Hi, and thank you for downloading this 90 minute scenario for the fantastic West Coast Main Line Midlands and North West route, phase 4.
To install, simply copy the enclosed ‘Content’ folder to your Railworks folder. This is a ‘Standard’ scenario, and is named “[MJC] 1Z47 0601 Crewe – Cardiff Central ‘The Welsh Whistler’”.

This scenario is intended for use with the Signal Enhancement Pack and Sky & Weather Enhancement Pack V2.0 from Armstrong Powerhouse.

Update log: v1.1 due to erroneous reskin in initial release, v1.2 due to third party reskin affecting default chocolate & cream mark 1 TSO.

Summary
On a crisp February morning, drive this class 40-hauled railtour between Birmingham and Stoke as it makes pick-ups for a trip along the Welsh Marches to Cardiff. Year: 2006
The first leg from Crewe was effectively the ECS, but available to passengers for additional mileage and thrash. This circuitous route will now take you to Stoke calling at Stafford, and the scenario will end in the Kidsgrove area. The tour will then continue via Manchester, Chester, and the Welsh Marches to Cardiff.
During this timetable period the Trent Valley route is closed for engineering works, resulting in West Coast services diverting via Bescot.

Please *DO NOT* press the ‘TAB’ key at any time during the scenario, as this may affect the way that signals have been set using the Signal Enhancement Pack.
