GWR - Cornish Riviera 2
Posted: Thu Mar 03, 2005 5:52 pm
For those who thought that the Cornish Riviera activity delivered with GWR was too easy, I have just uploaded Version 2. This one is far more difficult.
Unzip the downloaded zip file to a temporary folder. In addition to the CR2.apk file which you should just double click on to unpack, there are all the consist files used by the activity, so copy all the .con files to your trains/consist folder and reply 'NO' if there are any messages "file exists - overwrite? ". Also included are the extra rolling stock used. Again, copy these folders to your Trains/Trainset folder and reply 'NO' to any message "file exists - overwrite? ".
The following is from the activity description:
This is not a straight forward activity - it was developed to challenge the player and for those who turn off the sutomatic fireman, I rate this activity as 'very difficult'. Even with the Automatic Fireman on, it requires active participation. To start with, the train isnt parked nicely at Paddington. The cars are but the loco is in a shed at Old Oak Common. Its tender needs water and coal. When thats done, its backed out onto the mainline, up to Paddington and coupled to the waiting cars. Then, after un-coupling the train from the delivery loco at the other end (F9), its ready for a 10:30 am departure (assuming that you did all that in a limited amount of time, otherwise you are going to be late). Back in 1915, there were 8 stops between Paddington and Plymouth, with cars dropped off as follows:
3 at Westbury
3 at Taunton
2 at Exeter
The train starts with 15 cars so after Exeter, you should have 7 cars attached.
Follow the timetable (F10) and get to Plymouth by 14:30
