  5. just watched age of the train on iplayer and ive two thoughts stuck in my head now - one: i want a HST model again & two: peter snows layout is my definition of a perfect model railway :)

      He clearly runs what he wants to, i.e. the single ended HST. Looks like a fun layout with some good long stretches.

  6. london - brighton editor fixed! yay roll on the scenarios!

  7. an amendment to my last blog - steam username is thatdamnpostbox rather than lord bickerstaff d'oh!

  8. Like i said shunting is the theme of this one were back on the port road in BR blue and, just like the morning shuffle scenario Kirkcudbright is a hive of activity with oil traffic. you are to assemble a train ready for departure made up of full and empty tanks including a trio of aviation fuel tanks. Moving The Tanks Vehicle: BR Blue 08 + TTA's Route: Port Road Add On Packs Used: Port Road, Up The Junction, Class101 in this scenario you start off in the station complex at Kirkudbright and have to assemble a 14 wagon rake along with a brake van and box van at either end, theres not much traffic apart from a 101 that leaves in the early stages of the scenario and a 37 in the engine shed. once assembled in the right order you stable the 08 in a siding job done! bringing some tanks from the Petroleum plant Passengers are wondering why they cant get on this one behold the rake in all its glory! so Ten scenarios a milestone you could say - as previously mentioned Steam Workshop is coming soon so everything ive blogged will be available to download and ill be able to download other peoples work! 9im hoping someone makes the LTS route) i thought id let you know my steam username - lordbickerstaff - add me if you would like to download any scenarios or even if you just want to play a game or two - just got dirt showdown which is lots of fun! hope to see some of you online - Ash
  9. aha! ive a boxfile free - now then what to do........

  10. i have had a go yes - recently looking into the Cuckoo line, unfortunately the route creator is so complicated i gave up lol. However i am having another go trying to recreate inglenook sidings or similar
  11. yes that is a rather dramatic title! - my ninth scenario sees us back on the WCML but in winter with rather bad weather. its been snowing hard in the area and many turbostar units are struggling, luckily Scotrail have been able to borrow some plough equipped 37's and virgin coach stock to cover some journeys. even stars fall Vehicle: EWS class 37 + 4 virgin MK3 Route: WCML Add On Packs Used: WCML, Settle - Carsile, class 170 starting at Larkhall you are driving all stops two Glasgow central, along the way you will pass little traffic - a couple of turbostars and another 37 on relief work. when you get to newton (and the main line) you are held up by a passing HST but not for long, you get going again and at cambuslang you find out a point on the fast line has failed so it a diversion down the slow lines from here. again traffic is light only a few HST's and a 158 before you pull into Glasgow Central. my next scenario? i dunno i feel like a bit of shunting on another note steam workshop arrives on the 20TH of september so i can upload everything for people to download yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  12. the idea train for railworks scenarios is slowing :( :9 inspiration thats the key!

  13. ive given up on trying to create a route in railworks - its just too bloody hard

  14. my eighth scenario is again based on the portsmouth direct line but sees you driving a BR Blue 33 rather than a MU - based on the Bristol-Portsmouth trains this scenario sees you driving from Cosham to Portsmouth Harbour around the corner Vehicle: BR Blue 33 + 5 MK1's Route: Portsmouth Direct Line Add On Packs Used: Portsmouth direct line + Class 33 + Class 455 + Class 423 (4-VEP) starting at a chilly Cosham you pick up passengers and head to Fratton, along the way you pass several 455's and 423's - the run is fairly simple no drama all you need to do is observe the speed limits and stop at the stations listed the station throat at Portsmouth Harbour unloading Passengers at Portsmouth Harbour
  15. managed to make quick progress on this one! also im quite happy that ive managed to finish making a scenario using a 377 unit (railworks still haven't fixed the bug need to get it done grrrr) anyway in this scenario you drive a 4 car 377 in the pouring rain from warblington to Portsmouth Harbor stopping at all stops along the way. traffic on this route is predominantly Southern 377's and SWT 450's a fairly easy drive of about 20 mins but good fun. all aboard to pompy Vehicle: 4 car 377 Route: Portsmouth Direct Line Add On Packs Used: Portsmouth direct line + London - Brighton Guess Where i am? This is What Happens When you dont use your wipers! i never seen an empty 377 carriage before! a small note: im not sure if warblington station would be built up if other players use this route as when you get this pack its just two platforms - i had to build the station in for my scenario
  16. wow two entries in 1 day well this last scenario was quite quick and easy! This last Scenario in my Port road Series takes place in 2010 using a 2-car 158 The Port Road has seen its popularity rise and fall in the past 60 years - it had started as a simple passenger line to a busy route transporting many workers and gallons of oil. at present it is little more than a branch line served mainly by 2-3 car 158 DMU's, Fortunately a group of enthusiasts managed to gain ownership of the single track line from Kirkcudbright to Castle Douglas turning it into a preserved railway using Kircudbright as a base of operations. the national rail network still serves this line with an hourly service formed of a 2-car 158. Vehicle: Northern Rail 2-Car 158 Route: The Port Road Add On Packs Used: The Port Road, Class 101, Up the junction, 57xx, Hatchet Hill, Settle Carsile your task in this scenario is to drive the 158 all stops from Castle Douglas to Kirkcudbright, as the scenario starts you are kept waiting by a steam special coming off the branch, this is the only other moving train in this scenario from here its a straight run to kirkcudbright and the preserved stock stabled there. meeting a kettle at Douglas the Preserved stock at Kirkcudbright im looking into what i want to do next possibly something on the portmouth line? london-brighton is still playing up so i cant do anything on that front till its fixed
  17. Morning all its been a struggle but ive finally finished my 5th scenario again its on the Port Road line but its a lot longer and there's more stops! i had lots of trouble with the software saying trains would crash and not setting signals right but after a bit of tweaking ive managed to get something together. ive based this scenario on the fact passenger and oil traffic have increased significantly and the railway has now started running 5 car semi fast services aswel as the 3 car shuttles seen in scenario 4 Vehicle: BR Blue/Grey 5 car 101 Route: The Port Road Add On Packs Used: The Port Road, Class 101, Up the junction Starting off at Dumfries you have a slight wait before setting off to Kirkcudbright, whilst loading passenger a 47 on freight passes by and a 5 car 101 pulls into the platform next to you. finally your passengers are on board but there is an issue with the signals! you have to request permission to pass the red light and leave at your booked time of 10:32, as you pull out you are overtaken by a 37 on passenger duties, from here its onwards to Kirkcudbright stopping at Maxwell town, Southwick, Dalbeattie, and castle Douglas. on the way you are passed mostly by 5 car 101's until you get on the approach to Castle Douglas, here you find out that another set of signals have malfunctioned! again you have to request to pass these, which you are granted and once you have collected passengers at Douglas you are the on a single track to Kirkcudbright this last one is just a bit of fun - a little texture loading issue!
  18. nearly finished my 5th scenario! its been a pain

  19. well.. i just got engaged

  21. scenario creation has halted due to ongoing issues with the London-Brighton Editor :(

  22. evening everyone introducing my fourth scenario running on the single track branch from Kirkcudbright to Castle Douglas set in 1958-62. driving one of the two 101's that operate on the branch all stops and running back. i intend to make two moore scenarios in much the same way as this one - its one of my 'scenario series' - a nice simple scenario which will be made much better when railworks update the 101 to take advantage of rain effects (in this run its raining hard) Morning Shuffle Vehicle: BR Green 3 car 101 Route: The Port Road Add On Packs Used: The Port Road + Class 101 + Settle-Carsile You are in charge of a 3 car 101 running all stops from Kirkcudbright to Castle Douglas, where you will switch ends and make the same journey back as you sit in a very wet Kirkcudbright a green 37 is ticking over in the adjacent siding waiting for a clear path to the engine shed. There is little traffic on the line apart from the branches other 101 set which is sitting in a loop waiting for you to pass, as you come to Douglas you are held up by a red signal - a few minutes later a class 47 with 5 maroon MK1's slides by on its way to Stranrear. Having picked up passengers at Douglas you head back in the same direction, again a very traffic free journey it is only when you get to Kirkcudbright you see the Branches other 101 set has moved to a stabling siding and the 37 is now in the shed. you drop off your passengers and stable your unit - time for tea! on the way to Bridge of Dee station next scenario? we will see i need to make some more
  23. Steam Sale! so many add on packs half price - i feel like a kid in some kind of a store!

      I know what you mean. Will be waiting till the morning when the Americans are asleep, and the servers working

  24. Evening all just finished my third scenario ' There and back again' Vehicle: First Scotrail 3 car 170 Route: WCML north Add On Packs Used: Class 31 + HST set + WCML North + Settle - Carsile in this scenario you are in charge of a First Scotrail 170 driving from Glasgow central to Newton, where you have to change ends and run back to Glasgow. - you start off picking up passengers at Glasgow, as you run out of the station you pass another 170 and in the distance the rote 66 tour snakes in, all whilst racing a Grand central HST. As you come up to Polamide depot you will see stabled 158's and pass a few more 170's and an east coast HST, you are then held at a signal just before the turn off to newton to let the GC HST you were beating ahead. Once given the go you proceed to Newton stopping at Cambuslang, at your destination you use the reverse siding to change ends and make the journey back - again stopping at cambuslang. There is a decent amount of traffic on this route both freight and passenger, and i find sometimes you may get held up by yellows on the return trip - but that makes it more fun! Being overtaken by a GC HST Changing Ends at Newton A quick edit: Destination LCD's have been changed from 'not in service' to there respective destinations now next scenario should be Morning Shuffle
