Mickrik's Stetchford to Norton Bridge Activity - BC1 Route

[steamnut44]

I don't normally download activities, but I decided to have a look at this one. It is a straight forward driving activity and is easy enough to complete within the time scale. But what I really like about it, is the amount of traffic you meet on the route. Mick has really give this activity the eye candy look, with lots of static stock in sidings, static locos outside sheds and plenty of shunting work going on all around you, as you pass through industrial areas.

You are in charge of Princess Royal Class " Princess Louise " just recently available for downoad. There are three stops, Birmingham New St, Wolverhampton High Level & Stafford, with lots of station traffic leaving and entering these major stations. If you prefer shunting activities, this may not be for you, but if you like a good thrash behind a Pacific, then you will love this activity it lasts approx 1 hour, but look out for a red signal about 7 miles south of Stafford, if you are slightly ahead of schedule - keep your speed below 50 in order to stop in time. I got caught out twice. Congratulations Mick on a most enjoyable activity. I may make a short video of it, showing some of the highlights. 9/10
I look forward to some more similar activities for this route Mick, if you are thinking of doing some?

Fantastic activity Mick - a pleasure from start to finish - well except for the surprise red which I didn't even see coming.

So much AI to look at throughout.

A fine tribute to a magnificent route and a fine set of stock.

Many thanks to everyone involved.

Mike
