Anyone interested in Epping and Ongar Diesel Gala pack?

Post by tubemad »

Hello all,

I have some route's I've been wanting to use, most of them will wait until my new PC arrives in a couple of weeks, I've been dabbing about on other routes that I can use, and remembered I hadn't had a look at the Epping & Ongar preserved railway that's on Backdatedtrainsim.

I haven't done that preserved line yet but I fancied taking some of my stock out and having a 'fictional' diesel gala. By fictional it's more of the allocations, not based on an actual day of an event, but using relevant preserved loco's that have been there or are based there. I haven't used the 45 or 25 as I don't have those, and I thought about using the split box 37, but I like Armstrong Powerhouse's Class 37 pack, so I've used 37688 instead, which hasn't been to the EOR but is preserved.

I'm also using AP's Class 205 Thumper (resident 205205), AP's Class 31 Enhancement Pack (resident 31438), Just Trains Class 20 Advanced (resident 20001 / D8001), Kuju RS Class 47 (resident 47635), RSC Class 33 (visiting 33202 from Mangapp's Farm) and RSC Class 08 TOC Pack (visiting 08683 from Rail Support Services).

Stock used is Armstrong Powerhouse Mk2A's and Armstrong Powerhouse old Mk1 (Digital Traction) pack, discontinued I think?

I have shunt's onto trains, and the first 37 and 205 scenario uses their cold start features. Trains between Ongar and North Weald are single headed, then top and tailed between North Weald and Epping Forest, so scenario's are split to avoid the 20 minute sit at stations.

I'd release this as a gala pack if anyone is interested, I know it's payware heavy but it is my collection I wanted to play around with, that 37 is just great to thrash around, even though there are downhill bit's to endure.

I know scenario creation is about what the builder desires, and releases is for anyone's enjoyment, and I have spent time placing some spotter's around and putting people on platforms, but if no one's interested I don't need to type up descriptions, a read me, pop up shunt messages as I know what I'm doing.

If people are interested in having a play about with the above stock on this route, I will happily make appropriate shunting instructions, type up scenario descriptions and a read me.


James.
