Thanks for creating this scenario, my gob is totally smacked by the amount and variation of Ai used, not over the top, but it keeps you wondering what is around the next bend.
Very enjoyable,
Cheers.
Craigie, thanks for your comment and feedback. Really glad you enjoyed it and found the AU interesting at times too. In the late 90s and early 00s the WCML was certainly a hive of activity and variety in both traction and liveries, a far cry from today. Thanks again.
Cheers,
John.
I really enjoyed playing this scenario keep up the good work
Thanks for your comment John, really glad you enjoyed it!
Lovely drive, Thank you.
Thank you very much Benelena! Really appreciate the feedback and great to know you enjoyed it. Plenty more to come hopefully.
Kind Regards,
John
Hi thanks for the reply , I enjoy finding what am missing and make it a mission! But this one has stumped me. I have the IWB , but on checking RWtools it seems am missing the variant AP weathered , so am just assumed at some point AP have done one for a extra stock pack or something similar, it’s not a huge issue , will swap them out but it’s always good to find out where stuff is hiding , I’m normally pretty good in finding missing items , but as I say this one has got away from me somewhat. Looks great btw , looking forward to giving it a go tomorrow.
good looking scenario, just struggling to find the AP Weathered IWB wagons, could they be included in a AP extra stock pack maybe?
many thanks
Evening ‘choo-choo’,
Thanks for your comment. I’m sorry you are seemingly having issues with the IWB wagons. As far as I’m aware they are part of the ‘IWB PlusPak’ from Just Trains, I didn’t think they were part of any additional extra stock packs. I’m at work tonight till late on so can’t do much to check now but will do tomorrow. Sorry for any inconvenience in the meantime. They are only part of one AI service and the scenario should run fine without them. If you are able to run it in the end, I hope you enjoy it.
Kind Regards,
John
