Absolutely Brilliant Scenario couple of Scenario and in the 86 with the EP which is an pleasure to drive makes brilliant 2 hours of driving in days before i was even alive your much better than me at making scenarios most of the time lots of caution and danger aspects to deal with on the way to Crewe with lovely AI
Keep doing what you are doing
LNER Fan,
Thanks very much for your comment and leaving such nice feedback, really appreciate it! Delighted to hear you enjoyed both parts so much. I have very fond memories of the late 90s and early 00s on the railway scene. I was really getting into the railways back then and the variety of stock and chances of getting locos cleared for haulage was to good to miss! It’s lovely to be able to recreate scenes like that in TS and even more so when others enjoy them so much. Thanks again.
Kind Regards,
John.
Not simple scenarios (because 86 not easy loco himself), but very relax driving, super)
Agent Qracle, thanks for your feedback and I’m glad you enjoyed it. The 86 does take a bit of getting used to when you drive it for the first time.
Kind Regards,
John.
Thank you. I really enjoyed part one. The 86 is an interesting and unique loco to drive. Sadly I don’t yet have all the requirements for the second part but I don’t doubt it’s excellent.
Gareth, thank you very much for taking the time to leave feedback, really appreciate it. Great to hear you enjoyed it. Sorry you haven’t yet got all the requirements for Part 2, hopefully in the future you’ll be able to play it. The 86 from AP does take some getting used to but is a lovely loco to drive when you’re used to it.
Regards,
John.
Completed both parts now and very much enjoyed them both. Great scenarios for getting the most out of the 86 enhancement pack. Thank you!
MWillis, many thanks for taking the time to comment and leave feedback, it’s greatly appreciated. Great to hear you enjoyed both parts. I’ve got such fond memories of those days on the WCML. More to come soon.
Kind Regards,
John.
Very enjoyable drives with some cracking AI. Fabulous. Cheers.
Mick, thank you very much for the comment and feedback. It’s great to hear you enjoyed both parts, thank you for playing. More on the way soon.
Kind Regards,
John.
