5A01 13+40 Old Oak Common – Swansea (1990)
16th April 2019It’s the early May Bank Holiday Monday and additional trains are still supplied by BR. You are rostered to relieve an empty set of vacuum-braked coaches coming from Old Oak Common and take them to Swansea, then return as far as Bristol Parkway with a relief train to London. The inwards driver has called Control from Bristol Parkway to advise that his loco will be a failure at Cardiff due to a traction motor fault. You have been sent to Canton depot, where 37426 has been released off an exam. Once prepared, you will re-engine the train and head for Swansea. Year : 1990.
Although the workings are as per the working timetable, the involvement of 37426 is purely made up, but hopefully believable.

Hi Matthew,
Sorry I’ve just noticed a typo on the email address. Try : https://www.wotawallysbits.co.uk/re-skins
Sorry about that, will change it now.
Hi Matt. love your scenarios. I have a prob with this one though. Where does the Diesel Shunters Pack come from please ?
Hi. It’s quite an old pack, I believe it came with the Doncaster Works route. It’s only used for static BR blue class 08s in this scenario so you won’t miss much if you ‘F2’ on start up, or swap them in RW Tools.
I’ve just had a look out of curiosity and didn’t realise there was a Workshop reskin of the EWS / Freightliner 08 into BR Blue, I think I’ll get that as it’s more likely to be in people’s collections and it looks better than the one I’ve been using.
