Hi john
an absolute cracker of an Scenario all very enjoyable with lots of AI and Cautionary Signals to keep you on your toes and set when there was a lot of variety of stock on the WCML keep up the good work as WCML Missing Link is lost without your scenarios set before i was alive and yours are much better than mine
I was missing the FSA/FTA Wagons but didn’t stop me from enjoying would have liked it to have started at Birmingham New Street
LNERFan, thanks for your comment mate and please accept my apologies for the delayed reply, been really busy of late. Delighted to hear you enjoyed the scenario mate. I’d have loved it to start at Birmingham as well, but the only reason it didn’t is due to TS throwing a wobbler with OOM issues with the amount of AI and also a couple of dodgy signals south of New Street. Wolverhampton was as far south as I could start it whilst keeping TS stable for as many people as I could. Thanks again for your comment mate.
Cheers,
John.
Hi there scenario looks great however i cant seem to get the texture on the train i have all the requirements installed but upon launching the scenario the train is all white with texture written over it with only a few of the coaches having the swallow livery applied has anybody any suggestions on how to fix this ?
Chris, thanks for your comment and sorry it has taken me a while to get back to you. Have you got all the requirements for the scenario? If you have, I would suggest you try and reinstall the Valenta HST EP from Armstrong and also reinstall the Major Wales HST Revamp Pack as that is needed for the branding to appear on the player train. Hope that helps, any further assistance you need, just get in touch.
Regards,
John.
Lovely scenario, great job!
Thanks Richard, really glad you enjoyed it! Years I have many happy memories of on the WCML.
Regards,
John.
Great scenario this one, reminded me of the railways when I were a kid, thanks!
Cheers Connor, you and me both. I have such fond memories of those years as a youngster at Crewe and other places on the West Coast around the North West. It’s great to be able to make scenarios to relive those days in TS. Really glad you enjoyed it, hopefully more soon.
Kind Regards,
John.
Hi John
Great scenario really enjoyed it. One question while im here is how do you get the “Virgin” Logo on to the HST.
Thanks
Geoff
Hi Geoff, thank you for taking the time to comment and leave feedback, I’m really glad you enjoyed it. The Virgin logo on the HST and mk3 coaches is part of the HST Revamp Pack from Major Wales Design, there is a link in the manual to it. Hope that helps you sort it Geoff, thanks again.
Kind Regards,
John.
Yeah that sorted it pal. Once again great scenario aand thanks again
