Hi everyone. I'm new to the forum but have been playing TS21 for a while. Without giving anything away in terms of game play has anyone else played TS21 - Tees Valley Line - Scenario unload at Ore Terminal. The loco is a double headed 37/5 and I think what the game is trying to get you to do is to - unload the Ore wagons - no problem - continue to the point ahead of the head shunt - uncouple - BOTH locomotives - BOTH locomotives proceed to head shunt - Change points - proceed light engine. Trouble is the head shunt does not seem to be long enough to accommodate both 37/5's All I really need to know is whether the above IS what the game is intending you to do - if it is does anyone else agree the head shunt is too short for 2 x 37/5's. If this is the case does that get reported as a bug. IF NOT i.e. that isn't what the scenario is intending simply say so and I'll continue to try to problem solve. Thanks in anticipation.
goonlgc#1925 it would help if you knew what you were playing The Tees Valley Route is in TSW/TSW2 not TS2021
You need to stop almost at the buffer stop itself. It´s tight but they fit in the headshunt end. Those cases exist in other lines as well and in real lines. From the switch up to the buffer itself that´s still an operational section of track. Normally that´s due to available room constrains, but yes, in that area there´s no operational reason for such a short track end as they have room available up to the facility boundaries. I guess it´s just like that in the real line also and probably inherited from the past where they used only a shunter or just a single engine. Who knows... Cheers
That´s because you are trying to use the switch next to the buffer stop. That one is intended for single engines only. You need to use the previous switch and take the other head shunt path. See pictures below. With that one it´s still tight but you have room for at least 3 class 37s coupled together I just played the 11:50 service for double engines where this is used. Cheers
