How to add trains to Free Roam in TS2014?

[BadWhippet]

With no scenarios travelling the entire Liverpool Street to Ipswich route in the GEML pack (why??? I don't WANT to be terminated at Shenfield etc) I wanted to choose Free Roam and just pretend. Unfortunately, the Class 360 that came with GEML is not listed in the available locos under Free Roam. How do I fix this? I've tried the usual clearing game cache and checking local content in Steam in case anything was missing, but the Class 360 remains missing.

Secondly, has anyone had any joy in subscribing to a Steam Workshop scenario in TS2014? They're not showing in my game either.

Many thanks for any help. Note: I'm clueless about the back end of the game (the build and design stuff).

The activities the route comes with are usually not very good.. Have you checked out the file library here? Ive got a few there using 360's. I don't think I have any currently released that cover Ipswich - LST in one sitting but the pack I am working on does.. sadly not finished yet.

Thanks for replying!

I have indeed, but there seems to be very little for the route as yet. Most of what has been made requires several more locos and other assets than I own, so I can't use them (for example: a lovely scenario I'd love to try runs from Ipswich to Felixstowe for the Class 360, but it additionally requires AP's class 90, JT's Class 153 and Oovee's Class 156 in order to run). Of course, I'd love all these but I have to buy upgrades bit by bit. I can't find any scenarios that ONLY require what came with the GEML route add-on, unfortunately.

You can always create you own Free Roam Scenario in the Editor.

Click on the Build icon, select the route and click New Scenario.
It will ask what type and where it should start.
You then assemble the trains(s) you might wish to drive.

You could have a Class 360 and something in the other platforms - it would then give you a choice of trains to drive.
But in Free Roam the railway would be quiet with no other traffic and you need to keep an eye on the Junctions as they might not be set for the route you wish to drive.

Another way of exploring the full route would be to do a Quick Drive between two places on the route - and you should have some AI traffic to interact with.

Talking about freeroams, I have created one on the TestTraK with several trains. At first, I can get onto any train. Once I get on that, I can switch to another one. But when I go to a cab of a train, then back to external view, I can't select another train. This problem is also on other scenarios.

Can anyone help me?

When you drop in to the external view press the '8' key which will un-tether you from the locomotives you've been driving. Now you should be able to jump into the cabs of the others.

Thanks! It worked!
