After 3 attempts to complete this scenario. I did find it to be stressfully challenging at first, but I did make it to the end on one piece. And this was my result: So just for fun, what was your result for this scenario and what did you like about it?
I really enjoyed the fact that I was able to complete it the first time XD. But in all seriousness I enjoyed the run down the Nora Spur, and the mixture of "mainline" running, switching, and coal loading made it a very enjoyable experience. I can't wait to give the rest of the route a go.
Luckily you did better than I have going downhill near the end. Since by the time I got the train where I want it (without overshooting the siding before doing the runaround) and headed back to the main. Tried to control it from a 3% grade and then somehow, everything had gone wrong and it turned into a runaway (hence the hill on my speed stats). Luckily, I managed to stop halfway on the spur (been applying handbrakes to each hopper when it was a runaway) and got control of it the rest of the way. That scenario was a challenging one indeed, but also fun (even if I somehow broke the brakes without knowing and still got a gold at the same time).
Yeah, the brakes on the F7 take some getting used to. The brakes take a while to apply, so it takes some thinking ahead and some patience to wait for the brakes to apply enough to slow you down.
