17th July 2023Hello, this is one ‘standard’ scenario for the WCML Trent Valley 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:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\RailWorks
>Scenario Guide:
You begin this scenario at Hillmorton Junction waiting for a signal to continue on your journey towards Crewe. Saying that all hasn’t quite gone to plan so far today would be an understatement! 5K07 departed Willesden over an hour late due to issues in the depot and then, on the approach to Milton Keynes, 66003 was declared a failure due to low coolant. 66199 was hastily dispatched from Bescot and ran to Milton Keynes as 1Z99 to assist. Now running almost five hours late, you will drive 66199 leading errant classmate 66003 along with three 325s between Rugby and Stafford. A detailed manual with links to everything you need is included with the download:

Take care, enjoy,

An excellent scenario thank you
I thoroughly enjoyed playing this scenario!
Fantastic scenario (as usual)! Loved the cautionary signals around Nuneaton and as you enter Stafford. Very interesting consist too.
Would highly recommend 🙂
Cheers Zain, thanks for the feedback, appreciate it mate and I’m delighted you enjoyed it 🙂
Cheers, John.
Nice scenario
But 390s, 1R09 and 9S44 always route through the West Midlands via Birmingham, not Trent Valley, unless there was a blockade at the time?
There were a fair few diversions along the Trent Valley on the day in question due to collective late running and a signalling fault at Stechford. I have recreated some of this to a degree within the scenario. I hope this helps. Regards, John.
Yet another fabulous scenario John. Thank you. Barrie.
Thank you very much Barrie, you’re very welcome. Delighted to hear you enjoyed it. Regards, John.
