    Let's try this unique scenario again, after quite a few re-tries but I finally managed to complete it without failure!!

    A gloomy day of 1943 sees Southern Railway Q1 Class 'C18' departing from the sidings of Radstock in a hurry after air raid sirens fire into life and anti-aircraft shells explode overhead and 'C18' proceeds to the nearby sidings at Braysdown to pick up eight BL 12-inch howitzers that must be quickly transported to Bath; about 10 miles away, to assist with the British war effort. A brake wagon has been provided in the middle of the consist to assist with the transportation of heavy weaponry. However; a sudden surprise attack on the train happens from above as a German dive bomber strikes the rear artillery gun causing smoke to soon plume from the damaged weapon becoming an active explosive hazard. The train rushes as fast as possible to the nearest siding at Midford to quickly dispose of the dangerous weapon and luckily succeeds in doing so and continues without issue to the industrial sidings of Bath.

    Loco: Southern Railway Q1 Class
    Route: Somerset & Dorset Railway

    This scenario is very interesting; first of all there are actually air raid sirens and anti-aircraft shell explosions in the beginning at Radstock. However due to the angle of the explosions in the sky screenshot opportunity wasn't that great. Second of all the scripted event where an actual Ju-87 Stuka dives on the train and flies by in a cutscene sort of event resulting in smoke coming from the rear artillery gun. This is where the hard part begins; you have to drop the rear gun off at the siding at Midford with a time limit of 6 and a half minutes to do so according to what a message box tells you after the train is struck. A few times I was too slow at doing this and failed the scenario. It sounds simple enough but can be tricky traversing the steep gradients of this route with a very heavy train behind you... led by a steam locomotive no less! But I eventually got it and successfully completed the scenario coming to my final stop at Bath. Never experienced a scenario quite like this one; I feel many scenarios lack this sort of originality and uniqueness. Don't get me wrong, a simple drive is nice but it's good to have something totally unexpected that takes you off guard sometimes and even challenges your driving skills every now and then! This is probably the only scenario I've played that actually deserves that maximum 5 bar difficulty rating. I wonder if this scenario is directly inspired by some actual real life events where moving Southern Railway British steam trains were attacked directly by German aircraft!

    Set 5 of a multipart chronological depiction of a mid-summer stopping passenger service QD, from Carlisle to Settle, on DTG Settle to Carlisle route. Primary motivation for the run was to check out the then recently installed AP Veggie Pack. It also came to me that I've never featured Donington's Midland Rwy reskin for CW's GERT26 2-4-0 tendered steam locomotive. According to Rail Map Online, Settle to Carlisle was, in pre-grouping days, part of MidRwy. That, plus an absence of bona fide MR steam locos in my roundhouse, makes the reskin a logical choice.

    A PR Firm has hired a special train to transport VIPs to a company launch party taking place at Finnentrop to drum up some publicity for the new company. DB Class V 200 '220 043-3' is in charge of the special train departing from Siegen Hbf with two Avmz and five Bimz coaches behind just before 10am forming a train of 7 coaches in total. The train will be stopping at Kreuztal and Lennestadt-Altenhundem before reaching it's final stop at Finnentrop after a 44 kilometre journey on the Ruhr-Sieg line.

    Unfortunately the headlights on this locomotive weren't working however the red tail lights on the locomotive were operational. Couldn't figure out how to turn on the headlights unfortunately if there even was a way in the first place. Probably caused by a bug due to the age of this loco model. Still a nice drive though. :)

    Several old models are broken like that. The S-C 158 is a similar example.
    Maybe Spikee1975 has an idea.

    Very nice shots btw. I'm tempted to save them! Despite my collection being mine... must.... resist.....
    Would be an easy cheat, this subject awaits documentation on my end.
    Btw, if you have the E18 pack, I recommend running this with its matching UIC-X coaches. Aside the E18 you may recall them from a 151 run.

    Open the V200's engine blueprints and make sure the "Headlights" section has the yellow marked values: (applies to the SC 158 also)

    Wow thank you very much! Unfortunately I don’t have the E18; might not be getting it anytime soon either as it’s not really something on my Wishlist at the moment but that could change. :)
    Thanks for your excellent help as usual!!

    Set 2 in a multipart chronological depiction of a mid-autumn morning stopping passenger service Heritage Rail Tour QD, from London to Peterborough, on DTG ECML London - Peterborough route, which makes use of AP's Veggie Pack. Motive power is Caledonia Works' GER T69 4-6-0 tendered steam loco, seen in LNER B12 Lined Black Livery. It hauls what QD terms the 1936 Queen of Scotland Coach Set. As such, I selected Queen of Scots for the loco's headboard. We travel the "slow" track, allowing stops at all stations en route.

    Talyllyn Railway E Class '6' 'Duncan' normally known as 'Douglas' as been equipped with a face and briefly renamed 'Duncan' like the character from Thomas & Friends to entertain the children that will be setting off on a Winters evening on a Santa Special train from Tywyn Wharf to Dolgoch utilising four coaches for the journey. After reaching Dolgoch; the train is brought to the Quarry Siding ahead where '6' 'Duncan' shunts around it's coaches for the journey back to Tywyn Wharf. The journey covered 10 miles and lasted an hour with additional stops having to be taken at signalboxes in Pendre and Byrnglas in both directions to receive permission tokens to proceed on the journey.

    Just a note - all of the locos pictured (and I do like to see them) are ex DR rebuilds (known as REKO Loks) not and never were DB. DB computer numbered locos had 3 digits (class) 3 digits (engine no.) - 1 digit (check digit). DR (had to be different) had 2 digits (class) 4 digits (engine no.) - 1 digit (check digit). It was much to my annoyance that when DTG launched Wutachtalbahn they announced it with a DB class 86, so I bought it to find it was the same ex DR class 86 that I already had. The DB one should have been a 086 not an 86, I complained to no avail but haven't been "gulled" since. The REKO loks have that distinctive feedwater heater on the top of the smokebox in front of the chimney, no DB lok ever had such.

    Set 4 in a multipart series chronologically documenting a mid-Autumn morning stopping passenger service Heritage Rail Tour QuickDrive, from Crewe to Holyhead, on North Wales Coast Line route, acquired during Steam's Winter 2023/24 sale. Having belonged to LNWR in pre-grouping days, I power the train with a favorite steam-era loco, Caledonia Works' LNWR "Greater Britain", No.3435 "Queen Empress" to be exact, seen in Lilac & Cream livery. Though Greater Britain looks to be a conventional 2-4-2 tendered locomotive, it is in actuality a 2-2-2-2 compound loco. It pulls four LNWR coaches, the last of them an observation coach, which I fail to get a decent capture of. On display are AP's Vegetation, Weather, and Clouds Packs, as well as RW Enhancer 2.

    This set's captures are all out-and-about. No station stops. Though I did not annotate it within image one's file name, I believe it finds us still within Chester, very near where image three of my one-off radioactive-red Greater Britain set was captured:

    Freightliner Class 66 '66504' begins light engine at the Felixstowe Central Terminal railway yard on an incredibly wet and gloomy Summers evening and shunts together a train of FSA wagons loaded with intermodal freight and departs from the yard soon joining the Felixstowe Branch Line after waiting for another train to pass. After joining the branch line the train continues northwest until joining the East Suffolk Line and then shortly afterwards joining the Great Eastern Main Line for a run northbound to Stratford travelling 82 miles on the journey while also facing occasional red and yellow signals due to a passenger train ahead for some of the journey.

    Norfolk Southern EMD SD40-2s '3312' and '3260' haul a heavy train of 20 hoppers loaded full with coal and depart from a passing siding at Clarksville on the Mon Line after waiting for a southbound train to pass and afterwards continue north 12 miles to Brownsville before heading onto the Loveridge Secondary crossing over the Monongahela River and proceeds to travel another 4 miles to the drop off point for the loaded coal hoppers on a lovely Summers day.

    Part 9 of a chronological depiction of an Autumn morning stopping passenger service Heritage Rail Tour QD, from Inverness to Kyle of Lochalsh on Just Trains - The Kyle Line, a route purchased at the tail end of Steam's Autumn 2023 sale. The train consists of a Caledonia Works Highland Railway "Jones Goods" 4-6-0 tendered steam loco, seen in radioactive yellow livery, pulling four AP MK1 coaches. According to (link) Rail Map Online - UK & IE Railways (link) Kyle Line was, during the pre-grouping era, part of The Highland Railway, making it a suitable match for the loco.

    The below image is a personal favorite:

    For some reason EDIT is not letting me add additional captions between images. Image three's caption should read, "Paused at Attadale, a small station where I need to run not only the loco and tender but also the first coach 'off the platform'."

    DB Schenker Class 37 '37198' performs light engine shunting manoeuvres around the Edinburgh area on an early Autumn Sunday morning to test that major signal upgrades previously carried out are working as intended. '37198' begins at Gorgie Junction at 5am in the morning and moves onto the Glasgow-Edinburgh line and moves around Haymarket before heading east to perform final checks on signals around Edinburgh Waverley.

    FYI The "Jones Goods" was used for specials in the early 1960s as were the the other preserved pre-grouping engines as a last fling before being incarcerated in Museums where they now remain. Your pictures of the Jones Goods hauling Maroon BR Mk1 coaches is accurate although I don't recall it getting North of Inverness but my memory is not infallible. As I say My memory is good for that which I remember but poor for that I have forgotten!!

    It's a hazy but clear morning in southern Wyoming, USA as Union Pacific EMD SD70M '4969' and Union Pacific GE ES44ACs '7719', '7726', and '7922' head westbound out of Cheyenne with 57 autoracks direced to take the southern "Track 3" route from Cheyenne to Hermosa due to it's less steep gradients for the train to deal with due to it's weight. The train covers a 48 mile distance to Hermosa occasionally facing some sudden fierce weather and issues on trains ahead; such as faults and a suspected rockslide at the Sherman Hill Tunnel that luckily was safe for trains to continue through.

    Fresh from the oven - a Class 37 with 7-plank wagons on Weardale. (Parson Byers Lime Quarry by TobBirk)
    Wanted to run this combo to tick some boxes in my inventory. Decided to check workshop, this was early result, I trust TB.
    Nice run, definitely recommended. Mixing WT and Kuju stock makes it even better variety-wise (AI and stationary).

    2 RBH Logistics Class 143s (branded as PBK Logistics in game; most likely due to licensing reasons) depart from Köln-Kalk Nord with 16 heavy Zans tanker wagons on a wet Spring afternoon and head northbound to Düsseldorf-Reisholz limited to a top speed of 80 km/h where the train will pull into the sidings there and end the journey travelling 29 km on the Köln-Duisburg line.

    Set 4 in a multipart chronological depiction of an Autumn morning stopping passenger service QuickDrive on Golden Age Developments' West of England Mainline route, recently updated to "phase 2", which extends tracks further eastward to Yeovil Town. Our journey begins there, stopping at all stations until the run terminates at Exeter. I considered using an official standard scenario for this first complete run on the extended route, but didn't want the hassle of keeping to a possibly tight timetable that might impede screenshot capture. That being the case, I elected to power the train with Caledonia Works' rendering of the LSWR 415/0415 class 4-4-2T steam locomotive, commonly known as the Adams Radial Tank. It is seen in Adams Brown Livery, pulling six LSWR coaches. The loco proved insufficient for the task at hand, though we finish the run, by means I'll divulge at the appropriate time.

    This weekly became a little gloomy. :)
    Starting off, the EMD SD9 from its first scenario. The job is to assemble a string of hoppers. Or shall I say marshal?
    The scenario likely requires Spikee's coupler fix - couldn't finish this first attempt without it.

    I`ve owned JT`s Buxton Peak Forest for a few days now & stunning is definitely one word to describe it! last night I ran 1Q41 Derby RTC test train through to Peak forest to Buxton then reverse back up to Chinley junction to rejoin the mainline & head towards Hazelgrove. the line between Peak forest & Buxton is among the most scenic of TSC lines I`ve ever seen! This was a long and fun scenario with the pair of 37`s to thrash along the way! I`ll post a selection of shots I took to show off the beauty of the Peak district.
