CRAVENS NORTH Dundalk to Portrush

This this nice drive until you reached Newry where the coupler had broken and this activity ended unsuccessfully. Did anyone completed this activity all the way to Belfast?

I Think I do Mention that in The Read Me File The Cravens From Ballyshannon seem to be more robust

I have tried the Cravens from Ballyshannon and UKTS but with both the activity ended at Newry with a broken coupler. I won't create activities with Cravens until Part 2 will be released.

In testing the route the pointwork at Newry was problematic the distance between point nodes was pretty close to that known to give coupling issues in MSTS.

Initially the only stock we had problems with was the Freightliner wagons but, in the end, they had their couplings strengthened before the route was released.

I think that you will find in you copy the coupling statements from any item of Gatwick stock into the Cravens stock then you should be alright.

No the problem we had was with the crossover as you approached Newry from Dundalk. Basically the issue was the long distance between point nodes...a known MSTS bug.
