I was wondering if some kind person could make a few more high speed train scenarios? I have looked over the scenario editor, but just don't feel comfortable jumping into it, yet. I am sure I will mess up a route. I know I will have to sooner then later.

I imagine you mean HSTs as in class 43s. If so, any particular route?

If definition of "high speed" goes beyond that, how about the German ICE from Virtual Railroads? I've just started on one for Hagen-Siegen. Any good?

How much are you paying?
Why not take a look in the scenario section of the downloads available from UKTS?
I've just had a quick look, ( 5 minutes ) and found several high speed runs available to download.

I wonder if the OP meant the new Hitachi super express?

As Chris said, there are quite a lot of HST scenarios available

Judging by the fact that capital letters were not used by the OP, I think he wants scenarios for trains which run at high speed, not the optimistically-named HST which does not meet the threshold for high speed operation. The IEP, Class 390, ICE-1, Acela Express and freeware TGV Sud-Est are the only trains modelled for TS2012 at this time which are capable of high speed.

Sorry I did not mention the train that I was really referring to, Hitachi super express. There are a few already made but most of them I don't have the required stock, payware. So I am sorry I did not specify the train I was really hoping for, Hitachi super express. I will try and work on one in the editor.

The maximum allowed speed anywhere in the UK on domestic lines is 125 mph. and the TS 2012 HST is quite capable of topping that.

And here's a "High Speed Train" doing exactly what it was designed to do.

200 km/h (125 mph) is NOT true high speed, even if it is the fastest speed allowed on the classic network in Britain because nobody will front up the cash for a late 20th century signalling system allowing faster speeds. A person from Europe or Asia would be significantly disappointed if they flew into Britain and went on a "high speed train" that only rarely went above even half the normal operating speed of their high speed trains. It's a classic symptom of how railways in Britain ceased to be the world leaders in railway technology about 60 years ago.

The definition of high speed rail is that there are sustained periods of running at speeds in excess of 225 km/h, of which the Britain has one line (effectively a branch off the TGV network to London St Pancras International. I understand that for quite some time now politicians have been dithering about the possibility of one day planning to perhaps build a second one which (madly) may not even be connected to the first.
