A thoroughly enjoyable scenario, Thank you.
DId you manage to solve the puzzle?
I did Simon, very entertaining and enjoyable. Thank you. I split the first collection of wagons into the other two sidings, so I could collect the required ones. Great.
I´ve actually slightly modified the scenario since initial release stating that the Catfish / Dogfish consist is not to be split. This involves a lot more shunting and a bigger puzzle to crack. Glad you enjoyed it though, and thank you for letting me know
