I"m going to "have a bash" at making some scenarios available for the route that use other DLCs rather than just ones using the default locos supplied with Railworks. I have one for the Class 111 DLC almost ready. Plus, if I make a scenario using the default rolling stock before the next release I shall try and put those up too.

What a great little gem of a raulway this is. I am just trying to run the scenario "1947 emergency delivery" and for the life of me I cannot find where you are to fill the engine with water at the start of it? Is it the water tower just as you back out of the shed? If it is how do you fill the tanks with water?

Hi Ajay1

Next to the water tower is the water column, so simply move your mouse over that and click on it. Alternatively, there's another water column at the platform where you pick up the stock. As a third option ..... you can try doing the scenario without filling up. I think it might JUST be possible - there's a challenge!

Ajay .... Have you installed the free DLC "UK Buildings Pack 01" from Railworks? The swan necked water crane is in that pack, and probably explains why it is missing in your scenario. The buildings pack is also used elsewhere, so it is essential really. My fault, I haven't made that clear have I?

Sorry about that!

Hi John, There appears to be no water column next to the water tower in my version

is something wrong here?

Some of the assets from the station pack are referenced to a non default location.unfortunately you can't swap the water filling points with RW Tools so the only option is to copy the items to match where the route expects them. I'm away from home so can't check which and where, but checking the route with RWP Tools will tell you.

After pondering a bit about this, the problem with that advice is that it could mess up other routes referencing the AP pack---duplicates with the same name kind of thing.


The 'missing' swan neck filling point is very hard to spot (obviously, it is missing after all ) but if you jump in to free roam camera mode and fly over to the water tower you'll spot the 'milk bottle' beside the oil drum



...clicking on it in 'World Editor' shows it's connected to the track (which is why you can't edit it in RW Tools) so the only remedy is to place another swan necked water filling point and delete the offending one.... possibly something to put on the back burner until an 'official fix' is released?

Hi gptech,
Your eyes are better than mine, I didn't even spot the milk bottle . Well I will have to put this partictular scenariio on the back burner for the monent and move to the next one. I did try to complete it without filling up but the Loco ran out on the return journey.

Not the best walking weather Ajay!

You could always cheat by editing the scenario so that the tender starts with a bit more water.

I shall have to have words with gptech about an "official fix." I've left a note for him on the original page.
