About the author
All my scenarios follow actual WTTs, these span span the 1980s to modern day – from Class 1 expresses to heavy freights, with plenty of chasing yellows. I play with trains for a living, and when I’m not on the real railway, I’m usually playing with ones that are 76 times smaller and made from plastic. I’m also quite keen on repainting and weathering these. Besides playing trains I also play a certain six stringed instrument.

Fantastic scenario! I am missing the 222s as ive not got the EP yet but the run was fantastic! Great run with lots of variety!
One quick thing, I think you forgot to add destinations to the 10 car 221 set that you see just before Chesterfield. Otherwise flawless and fantastic run!
Thanks for letting me know, really glad you enjoyed
