(12 days of scenarios 2024 – day 2) A Chrismas Magical Mystery Tour
14th December 2024I feel incredibly honoured to be asked to take part in the great 12 Days of Scenarios series from Jake Robertson (Robbo13). This is the fifth anniversary of the series and 12 different scenario creators have been asked to release a scenario leading up to the big day. I hope that you enjoy them all.
My scenario uses the excellent workshop route South London and Thameslink and uses the DTG class 73 as, unfortunately, the MKS class 73 wasn´t man enough for the job. I have included the manual for the DTG class 73 just so that it is handy if you need it 🙂
Introduction
Thank you for downloading this scenario. I hope that you enjoy it and find it fulfilling. All services are taken from the correct working timetables of the period and in some cases running to time might not yield the best reward.
Requirements
The scenario works best with the 64-bit version of Train Simulator (32-bit is untested). As well as needing the South London and Thameslink merge route from the Steam Workshop you will also need the following DLC:
