Hi Chris, really nice shots Glad the route's getting some mileage.

Extract from one of the photos in the book I used when making the route:
"31st August 1955 Jubilee 45573 Newfoundland.........on the Cardiff-Newcastle express with assistance from four 0-6-0T's.....
47303,47502,47313 and 47305....... The coaching stock is a mixture of LMS and GWR, 12 vehicles in all; this train regularly loaded to 370 Tons or more.
Cheers, Clive

Rick - I have it sort of running in MSTS. I'll be in touch shortly so you can get started
- still quite a way to go for the model though.

Question for anyone making Activities is it possible to bank an A1 train
using the Banker as the Player Engine, this means coupling to push then un-couple
and return on a different track Licky Bank in mind?

I always knew you could start with a Banker as a helper.

Coupling up to the AI train is no problem stationary or on the move (you would need to start the player path within the same section otherwise you would get a red between you and the AI). Best to set the AI train to a low performance so the banker does most of the work. Uncoupling the banker is more of a problem. So far I've not found a way of reliably uncoupling on the move, you would have to stop the train to release the banker (a station stop or a waiting point).

Thanks for the reply I have managed to un-couple on the move, But I am having
a problem that when I return back down the Bank the Activity suddenly ends and
the last reverse action is lost. Am I missing something? I should say I do not usually
get into doing activities, but this is one I could not resist Bromsgrove Shed up the bank
and return to Bromsgrove.

Are you stopping at a station - do you have any location / time events in the activity?

I was expecting a loco with too much coal in the tender when i look at the title. oh well.

Brilliant stuff though.
