    Just wondered how many of you folks sit down at your PC and think...... this is what I am going to do with TS today. Then the inspirational side of your brain kicks in and ......... hey, ho we are off to another world.

    As a starter for ten, yesterday I looked at the theme for this weeks Unofficial Screenshot Comp & the theme is "Slam Door"
    I thought hmmm ............. Class 121 Bubble Car
    Next thing I had downloaded Welsh branded reskin for said 121 and set it up on the Welsh Marches Line just for the screenshot capture.

    This got me thinking, I only grabbed the 121 for an Ai requirement for another scenario and had never actually driven it.
    Next thing you know is I installed the AP sound pack for the 121 and took it for a spin.

    RESULT:-
    Result is I have created a 30 min scenario utilising the 121 along with AP Class 50, AP Class 37 + MK 1, BR B/G Class 101 etc and boy is it it fun.
    Just wondering how many of you folks sat down with the intention of ??????? and ended up with ~~~~~~~~~~~

    Well done! Are you going to put the scenario up on the workshop?

    To be a decent scenario, of course, you know you need at least 27 DLC :)

    Can't unfortunately, it uses AP & other 3rd party Assets that the workshop rejects.
    I may be able to release it through the likes of ATS but sadly I haven't reached the 27 DLC threshold yet, although I have used the Dunkrez Tamper wihich must account for at least 20 Bonus points. LOL

    Now NWC is readily available again, you’ll have to find some DLC that hasn’t been attainable since 2013 as a source of vital assets!

    It ususally starts out with Railworks.exe, but somehow I always end up playing serz.exe ;)

    Just love the little 121 "Bubble Car"
    After PM cscarpenter, he gave me permission to take his idea forward, and today I have used his ideas and suggested content, and have produced a scenario using said Bubble Car, based around the 1982 era which is available on ATS.

    I intend to also add the return journey as a Part 2.
    Many thanks to cscarpenter for allowing me to take this project forward.

    Also thinking about a more modern day swap for both scenarios, I intend to incorporate ..................... 20220201220017_1.jpg
    I never realised this unit had such a longevity.
    The last unit was only retired in 2006
