Drove this twice and it needed testing twice, I loved driving these Castle's through Cornwall, second time I turned off Auto Fireman (haven't done that for a very long time) and performance seemed to be much better, and wasn't blowing off as much (I still can't control that!)

Stock formation/coach numbers is as it was on the real charter that ran in 2004, and timings from the Six Bells Junction website. Part 1 is to Par as there is a lengthy layover and proving there is interest in people have enjoyed part 1 I shall do Part 2 to Plymouth and Part 3 to Exeter where the Castle's come off.

I've placed a fair amount of 'line side' people too at crossings, bridges, fields watching your train, and at platforms too. Not quite a wide variety of people due to there only being 8 different variants of people to choose from the scenery list, so there's a few people wearing suit's at crossings and fields!

If you enjoyed this and want to carry on driving to Plymouth and Exeter I will carry on writing these two scenario's for this railtour. The time consuming part is adding the spotters on the line side, the rest is pretty easy.


Enjoy!

James.

James,

I've just successfully completed the scenario and it was very good. Thanks for your efforts.
I enjoyed the amount of lineside wellwishers which is certainly nice to see and a lot of work which I appreciate.

Best wishes,

Paul

There is a bug in TS using double headed steam locos as you cannot fill the boiler, particularly with the auto fireman turned off. This bug has been around for years and DTG knows about it but has done nothing about it. Don't be surprised if you are driving along and suddenly the scenario ends saying that you have run out of water and you still have 75% of water left in the boiler. The best way to drive doubleheaders is with auto fireman on.
