So i've returned to The Woodhead Route to look at more possibilities for scenarios. I need a better sign off line, this one sounds cheesy as hell.Īfter a few weeks away from Train Simulator, Its time to work on a new scenario for this simulator (or game if you want to call it that). The 1970's Woodhead Route Scenario is currently in development hell (I think that's what its called), but I shall return to it in the near future.īut for this scenario, the AI stock needs to be completed and final tests need to be done (Unless Payday 2, Duke Nukem 3D and Chivalry get in the way) There is still a lot more to be done, this is just me pointing out that I am still working on this scenario. Thanks for the brilliant wagons Meshtools. This combined with the book 'EM1 & EM2: An Illustrated Historical Review of the Manchester, Sheffield, Wath Electric Locomotive - 76's & 77's' have allowed me to attempt to recreate formations of freight trains during this period. So instead of mainly 16T Wagons, we have those, 21.5T Wagons and 24T Wagons. This is made up of assorted wagons such as the recently released Meshtools Mineral Wagons (Available for £2.99 from Steam). This includes a train of mineral wagon empties on the goods line just past Valehouse Signal-box. I have also started to add some electric traction into this activity. Miserable weather in industrial Manchester I wanted to add a little bit of Midland Region motive power into this activity. The Radial Tank has been replaced with an LMS Ivatt 2MT 2-6-0 (going in the direction of Altrincham) and the O4 2-8-0 replaced with an LMS Crab 2-6-0.
But I have decided to replace them with 2 different locomotives.
Originally I was going to have a GCR O4 2-8-0 and a LYR Class 5 2-4-2T appear at the start of the scenario. As well as a couple of AI trains added into the activity. This scenario has undergone a few big changes, mainly in terms of motive power on some of the trains that will appear in this scenario. Its been a while (actually a few weeks since my last update).
