SS 1S46 The Midland Scot (Part 1) Birmingham to Preston
21st January 2021Introduction
Thank you for downloading this scenario for WCML Midlands and Northwest, I hope that you enjoy it and find it fulfilling. It´s summer 1993 your task is to take the prestigious 1S46 “Midland Scot” Intercity service forward from Birmingham New Street to Preston. 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.

If you run into any problems or have any queries or questions please let me know.
Really want to do this scenario what are the TTA Shell Reskins as I’ve done all the requirements I believe? Also something called OB Empty is missing too?
Part 1 & 2 nice scenarios with some great AI. Just a shame that if you want to complete them successfully you have to speed! Not timed for a class 86 (maybe a pendo)?
Hi Mick.
The timetable is certainly tight in spots with the first stretch between Birmingham and Wolverhampton being very hard to achieve. I can manage it without speeding but it does require skillful driving of the 86. I hope that you enjoyed the scenario otherwise though.
Cheers,
Simon
Sadly could not get this to load, the infamous “INT DIVIDE BY ZERO” error reared its ugly head yet again, always seems to happen on the most interesting scenarios, can’t find any conclusive reasons as to what causes this issue, or how to fix it, seemed to run fine for the other person who commented and my rig is powerful enough for anything TS can throw at it so I don’t know.
Nice drive, Thank you.
Thank you Benelena. Glad you enjoyed it. Keep checking as there will be some more coming soon.
