…and that’s it for this scenario. My other creations can be found here.
Anyway, enjoy! 🙂
Hullow MrDreamliner, I had a similar issue to Alan on Twitch last night that I got routed into Ipswich P3 and not P4 becuse the signal let me through on Amber outside the tunnel. Reveresd back up to that signal & once the 170 had left from P4 the points changed allowing access to that platform. Not a massive issue as resolved it but just to make you aware ta… Enjoyed the run 🙂 Ben
Great scenario, Thank you.
Thanks for the help, all okay now went back through tunnel and came back and hit a bit harder and it connected hooray! Cheers,
thank you.i have reinstalled the class 321 livery pack from ap.but train still says download from ap.thx
all sorted now.enoiyed that very much.thank you
Thank you for the scenario. Small problem I cannot couple back on to 86232 at Ipswich P4, tried several times to go back and no connection. Please advise.
Hi Aaron,
After you have performed the reversing manoeuvre at Ipswich, there should a message prompt that asks you to CTRL TAB the signal guarding the entrance to the platforms. You should be able to pass it and couple up that way.
Cheers
