Please read the readme/ Description. Are two versions of the scenario. One is not named due to some possible problems with the named version. Don't want to leave it like that, but it has been enough pain in total.

Currently working on some AC scenarios this week to add to the list. Mostly featuring these consists:

Virgin on the ridiculous there...

Seeing the shots from this.... I really miss the good parts of the simulator and my involvement in it...

That is all.. Back to binge watching Luther

Just about to revamp and upload an activity which is a joint effort by my Son and myself. 1S25 Euston to Aberdeen Caledonian Sleepers. This is the first scenario I have been involved with and based on my own Driving experiences.
Additional material will be placed in a PDF Document which will give actual Drivers information ie Speed restrictions.
The aim is to produce a very operational accurate scenario in terms of Railway working.

Peter,........
Just to add that any AC Locos (other than Class 86/87s) it is in order to make any degree of Brake application through Neutral Sections with no adverse effects. With the Auto Brake being applied you should see your Gauges showing the Train Brake reduced and the Traction Motor Needles reading in the green. As you pass over the first set of APC Magnets the VCB opens which isolates the 26000kv supply to the Loco. At this point the Traction Motor Needles drop to zero and the Loco Boggie Brake Gauges will compensate by making a corresponding application. Once the Loco passes over the second set of APC Magnets the VCB resets. The Loco Boggie Brake reading will drop to zero and the Traction Motor Needles will rise into the green to indicate the Rheo Brake on the Loco has re established. This does not apply to the Class 86/87s. In general Drivers avoid brake applications going through Neutrals as this can produce a slight jolt and sometimes the Rheo and Boggie Brakes can be super imposed together. Class 92s are completely different but that's something to watch for when the add on pack is released

Also worth mentioning that the Class 90 can brake thru a Neutral section without losing breaking power when the VCB trips.

Great video there smarty. I learned a lot from watching that, as well as recognising large parts of the route from my few runs up and down Shap this last week.

I especially liked the way the driver used the loco brakes to reduce wheelslip. Something I'll try next time I'm in an 87 under adverse conditions. Also learned about brake use and looked carefully at how much the driver used and when. Also interesting was the neutral section. Although he was coasting downhill there was no reduction in cab or fan noise when passing through it. Although I like the sound detail in my AP soundpack, I'd like to see how an 87 sounds through a neutral section when dropping off the power.

Finally it was also interesting to see (or not really) the lack of AI traffic. I saw no passing traffic during the whole 25 minutes, although the preponderance of temporary restrictions made that run all the more interesting. A great idea for a scenario methinks. All we need to do now is find out how much stock the loco was hauling and the route.

Thanks again. Really interesting.

Thanks for adding the comment re Class 90s.

Fodda, in the Video the Driver is using the Anti slip feature to control the Loco Wheel slip. This is aButton on the Desk. 87s have an automatic system to apply 10psi when Wheelslip occurs. Take a close look at the Traction Motor Needles. There is a mark etched into the Metal. This was a regular thing which used to be done which is the point the overloads will kick in and run the Taps to zero. You would just have to wait and then go for a reset!

There is a DVD from video 125 called The Royal Scot, that is basically a cab ride in a class 87 from Euston to Glasgow Central in two parts. There are some outside shots, but you can also learn a lot about driving the 87's from it.

Does anybody know where I can get a late 80's timetable for this route please? (Blue Grey era)


Many Thanks
