Introduction
This is an update of the very first scenario that I uploaded which now uses newer / better rolling stock that has now become available since the original release and also reflects features that I have learnt since I first started writing scenarios back in early 2020.

Thank you for downloading this scenario, I hope that you enjoy it and find it fulfilling. All services are taken from the correct working timetables of the period. At times you will find the timings quite slack to take into consideration built in recovery times, other times you really be up against it 
Requirements
This scenario works best with the 64-bit version of Train Simulator (32-bit is untested). As well as needing the West Coast Midlands and Northwest route (see the following link – West Coast Mainline Midlands and Northwest (aka – ‘Missing Link’) – Alan Thomson Simulation) you will also need the following DLC:
Armstrong Powerhouse: (https://www.armstrongpowerhouse.com)
Class 87 Locomotive Pack Class 37 loco pack Volume 2 MK 2D-F coach pack Class 90 / Mk3 DVT pack Class 31 enhancement pack Class 150/1 DMU pack Class 43 Valenta enhancement pack Class 150/2 DMU pack Class 86 enhancement pack Sky & Weather pack* Class 321 pack TTA Wagon Pack Vol 1 Mk3 A-B Coach Pack

N.B All the above need their associated steam DLC to be in place as per the original instructions from Armstrong Powerhouse. Items marked with an * are not essential for the scenario to run.
