Route

Part 1: Network ScotEast

Part 2: Just Trains Edinburgh – Newcastle

Part 3: DP Simulations ECML North East

Part 4: ATS London King’s Cross to Leeds/York Merge

 

Description

Having driven 3E03, available HERE, you now drive the first service of the day out of Stirling, 1E03 0534 to London King’s Cross. I have been very careful to keep continuity going, with stock positions and unit allocations etc. Across four parts this is a full ECML run covering all 354 miles of track. The service calls at Falkirk Grahamston, Haymarket, Edinburgh Waverley, Newcastle, Darlington, York and London King’s Cross. This run has fully automated on train announcements throughout!

 

Special Thanks

To Chris Horsfield, for putting together and implementing the announcements into the scenarios for me, without him these scenarios would not have any annoucnements! Also thanks to Chris for fully testing all parts and assisting with livery errors and such. Legend!

 

Requirements for all parts

Please note that I have condensed this list of requirements as there are so many. For example if a reskin requires an AP pack, I haven’t listed the AP pack as a requirement as it’s needed for another requirement anyway. To find what you need for a specific part you simply ensure you have everything under ‘All Parts’ and everything under the specific part required, for example if you just wanted Part 4, you need All Parts + Additionally for Part 4.

Known Issues

– In Part 1 the CR4000 tram is very loud in exterior view, I know this, but I’d rather have a tram than no tram and couldn’t find another suitable alternative. It’s pretty quiet in cab.

– In Part 2 I am aware of an issue potentially affecting two signals in the area of Heaton Depot. I have used JT Force Green Markers, they didn’t work for me, but worked for Chris when he tested the scenario so hopefully you will have greens there. Even so, there is some weird issue where you get route indication 1 when you are continuing on the Main, this is a route bug in the JT route. If you do recieve a two random red signals approaching and adjacent Heaton Depot, please TAB those signals. I am hoping the markers have worked correctly for you.

– In Part 3 I was stuck between a rock and hard place when it comes to Class 195’s as theya re not available, my logic was to use what they replaced, so Class 142 pacers have been substituted in where there should be a Class 195. I am committed to changing this and re-uploading should a Class 195 become available. – In Part 4 I was again stuck when it came to Class 331’s. I chose again to use what they replaced so Class 321’s have been used. I have used a fictional livery that 321’s never wore but the 331’s do, so seemed fitting.

– In Part 4 I ran into major instablity issues due to the simulators limitations. I essentially ran out of AI that I could use without it crashing on load up. Because of this, regrettably, there has been a breach in continuity at York, as I had to remove all non-essential trains from there. I broke it multiple times finding the limit but wanted to prioritize anything that should move and static at Kings Cross. Please forgive areas that are empty, e.g. Doncaster yards, Peterborough Yard, Hornsey/Bounds Green; I simply reached an absolute limit in what the sim can do, as it’s a long run in the peak. It still is a really good run with plenty to look at!

 

As always if you think there is any other issue, drop a comment, otherwise, please enjoy! 🙂
