[GWR Castle] King of the Castle

Description
With the recent release of the Great Western Railway reskins for the Castle Class locomotives, I was inspired to revisit the Riviera line and give them an outing.

Contrived scenario - It's 1948 and the nationalisation of the UKs railways is underway, with most of the engines at the Newton Abbot depot already in their new 'British Railways' livery. However, along with two still in their wartime drab appearance, the fitters have taken pride in keeping up two engines, Cardiff Castle and Pendennis Castle in their original pre war condition.

Today, Cardiff Castle has just been cleaned and you are required to take a train down to Kingswear. You'll have to fill up with water and coal first though, make sure you check the points in the yard as they are all manual.

All you need to run this is the original Riviera to Kingswear (1950s) route and of course, the recent free GWR Castle livery pack for Jan 2016.

Comments and feedback welcome as always, Enjoy!

Late comment but a lovely scenario - the cinematic intro is particularly impressive! Timings are a little tight, and my lad was indignant that there was a rake of coaches in the goods yard at Goodrington, but great to drive with plenty of AI traffic going on. A nice mixture of taking the loco off shed, and a bite-size main line run with just a few stops.

Thank you!

@Simon83 It comes with Riviera Line in the 50s now, as part of the prewar Castles pack.

Good scenario but my computer lagged loads with the amount of loose stock at Newton Abbot, I also felt 10 minutes wasn't enough time to get the engine from the depot to the train. Other than that it was good and enjoyable.

I'm in need of some help. I have had this game for ages and feel lost still. I wan to setup a custom setting with this route and I just cannot see how to select this route, it's not showing. Is it even possible or am I doing something really daft?

Thanks in advance.
