Cracking scenario! Possibly my favourite Western Mainlines scenario so far, great job
Just downloaded a fresh copy of the route but get a mass of errors at the start, missing markers etc, plus the train wouldn’t move after I F2’d past to check even though the wires are there and the 387 works elsewhere, and I do have all the requirements have had the route for ages and it always worked fine, bit of a mystery why it won’t work.
Sorry, my mistake, somehow the tracks.bin file for the route got deleted throwing it out of whack. Got everything fixed and it all ran fine. very nice scenario too, well done.
Any plans to make a return journey? I’d love to see it as this is my local route
I’ve got one to Reading in the works, I may do one to Didcot at some point but Western Mainlines is a very difficult route to work with because it has so many botched signals.
Couple of things I’ve noticed from the requirements that made the install more painful than it needed to be – the ‘FGW SEA’ reskin from BH Reskins is required but not listed and the Heathrow Connect is not MJW it’s the Superalbs one.
Sorry about the Heathrow Connect mixup, I have about 4 different versions and I didn’t list the right one. Not sure how the BHReskins FGW SEA got in there because I definitely didn’t use that power car, guess it must be a requirement for the 90 years one, but thank you for figuring it out and letting us know.
The track isn’t electrified as far as Didcot. The train can’t actually move lol
Try downloading the newest version of the route. https://alanthomsonsim.com/downloads/western-mainlines-electrification-project-stage-1/ The name is literally V1.5 to Didcot.
Yes I’ve had that version of the Electrification project route installed since last year but the track isn’t electrified. Yours is?
Mine is, works great. Great scenario mate
Mine is. Works sound as a pound. Great scenario
Mine is electrified to Didcot West Junction, if yours isn’t I’d suggest reinstalling the route and/or the OHLE pack. Failing that leave a comment on the route page and that creator may be able to help you.
