Do you have the Woodhead Route ?

Post by ka959 »

If you do have this quite interesting route, then have you ever tried to create your own scenarios for this one ? For me, it seems impossible to do so, as it always seems to want to crash not long into it, for some odd reason, but why ?

The scenarios I've purchased for it, seem to be OK, and don't play up. Can anyone give me a possible reason for this strange happening ? This seems to be the only route I've bought, that won't behave itself, and I can see no reason for this. I want to add another Class 76 to the rear of the train engine, on a longer than average passenger train, so it will reach faster speeds on the way to Sheffield, as I consider it to be too slow at the near-maximum speed of around 30MPH on the climb to the Woodhead tunnel. Going down the other side isn't so bad though.

Regards...

Hi

Firstly, I've had no difficulty at all creating and editing scenarios on Woodhead. What you could try doing is to reduce the detail settings while you edit, then turn them back up again for the run.

Secondly, I'm puzzled that you say you can only get "nearly 30 mph" out of a 76 on a 'longer than average' passenger rake. The fact that you say 'nearly 30 mph' makes me wonder if you're not moving from series to parallel, as that speed is just about where driving in series runs out of puff? Sorry if you know about this already but I've had no difficulty taking a 76 up to Woodhead with quite heavy loads.

Re the scenario crashing you need the kuju folder selected an assets - that will solve the problem. And prolly not using the b key for 30mph prob
