Got it yesterday, Great fun,
One problem i have is with the 14t tank wagon, Something not right with the couplings,
I've tryed coupling with the Usa tank, class 07, 08 and the class 37 but all with the same bang, crash and jumping,
When i tryed with a 16t mineral wagon as a barrier between the loco, the mineral wagon derailed,
Is it something wrong my end ?
Also the Usa tank wont couple to Mk 1's, Default or DT's, But it will in the consist editer,
They look nice together

Will , this is prototypical just look at weymouth, trains had to reverse out of the terminus , then travel out over the river/harbour then on down the portland branch or to the quay branch.

Not since 1909, when they built a platform on the branch just before Weymouth junction to cater for Portland passenger traffic. Boat trains changed engines at the junction then went straight to the quay.

It's hardly prototypical. Or are you implying that Ash Row is an exact representation of Weymouth? I wouldn't know.

But given a blank sheet of paper, is this how you would have arranged the terminus? How do AI trains negotiate this reverse?

Just bought this route and installed the class 37 scenario.

WOW!!

Quite possibly the most enjoyable route and scenario I have ever played on Railworks! Absolutely loved it, the route is stunning and very, very scenic with challenging gradients giving plenty of scope for 100% power thrash runs. I was also amazed at how long the route was, I for some reason expected it just to be a mile or so long but it's immense. The route is so much more interesting than the long, straight runs of say York - Newcastle or Padd to Oxford etc. Loved the seaside runs followed by a steep mountain climb, beautiful.

I hope that the scenario builders can bang out some more scenarios for this route utilising some of the stock available, would be great to take the Peak or a 50 out for a run over this line.

Very satisfied and all for charity.

Buy it today if you haven't already, it's a stunner.

Was that my "Interim Measures" by any chance? I only ask because you seem to be interested in more of which I would be happy to oblige at some point.

The route was built as a bit of fun if you don't like the station then you rebuild it. Considering the route was built to raise funds for a charity I think they have done a fantastic job. Why do people find it necessary to pull it apart I don't know

Yes it was the Interim Measures. Thoroughly enjoyed it mate and I'd be chuffed to bits if you are able to knock out anymore modern traction scenarios for this great route.

It`s called "having an opinion".

You have yours and the rest of us have our respective opinions.

Finally got it this evening and ran the 40 minute scenario to see the island. Its hard to believe it was all done in 24 hours. I particularly admired the rock-work - it really looks great. Well worth the price as well as being for a good cause.
