Things could only get better...Right?

Scenario Update: 20/01/2014

Sadly, I haven't been working on the Scenario with the Compound. This was due to quite a number of reasons:
2 trains passing near Racks.
  1. The first being work experience (hopefully, I'll get into full employment this year)
  2. Secondly, I recently got Payday 2 gifted to me during the Steam Sale. Its a fantastic game to play (make sure you have Skype and 3 friends to play with)
  3. Finally, I moved the computer to my room. This will allow my Family to enjoy watching the television in peace.
But there has been some progress, notably with a change of rolling stock. The DT/AP BR MK1's being replaced with Making Tracks/Matrix Trains great LMS Period 3 Coaches.
Blood and Custard LMS P3 Coaches replace the BR MK1's. In with the old, out with the new.

I noticed that when you move seats in the Period 3's, the camera goes to track level. Error or something else, you decide. But overall, these a great coaches that go well with steam era routes. If you want to try them before buying, there's a free FK coach on UKTrainSim you can download.

Look, I'm a Diglett!!!!!!!
After minor tests with AI Stock, all that's needed is the static stock adding (Kingmoor Yard didn't exist during the period this scenario is set in, makes my life easier). I'll try to get this done this month, but that's if nothing gets in my way.

Til then, catch y'all later.

Scenario Update: 20/11/2013

Since TS2014 was released, I've been mainly been taking a break from Train Simulator to play a couple of other games (Grand Theft Auto 5 and Pokemon Y). Now I've decided to return to Train Simulator to do a few more scenarios. Beginning with this one set on The Western Lines of Scotland.
When in doubt, get a Compound.
The story of this scenario is simple. An LMS Black Five has been struggling with a boat train from Stranrear. So at Dumfries it is decided to add a pilot engine to the train, the pilot being an LMS Compound 4-4-0. The Compound is available from Digital Traction whilst the route is available from Steam.
Setting it all up.
This scenario might sound simple, but I've decided to add a little obstacle to the proceedings. This in the shape of a slow moving coal train with a WD 2-10-0 (a freeware model from UKTrainSim) at the head. This will be a minor obstacle between Eastriggs and Gretna where it will be put into a loop to let you through.
Thanks for slowing me down.................idiot.
All that's needed to be done is the adding of AI trains, testing of the scenario and the rolling stock in the sidings, then it shall be released for you lot to enjoy (thats if the snow does'nt get you all first)
Making sure that the train does not sneak off with the coal.
Til then, catch y'all later.
