*scenario now updated with ‘goods vacuum brakes’ selected when starting the scenario (03/10/2026).
Very nice, Thank you.
Thanks Benelena.
hi, love the route and the scenario but every time i switch camera view to outside the cab when I return to the cab the engine has been put into reverse and brings the loco to a stop! any idea what is happening here and how i can solve it?
Hi Ralph. I ran the scenario again and tried to recreate the issue you are having, but for me everything is working as it should. Switching to outside view and then returning to cab is not causing the engine to go into reverse. Is the issue you’re having doing the same on other routes? If so then there might be a problem with the AP Class 37 Loco Pack and may have to be re-installed to fix the issue. Or if it’s only happening on the Buchan Line route, then may be the route itself needs to be be re-installed. If the issue still persists, then get back in touch and I’ll investigate further.
Nice run, thanks. It is a lovely route and I’d like to see more for it too.
One suggestion, if I may. The scenario starts with the 37 in Air Passenger brake mode. I’m presuming at that stage it would have been goods vacuum, although I could be very wrong there. If so, it would be good to start in the right mode or have a quick pop up to remind the driver to change it. Otherwise, nice one.
Hi sbowness. I didn’t even consider that when creating the scenario. I forgot that was a thing at all. Thanks for pointing it out and I will update the scenario accordingly.
Hi David and thanks for your feedback. Yes, I remember our contact about the Class 25. Would be good to have a sound patch for the Weardale route as I find the Class 25 undrivable with those annoying default sounds. I’m sure you’ll figure it out.
Nice scenario. Very under appreciated route to do that doesn’t get enough love. Thank you for making them for this route. You and i corresponded some years back via Steam and email regarding Class 25 sounds. I’m trying to figure out how i did it to the Weardale ones so that i can sort out the default ones for this route. My heads fuzzy these days so it’s taking longer than anticipated.

Oops, I’ve messed up the comments. Sorry David, I mean you’ll figure out the Class 25 patch for the Buchan Line (not the Weardale).
On the backburner for the time being but if i get it sorted i’ll let you know. I’ve ran the scenario again with the Weardale 25 and again with the JT 20 in the last few days such was the enjoyment.
Cool.
