Overview:
This contains a selection of loaded and unloaded MGR consists for the Armstrong Powerhouse Class 56 EP and Armstrong Powerhouse MGR Wagon Pack for use within Quick Drive scenarios as both the player train and AI traffic. (See Notes: for info on AI traffic use)
All consists have been created using various images taken during the operation on Merry-Go-Round coal services through the time of British Rail and the later privatised firms, before the movement to lager capacity wagons and the downfall of regular MGR traffic heading into the former CEGB power-stations.

Consist details:
Consists lengths have been set at 32 wagons, although some vary between 30 and 35, as per the original class 56 pack from DTG/RSC. Weathering has been chosen randomly through each consist with clean, or ex-works, examples making up a lesser-percentage of the total wagons within a rake. The types of wagon used have also been chosen to match with the livery applied to the class 56, therefore HDA & HMA hoppers make more of an appearance on consists with a locomotive livery dating onwards from the 1980s.
Additionally, the paint schemes applied to the wagon frames has also been recreated from historic images with the BR Red making up the majority of each consist.
The livery and wagon types are displayed on the consist selection page, for example:
” Class 56 APEP BR Trainload – 32x MGR Empty (AP HDA/HMA – Red/Sectors) ”

The class 56 liveries used include:
British Rail Blue
BR Railfreight (Grey)
BR Railfreight (“Redstripe”)
BR Trainload/Sectors (Sector livery randomly chosen by in-game engine)
EW&S (Maroon)
EWS (Maroon)

Notes:
– For use as AI traffic in QD scenarios you may need to create a custom scenario, or modify an existing scenario, with the AI Train Markers set to spawn in a Freight Coal or Freight Gravel service. This has been tested on the Settle & Carlisle route as well as the WCML North.
