Hello, this is one ‘standard’ scenario for the North Wales Coastal (TfW) Route available from Steam.
Length: Approximately 65 mins.

>Installation:
To install, simply extract the .zip file using whichever software you have and copy the ‘Content’ folder to your RailWorks install “usually” found here:

>Scenario Guide:
You begin this scenario at Llandudno Junction awaiting departure of Green Express Railtours 1Z73, the 08:10 to Carlisle. You will be in charge as far as Chester this morning picking up at a few stations along the way before you get relieved. You have the regular (at the time) Fragonset pairing of 31459 and 31128 as your motive power today and load ten on to give them a good workout. No issues have been reported and you have a lovely late summers morning to enjoy on the coast. A detailed manual with links to everything you need is included with the download.

    BTW, how to add ground shadows in the carriages of AP MK1 Coach pack as yours in the screenshot?

      wsy8865, thanks for your comment and feedback. I’m not quite sure what you mean, I haven’t done anything to the AP Mk1 pack, I have my shadow quality turned up full in the settings and that’s it.

      Cheers,
      John.

    hi, nice scenario route and consist but I found the exhaust smoke came from the second loco and the reverser was initially difficult to select.

      Ralph, thank you for your comment and feedback.
      >The exhaust smoke is supposed to (and does) come from both locos as they are working in ‘multiple’. You can alter the amount of exhaust smoke that comes from each by using the “clag factor” in each loco (Shift/Ctrl + C) as per the manual to increase or decrease it. If you had increased it in the front loco you would have seen it from both of them.
      >Given the 31 EP is now one of the older packs from Armstrong Powerhouse the reverser is less involved than more recent packs. You don’t need to insert the master key, all you do is press and hold ‘W’ to cycle through the different stages from off to reverse, to neutral and finally to forward.
      >The consist was taken from pictures and archive information about the actual tour that ran on August the 16th 2003. Hope you enjoyed it all the same and hope that has helped to clear those couple of things up for you. Anything else I can help with don’t hesitate to get in touch.

      Kind Regards,
      John.
