Thanks Mike.

FYI - I've just uploaded a revised manual with loco reqts for each scenario. I know that RobL had problems running the Buffet Express scenario - I'm hoping that is just down to missing stock - ha anyone else run this scenario successfully?

Yes I did, but i was missing the green standard vans or so called 'Austin' vans. I could not find them as being required but I found them in UKTS: UKTS_20272_JHAustinVan (kinda old Railsimulator vintage asset from December 2008 ). After that everything was OK so it appears to be only a missing stock issue. Great route btw, nice and flat!

Cheers, Jos

Following on to the freight activity above,there was some coaches in platform five and quite a few on shed,and ash pit and coal stage,

There is a up train which arrives in the up goods it's 4A01 Express Goods Whitmoor to Stratford,passes Chesterton Junc on the up St Ives line at 02.02 arr Cambridge up goods 02.10 water stop dep 02.20 passes Shepreth Junc 02.27

Loco K3 2-6-0 nearest loco K1 Victory Railworks or (Just Trains V2 or IKE's down load V2)train consists of 30 wagons, max speed for this train is 50 mph,so I presume it's a fully fitted freight,probably vans.

Coaches in Platform 5 are for the 2K51 Dep 07.05 Cambridge-Ipswich via Mildenhall Branch loco 4-4-0+6, coaches to make it more interesting bring loco from shed first.as there are no other trains in the area of Cambridge at the time of departure.

I doubt this, as the connection at Fordham from Cambridge was a trailing connection.
That would entail a run-round at Fordham which would be very unlikely.
(And of course, the Mildenhall branch itself, from Fordham to Mildenhall, was a dead end).

Hi

Sorry I made a mistake should be Newmarket not Mildenhall, the junction for Mildenhall in 1951 was Barnwell,sig 451 was the junction signal coming from Cambridge sig 457 was the Barnwell starter signal for the branch,in 1951 Barnwell had a signal box.

I should have had a look at the track diagram,instead of doing it from memory,you are right Mildenhall is a terminus,my other mistake was the length of the train the Mildenhall branch train was only 2 coaches.and E4 2-4-0 ,Maybe I stick to my 1959 timetable,and not use the 1951 one.

Mike

Mike - sounds like you've got a lot of info - do you fancy making one of these scenarios yourself?

Hi
Although I'm good at doing research,when it comes to making scenario's i haven't a clue where to start,what I usally do if some one wants some scenario's I research the time table and trains used i.e. loco's stock,and passing trains along the route,then either pm them with my research results.
Or sometimes like the last two put them on forum in a folder like yours,then if some one wants to use the information it's all at hand.
I'm afraid it's due to my stroke,I can just about run the basic TS 2016,using just the basics, I have real difficulty using any advance locomotives.
If you like I can research trains for Cambridge then sent them to you via pm or psst them here.

Hi
Found this one it has some AI trains arriving and departing before you leave

it's the 1833 2J35 Cambridge - Kings Lynn via March,dep Platform 5 passes Chesterton Junc on to the St Ives line at 18.38
Loco B12 or K1+6

AI Trains 2C60 Cambridge Bury St Edmunds via Newmarket Dep Platform 6 18.22 Nearest loco in sim is IKE's D11 4-4-0 as original loco was a D16 4-4-0+4.

6J83 Temple Mills _ Whitemoor arr DG 18.23 water stop K1 + 48

2C48 Colchester-Cambridge arr 18.27 platform 3 Ivatt 2MT 2-6-0 +2

2C52 Peterborough via St Ives pass just before Chesterton Junction B1+6

Hope this helps someone

Mike

Thanks very much Neil for the latest version.

I've just run it through RW_Tools (the new version that Mike has just released - thanks Mike) and have a lot of missing assets. I see from the other thread that others have lots of missing assets too.

Ignoring the "missing" assets buried in .ap files, I have several missing from the following folders:

5 from \Buckeye\Lanky\Scenery\Vehicles\ e.g. BR_7plankstatic_00.in

37 from \rivimey\Cambs\Environment\Terrain\Decals\ e.g. CamNmkt 0067 X2 Y2.bin

57 from \Cunningn\Cambs\environment\terrain\decals\ e.g. somer x3 y2.bin

5 from \Cunningn\Misc\ e.g. Belle-Isle.bin

Those files aren't in the provided .rwp files. Any clues as to where I can find them?

David.

Hi David

You can safely ignore any decal files, as these are a product of the route-building process rather than a requirement for the route to run.

Ash

Thanks Ashgray - you are correct - the decal maps can be ignored (though I am tidying up some redundant ones in the next version).

The missing planktastic is annoying - this is one of Buckeye's bits which I thought was in may custom assets folder - I'll check as I use a lot of his assets to provide static wagons.

BTW - a general warning - for more recent users they may also find they are missing a load of Kuju/RailsimulatorUS assets - I believe that these are no longer included in the base game - these include a couple of assets that I use quite widely so I am working on substitutes for those - nothing that will break the game but does detract from the look.

Please also don't forget that RW Tools cannot 'see' files contained in a .ap archive---Kuju\RailSimulatorUS assets are now in this format, as is the RSDL\Foliage01 pack. Together these 2 folders account for over 150 individual assets. RSC\ECMLS accounts for much, much more than that though so at first glance it can look like you've half the route missing when in fact you don't.

Hi
I see on Facebook that SSS have announced that there's a new locomotive in the pipeline which will be ideal for Cambridge,it's a J15 0-6-0,Cambridge had quite a few allocated to it
Mike

Looks nice. Of course we have the wip J15 that Ike gave us a couple of years ago - sadly I don't think he is well enough to complete it and I don't have the time to learn how to do locos as well as everything else
