Hi, tried this but the player service has an unknown error and one sits at Crewe forever?
Thanks for letting me know. I’ve just re-tested and have no problems at the start. Do you have all the requirements? It’s quite a fragile scenario and will likely fail if you don’t have everything required.
Yes Chris I do.
That’s odd. I wonder if something has slipped in that I’ve not put in the requirements. I presume TS-Tools doesn’t mention you’re missing anything.
When I initially loaded the scenario I had a 350 skin fail to load? However, on an inspection with RWTools there is nothing missing?
It’s a London Midland 350 consist that is reported as not being able to load, and when I click on the points where I am waiting the points are locked by service 1F27 and that is a 50-minute wait!
Here is a screenie of the failed to load consist.

Thanks – that’s really useful. It looks like the missing stock is from James Ivell’s Class 350 cab and pass view patch: https://alanthomsonsim.com/downloads/class-350-cab-and-pass-view-patch/
That did it, thanks for a very nice scenario enjoyed it a lot.
Great, glad it worked! Thanks 🙂
