Lickey Incline - Bromsgrove Burton Route

[jetgriff]

I finished the Lickey Incline bit of the route, so along with the Nuneaton- Tamworth and Coleshill and Water Orton give it a go if you want, I find though that the steam engines do not have the power of their prototypes, I used to be a fireman on this route in the 1950's / 60's and believe me we could get more speed out of the 5's Jubilee's etc up the incline.

thank's you. is there documentation on this route ?

[jetgriff]

sorry no, I just upload little Beta versions to 4shared so a few players can test their loco's etc, I will upload to UKtrainsim the complete route with all the bells and whistles, but thats going to be at least a years work.. I hope you can get a bit of enjoyment from what there is if you download it..

Thanks Jeff - last version was fine so will give this a go.

Hi

Just tried out the Lickey incline (had to sort out the consist first - in 2 bits and on some points causing a derailment) and managed a steady 22mph.

When done this route will fill a large hole in the UK coverage by RW and from what I have seen this is going to be up there with your other routes.

Thanks for this early look at it.

Anyone know where I can find this please? Assets/Jetgriff/WCML/trackrules/WCMLTR

Thanks in advance

[jetgriff]

Thought I had packages the Track Rules, you can't have my WCML route installed..

Never mind they are up at the 4shared site now along with the modified Class47 on the Empty Hoppers which was crashing...... cheers jetgriff

[jetgriff]

Chris which points are causing trouble?? Are you getting the Blue map loading screen and 'jump to' points?

Just found the derail... its on the Class 47 hoppers on the Lickey, the rear points are against it... will move the train back towards Stoke Jct and look at it.

Yes I modified the original scenario and that scenario will always follow its original path reguardless.. through the slow line.. have to sack the controller....

I have found the file now. Done amazing job so far just ran up the lickey incline with a 4MT 8MK1 and a RFD 47 managing 13.5 mph I love it

Yes that's the one - I also moved the consist back.

Looking Great so far, I too moved the consist back down the Line to avoid the junction changing under the train, Think i managed 23mph up the incline!
I also like the look of the rest of the line Nuneaton's looking about right i think, Though I've not been there for a long time!

You need the free pack "houses ". Or there will be lots of bare lots!!

Just done the download, go to go and collect Grandson from Nursery, so won`t be able to install for a couple of hours. Will pop over on the train though - live in Longbridge and the Nursery is in Kings Norton so will check out when I get back !!!! - Is it set in the 50s/60s or current day ????.

Still enjoy SD Banks

Thanks ken, only got to brant green on this bit , yesterday I got the track to northfirld

[kennyb]

Had a nice run up the Bank - with the 47 and hoppers, also noticed that on the scenario list, others areas are modelled, so popped over to Water Orton and had a quick run, but, interestingly they don`t show on the key9 map (2D). As said, live close to Longbridge, so any info you may need, will only be too pleased to help. You say you worked the route in the 50s/60s, quite a few changes taken place, the main one being the connection into the Rover Works now totally gone.
