Charwelton

[Nvincer]

Hello all,

To go some way towards prolonging the life of MSTS, I have just released my brand new model of 'Charwelton' which (for those who don't know) is an ex-industrial locomotive which is currently running on the Kent and East Sussex Railway.

For those of you who cannot wait for it to be approved - it is also available freely from my website http://www.bubblesrailways.co.uk

Hope some of you can find it useful!

Long Live MSTS!

Hi Ben,
OK, I'll talk to you then. No wonder content builders get disillusioned. Too many see download stock as theirs as a right.
Nice to see you back. Providing Standard gauge items.

I will put 'Charwelton' in my explore mode consists and she will get used.

Thanks for the effort.
Good luck

Doug

Hiya Doug,

Thanks for your reply, I hope she can find some use on your MSTS.

Glad to hear there are still people using it! Makes me laugh when I come back and read all of these people declaring MSTS as 'dead', I don't think it can be dead until the last person switches it off...and I feel there is a long way to go until that happens!

Thanks,

Ben

Hi Ben,
At the risk of sounding condescending.
You and the others, make 'em and I'll drive 'Em and so I hope will many others.

I use the Thirty-Five route:-

Totally fictitious but perfect for busying your self with an industrial loco a rake of wagons.

Good luck
Doug

Hi There,

I have not seen the thirty-five route mentioned for ages.

A cracking little route to practice your shunting on. For it's day a very advanced route.

It is also great to see a new industial loco introduced to MSTS.

Thanks Ben

Lovely little pug.

One small problem.
The .eng file contains the line IsTenderRequired( 1 )
This will cause the loco to run out of coal and water.

It should be IsTenderRequired( 0 )

However this may be intentional as the bunker is empty!

[Nvincer]

Thank you for that, I will fix and reupload tomorrow.

I have uploaded it and given it a little run, nice little engine

[Nvincer]

I have reuploaded this morning, complete with coal in the bunker and an altered .eng file.

Hope you like the improved model.

Cheers,

Ben

Great little addition to the MSTS fleet. A shame that the KESR route hasn't been thought off yet?

It's been done.

Seems to be unavailable now tho.

Decapod's KESR steam locos are still available here....

Not sure if the site is still maintained.
I'd advise downloading the whole lot while you can.

[Nvincer]

It is definitely still available, I was only there the other week and they had some on the counter for sale.

Edit - For some reason the whole of the online store is suspended so I guess buying in person is the only way ATM.
