1Z53 1000 Glasgow Central to London Euston – Class 390!
2nd January 2021With the release of the WCML Midlands and Northwest Phase 3, it is now possible to make through scenarios from Glasgow to Euston either via Trent Valley or Birmingham. In regards with the Trent Valley, this can be difficult in the normal timetable as services usually do not stop anywhere between London and Warrungton with limited exeptions. However over the festive period, Avanti West Coast provided additional services to Glasgow from London and a few of these stopped at Rugby, Stafford and Preston, what was required to make a good 4 part scenario. So here it is;
Part 1 is Glasgow to Preston on the WCML North West and Scotland
Part 2 is Preston to Stafford on the WCML Midlands and North West
Part 3 is Rugby to Stafford on the WCML Trent Valley
Part 4 is Rugby to Euston on the WCML South
The service is the 1000 additional service from Glasgow to Euston based on the 29th December whith RTT link here – https://www.realtimetrains.co.uk/train/S40747/2020-12-29/detailed
All AI are done to as real as possible however Scotrail, Northern, Cross Country and all Freight services are running with real life unit/loco numbers and traction that ran those services on that day.
There is a ton of requirements for these scenarios, far too much to list here so they are all in the enclosed Read Me file in the downloads. To be as helpful as possible, I have split these up into each part to allow users to play 1 or 2 parts if they can not or do not want to play the whole thing. I have also labled static AI with a * to show which AI the scenario can run with perfectly fine if missing, when the box pops up in the scenario to say missing stuff, press F2 to cancel it out.
As ever these scenarios have been fully tested, I took great pride in being able to drive from Glasgow to Euston albit in 4 different parts however it is still major piece of mainline that was missing and a great gap to be filled
Anyway I have waffled on for enough now, hope you enjoy these scenarios and if there is any problems with the scenarios or I have missed a requirement or something, please get in touch
Please be aware of the following missed requirements:
Part 2:
Chris Horsfields ATW TfX Class 150 Update
Chris Horsfield ScotRail Class 158/170 Destinations
Change Log:
V1.1 Included a new version of Part 2 which uses the S9BL Class 390 plus other changes to stop dumps (as seen on Alan’s stream). Please be aware if using this extra scenario included, you will additionally require the Class 390 Addon from Steam and the Unbranded and Avanti Half Liveries from Alan Thomson Sim
Hi there, is it absolutely necessary to have all the Armstrong Powerhouse products in the requirements? Because it is far too expensive for me to get every single one of them! I would understand if its stuff like the DVT/class 90 I need to get. Thanks
Very enjoyable set of scenarios for a snowy day… – many thanks!
Thanks for the feedback 🙂
Hi can you please tell me where I can find the S9BL Reskin for part 2 thanks
Hi there,
This is available here – https://alanthomsonsim.com/downloads/avanti-west-coast-class-390-pendolino-half-livery/
Hope that helps
Part 1, great, Thank you.
Thanks, really enjoyed this run. All loaded ok for me, just some missing AI stock
Could you advise where the “170EP Northern np” & “AP Class 150/2 ATW3 TFX” are from?
Hi, apololgies for the missed reqirements
The Northern 170 is Major Wales Class 170 and the Class 150 is Chris Horsfield’s ATW Class 150 TFX patch
Hope that helps
Thanks. I managed to find them but once I’d put them in, it dumps!!
Hi all,
Apologies to those who are experiancing Out of Memory errors. This is most strange as I had it running perfectly on my install but I guess everyone’s setup is different
I will look at adding a less menory useage version into the main download which will likley look at AI 390s being swapped with the S9BL. In the meantime, you can run a Logmate on the game to see what is actually crashing the scenario, instructions are avaliable here -https://dovetailgames.kayako.com/Knowledgebase/Article/View/44/12/i-have-been-asked-to-provide-a-logmate-report-how-do-i-do-this
Hope this helps
Same for me, dump on loading Part 2. I think it’s very very unlikely to actually be a memory issue so you’ll likely be wasting your time converting the 390’s to the S9BL model. Something else is causing it to dump. It could be the Northern reskin. The naming of it as shown in TSTools does not match the MJW reskin (downloaded today).
I ran a logmate but can’t for the life of me see what’s causing it to crash – it’s a load of drivel with no obvious “this is the problem” line.
Part 2 was working after I deleted all statick AI by TS tools
Likewise. Part 1 is great, but OOM error whenever I try to load Part 2.
Managed to get Part2 to run by replacing the Class 390 AI with the SBL9 class 390 (kept the player train as the original). Cant seem to find the “Alan Thomson Sim LSL Mk3 Reskin” though.
