16th July 2025Hi, and thank you for downloading this 70 minute scenario for the unbranded version of the Welsh Marches route by Bossman Games.
To install, simply copy the enclosed ‘Content’ folder to your Railworks folder. This is a ‘Standard’ scenario and is named “[MJC] 1Z54 1415 Newport – Barnt Green ‘Two Halls to Newport’”
Summary
On 9th September 2006 you are driving the leading loco, 4965 “Rood Ashton Hall”, on a double-headed run between Newport and Hereford, with 4953 “Pitchford Hall” coupled inside. This is just one leg of a circular itinerary operated by Vintage Trains, which will culminate in a storming run up the Lickey Incline. Year: 2006
Maximum speed is 60mph. There is a 20mph restriction through the platform at Cwmbran due to the width of the cylinders on these locos. Once the second loco has cleared the platform you can start to accelerate.
