UPDATE LOG:
• PLEASE NOTE: There is a broken consist message at the start of the scenario. I have no idea where said consists is or how it’s even broken. You should be able to hit F2 and cancel and run the scenario as intended. (10/05/2025)
Very nice scenario, Thank you.
“There is a broken consist message at the start of the scenario. I have no idea where said consists is or how it’s even broken”
It’s the northernmost of the two class 319 sets in Cricklewood North Road 3.
Broken consists are dead easy to locate: Scenario editor, timetable view, click on the triangle at the bottom of the right hand pane to bring up the list of errors. At the top of this list will be any broken consists, Clicking on a broken consist’s name in this list will cause the 2D map in the left pane to focus on it’s location. If that’s too vague, hovering your mouse over the list entry will bring up a tool tip type box with the consist’s map co-ordinates in it.
Once you’ve found any broken consists it’s then just a case of grabbing them and putting them back on the track.
I hadn’t know that, thank you!! I’ll remember for future 🙂
Really enjoyed this scenario, a great chance to see what the Valenta HST can do! Loved the Ai variation and nice change of weather too. Top job fella! (Dkentflyer).
