A big thank you to Robbo13 for inviting me to be part of his annual ‘12 Days of Scenarios’ tradition on ATS, which is back again for its 6th year! 

 

Join 43055 & 049 at Crewe to work the next leg of the ‘Edinburgh Christmas Pullman’ from Cardiff Central, which you’ll be driving as far as Preston. This is a low-priority working, so anticipate a few adverse signals along the way to give precedence for timetabled services. You are booked for 110mph max.

This scenario has also been designed and tested with the AP Sky & Weather Enhancement Pack 2.0, AP Cloud Enhancement Pack and ChiefJack’s AP Sky Accurate Time of Day patch in-mind. Having these installed will provide the most accurate clouds/weather and winter lighting conditions as of the date/time the scenario is set. 

 

NOTES:

 

• To mitigate dumps, you must load up the included “(12 Days of Scenarios – Day 11) 1Z43 PRELOAD” standard scenario first, allowing the game to properly load up tiles in the Crewe area. If this still doesn’t work consider lowering your settings.
