All My Scenarios & Liveries

Lovely, I am not fussed about an exact deadline, I reckon when we are both done we release them on the same day, but make it more a when. If you'd prefer a timeline I am more than happy to do that though.

Homemade Victoria sponge?

 

I'll get it made this week at some point, release them next Sunday?

 

blooming heck, the night just keeps getting better, what can I say, yes,yes,yes

 

Yeah some point next Sunday it is then, good luck!

 

And to you too

 

I already feel obliged to vote for you both, but good luck may the best person win. ( I genuinely can’t wait ).

 

700 Sighs at Once.
After a week of decoding the LBN scenario planner my 3rd class 700 scenarios is finally here. This run in another unit from Brighton to East Croydon will be the last on this eventful day! Due to the fallen tree being cleared and the stricken unit moved off the main lines you can run the proper way with, hopefully, no further delay. Though saying that the preceding unit had a 10 MPH speed restriction from Brighton to Preston Park, whereas you have an Emergency speed restriction of 30 mph to adhere to for the first mile or so from Brighton to Preston Park so you may, or may not catch him up.
I wouldn't usually do this but to get the best experience out of this scenario I would highly advise using the below departure times:
Brighton: 19:31
Preston Park: 19:35
Hassocks: 19:42.30
Burgess Hill: 19:46.30
Haywards Heath: 19:53
Gatwick Airport: 20:06 (The most important one to take notice of)
East Croydon (arrive by) 20:19
Personally using these times pushes it up an extra couple of bars so like I say highly advise it.

The scenario should take about 50 minutes and requires NO custom liveries.

The required dlc is:

• East Coastway
• Brighton Mainline
• Great Western Express
• South Eastern High Speed
• BR Class 700
• BR ROG Class 37 (though it WILL work without this)

Here is the Creators Club link.

And here are my screenshots:





As always I hope you enjoy and I hope it at least gives TrainGeek08 a run for his money!

 

I mean it might but 'chasing the yellows' sounds more interesting than TSRs and ESRs to be fair, keeps you on your toes for the whole scenario

 

Well, I am just about to play yours so we will see. I can't make fair judgement on chasing yellows as I am only truly happy on greens, or even better, flashing greens. A bit of a tangent but in TSW I do sometimes hope for stuff other than green, but in real life I start 'talking French' in my head if I see anything but green!

 

There is a mix of greens and yellows, especially between East Croydon and Gatwick Airport

 

Not a bad scenario and up to your usual standards mate! I just would like to check quickly have you played mine as you liked it on the thread but obviously don't want to add a recommendation if you haven't played it.

 

I haven't played it yet but will do tomorrow, it better be good mate

 

Looking forward to trying these both out tomorrow, I’m sure they will both be stunning
But there can only be one winner ………unless it’s a draw
Good luck both

 

I mean I have played through it about 7 or 8 times and not bored yet, so take that as you will!

 

I have just edited it in but the Gatwick departure time is the most important which adds the most to the scenario.

 

My plan for the week is that I will get another scenario out Wednesday all being well and then another on Sunday, though that may be pushed to Monday depending on how drained I feel from work in the next few days (basically can my brain actually concentrate on doing more driving when I get home!).

 

I really enjoyed it buddy, did I see a class 166 as I left Gatwick ?

 

Thanks mate! Yes you most certainly would have.

 

Something a bit different today. I have created, and released two liveries for the HST the first one being a FGW livery for the GWE HST power car with some weathering. I don't really know what else I can put to describe it so I'll leave you with the link and screenshots!

Required DLC is only GWE.

Here is the Creators Club link.

And here are my screenshots:





As always I hope you enjoy using the livery and please let me know what it is like.

 

I have created, and released two liveries for the HST the second one being a FGW livery for the GWE HST power car and GWR livery for the MK3s with some weathering. I have noticed a couple of small things I need to change (font size, nose weathering, etc) but still very happy with it. This livery will be used in my Great Western Rush Hour scenario I will be releasing tomorrow. It uses the 8+2 HST.

Required DLC is only GWE.

Here is the Creators Club link.

And here are my screenshots:





Again I hope you enjoy not only seeing the livery but also pointing out the errors I have no doubt made!

 

They look great. I’ll be adding these to my collection this afternoon, good work buddy
Can’t wait to try them out on your upcoming scenario, the “rush hour” title, sounds interesting.

 

Great Western Rush Hour
After my week of decoding the LBN scenario planner I thought I would dab my feet into the less complicated GWE scenario planner and here is the result. This run in an HST from Paddington to Reading, with a stop at slough on the way won't be so simple due to the 07:55 running 5 minutes late meaning you will not be too far behind him for most of the trip. Though saying that there is plenty of chance for speed in this scenario both before and after Slough. Due to it being rush hour there is plenty of other traffic about too so keep your eyes peeled!

For the first time ever I have used custom liveries in my scenarios, though it is important to note that you DO NOT need them for the scenario to work.
The custom liveries (with links) are:

• FGW HST MTU Power Cars and GWR Coaches by myself
• FGW Class 43 Purple by Raminduction

The required DLC is:

• GWE

Here is the Creators Club link.

And here are my screenshots:





I hope you enjoy this scenario greatly and of course provide me with any feedback you have. Enjoy!

 

Thanks mate, they do look much better than they did initially!

 

I’m looking forward to tomorrow now as I didn’t have time this afternoon to download. (Mrs 1 dart had other plans for me grrrr). Does look really nice when you add the liveries, cracking job buddy.

 

I feel your pain and suffering, I was given a paintbrush and a tub of paint to paint the fence this morning. It's magic how all these jobs appear when you have a day off and it makes me look forward to getting up at stupid o'clock tomorrow to go to work! Yes it does add that extra layer of immersion having the liveries and actually makes me want a GWE extension even more.

 

I tell you, if I come back in another life I’m going to invent painted fence panels that you just have to put up and forget lol it’s the most boring job in the world painting them!
The days of stupid o clock are gone for me, I don’t get up until the dog comes up to wake us. On the plus side, at least you’ll be enjoying your day in the cab

 

You will be the richest man in the world. Who would want apple phones when you can have pre-painted fence panels. It would feel like heaven.

Yes it is the biggest con to the job not being a morning person, though you do have a point, a nice comfy seat with a great view passing by at 125 mph definitely makes up for the early start! I'll stop complaining!

 

Best seat, best view, sounds like a piece of cake to me

 

What more could I want! There shouldn't even be any rowdy passengers to deal with on the trains I have got tomorrow which is a bonus, though they always seem to find me somehow so I won't count my eggs before they have hatched.

Anyhow between you and someone else my dreams will be plagued with Victoria sponge and big, ugly foreign trains!

 

Just dream diesel buddy lol chat soon

 

Two parts to this really buddy. I enjoyed the first part racing to Slough, but hugely disappointed to see the 166 pulling off as I was still loading passengers…..Gutted. Judging by the heavy amounts of traffic in this scenario I feared the worst…….
However, having left Slough slightly disappointed in myself and giving it some “welly” it was not long before I had it back in my sights. Needless to say the 43 sailed past the 166 well before Reading and I arrived in good time with little drama. Lovely job All in all, another great bit of work by you buddy. Well done

 

Thanks mate, yes I initially had it depart at the same time but it felt way too easy as the HST had it in it's pocket way too early. It is certainly much better having to really work to catch it up. Glad you enjoyed it mate, Sunday/ Monday will see another PFR Diesel Scenario release but like I said (I think) it depends on how the next three days go before deciding to release on Sunday or Monday!

 

Yes, it worked out perfectly for me I really enjoyed it.
Don’t know what your plans are for next three days but don’t work too hard
Look forward to PFR & Diesel, classic combination.

 

Brilliant, a successful mission then if it has your approval!

My plans for the next threes days is, well, work all three of them!

It has been nice going back to my scenario making roots.

 

If you hadn't guessed already it will be tomorrow that the scenario will release as I just haven't had the time to test it. The initial feedback from the Grandkids was good though and they are brutal!

 

BR Blue on PFR: 31 Up and Over
This scenario involves you driving from the sidings north of Chinley to Peak Forest in a pair of BR class 31s with a heavy freight train behind. I have included plenty of AI to pass you over the long and arduous 6 or so mile journey. If you like thrash there is no way on earth you are not going to enjoy this scenario as you are battling with a near constant 1:90 climb.
It took me about 30 minutes to complete the scenario in testing.
There are no custom liveries needed
The required DLC is:

• Peak Forest Railway
• Northern Trans-Pennine
• Tees Valley Line
• BR Heavy Freight Pack
• BR Class 31

Here is the Creators Club link.

And here are my screenshots:





As usual I really hope you enjoy the scenario and provide me with any feedback!

 

Sounds good buddy. I’ve downloaded it ready for a blast tomorrow.

 

thanks mate, it certainly does sound good!

 

I’m not having much luck with this one buddy, I’ve tried it twice and on both occasions I’ve had a SPAD at the first stop! I just can’t stop in time which is annoying as I’m barely touching 25mph all the way there
Should I be giving it more welly from the get go or is it meant to be that slow?
Ps Nice touch with the 101 and 45? passing either side of me as they race each other to their next destination

 

Yes the brakes on the 31 are a real bugger to get right (I may have had a SPAD on my first test run ) but really satisfying when you complete it without SPADing (definitely not from experience ). If you get to 30mph you are lucky as it's a very heavy train with underpowered locos. That's the fun of it!

 

Right, I’m back on it tomorrow buddy. Thanks

 

Let me know how it goes. Enjoy!

 

Ok, here goes…phew, it felt like really hard work getting up the incline - but I made it, eventually !
Panicked a bit as I came to stop, but managed it within 6yds of the red light ( never concentrated so hard before lol)
I did enjoy the run and great to see the two units bellowing out the smoke as they crept along reaching speeds of almost 25 mph . What surprised me was that I was pleased to get to the destination (took me about 30mins) but I felt like I should have gone on for another stop ? AI was great, as usual, and you can’t beat PF for its scenery.
Overall, another nice job buddy, “keep em coming” as they say

 

Thanks mate, I was initially going to do it to Rowsley but I couldn't find a path which allowed it so I thought as long as I got the climb in it would still be a half decent scenario. The next will be out Sunday (ish) and I am looking forward to this one!

 

It definitely was a climb and probably the heaviest load I’ve dragged, or felt like it anyway.
I’d better put a date in my diary for Sunday then

 

I have just unsuccessfully 'finished' my last test run on the scenario and it keeps giving me an unexplainable red on the way. I will try to get it done tomorrow, but if not will push the Wednesday scenario to tomorrow and this one to Wednesday. Sorry not to have got it out today though.

 

No worries buddy. Better late than never, which I expect you hear quite often on the railways lol

 

That phrase is one I use so much and hear so much it feels like it goes in my ears and straight out my mouth!

Also it will be the backup one today.

 

Lol just rolls off the tongue does it
So, this is Wednesday’s brought forward then. I’ll give it a go in the morning buddy, thanks for getting another one out for us. Much appreciated.
