"Coal from Cole"


This free scenario is compatible with RailWorks2 and RailWorks3 (TS 2012) and makes use of default stock (Player's engine is a Black 5 Steam Engine) and a default route (Bath Green Park to Templecombe) so nothing extra is required.

For more info on this scenario and where to download it, visit my site, http://www.rryard.com/
,then from the menu select "Routes & Scenarios" and you will find the "Coal from Cole" scenario listed there.

I hope you will enjoy it.

Thanks, Don! Saw this on your site and downloaded it last night. Haven't gotten a chance to run it yet, but really looking forward to it!

Cool! Once you've had a chance to try it, I'd be interested in your comments on it.
In a way it's an "open Beta" version, but I think it's ready. The few people that have reported back after trying it say that everything worked well and that they enjoyed it.
Cheers!

Nice one.

Downloaded but may me next week before I can try it. Thank you for doing this

ChrisReb: Thanks for your support of my efforts.
I'm currently working hard on more projects for RailWorks which I hope to release in the not too distant future.
Cheers!

Well, Don, that was a delightful scenario. Ran very well. Took right at an hour (I'm not fast, but I'm careful! ). Weather was nice and moody. Used the yards well, I thought. Nice combination of automatic switching and manual. I prefer manual myself for the most part. Fun to run steam in the snow!

Looking forward to the others you're working on!

Griphos: Thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated. Glad the scenario worked well for you and that you enjoyed it. Yes, I tend to prefer the manual junctions myself, but of course on some parts on some routes there places where there's no manual junctions to use for a path you want the train to go, so then need to work the automatic-junctions into the scenario in those cases.

For some updates on some other projects I'm working on, check my "Rail Road Yard Blog" at: http://railroadyard.blogspot.com/
I'll try to post regular updates there as well at my main http://www.rryard.com/ site.

Cheers!

Oh, I check your blog almost daily. That's how I found this scenario so fast.

Completed the scenario without any issues.

Really enjoyable. Route is of particular interest to me as I was born in Templecombe and lived in Wincanton for a while.

Only thing I would say is that apart from Summer weekends 7F's were almost exclusively on the goods trains and not passenger.

Big thanks for this - the scenario has a bit of everything.

ChrisReb:
I appreciate the feedback.

I try to be receptive and I'm learning more about RailWorks, Trains and train-related things in general the longer I'm into the whole Train-Simming scene.
I've come a long way in my knowledge of train related stuff and skills with the Developing side of things in RailWorks, but I know I still have lots of room continue to learn, grow and improve.

My Route & Scenario projects I make are generally fictional-based and oft times may be non-prototypical, so there can be some inaccuracies in what I use or how I make things compared to "real-life" trains, routes, rules, practices and terminology. And I admit, my knowledge is still quite limited in a lot of ways in this regards.
But that aside, I still try my best to make my addons to be of good quality, interesting, functional and fun. I can be satisfied to know that most people that try my addons that it works for them as intended and that they enjoy using them.

Thanks again.

I certainly appreciate the time that went into the scenario and would actually be a great intro to someone to show them what TS2012 is about. Not too long and a variety of things to do.

One I will come back to I think.
