Hi again spizz. Thanks for the top feedback. No problem.

Hi NS, another cracking drive. Many thanks!

Hi JJTimothy. I do not mind you posting a link, and I appreciate you asking me. Thank you.
Thank you for all that information. I do overall research regarding time period, location, but as a rule I do not concentrate on wagons too much. I know I make mistakes. I knew they could be used with passenger trains, which I have done on some scenarios.
As I am not an ex railway employee, I am lacking in this type of knowledge. However, for my next collection on this route, (a few months away), I may check out your museum website, to get some new ideas, and new knowledge, before starting, to be more accurate.
Currently my time is spent on creating contemporary scenarios in and around Austria, as quite a few routes now cross over into Italy, Slovenia, Switzerland and Germany. Studying the direction of travel, and the dc / ac situation is quite a challenge - but all the more interesting. Best regards Not.Silent.

It's about time I got to this and I enjoyed it. Presuming you have no objection I will be posting a link to it in the Friends of Darlington Railway Centre and Museum website.

There's one detail I think worth mentioning for future reference- those milk tanks were braked. Like fish vans speed was important because of their perishable cargo so so they'd run en bloc or could be attached to passenger trains. If you imagine they're going for repair their appearance in a train like this is perfectly reasonable but as a rule they'd be marshalled next to the locomotive so the brakes could be hooked up, the train as a whole thus becoming a partially fitted freight. The only exception would be with unfitted wagons that were piped- although not braked themselves they had pass through connections so they could go between a fitted wagon and the locomotive and still enable the brakes to be connected.

Hi robmerlo. I am glad you enjoyed this really popular scenario.

Another good run thank you

Thanks for commenting Road Kill Bill.

Very enjoyable. Thanks a lot

Cheers jules.

Lovely scenario; excellent AI traffic. Thank you.

Very strange puternut1953. I suggest you delete/unsubscribe and start again to see if that fixes it.
As this is incredibly popular you must have had a power surge/brown out when you subscribed.

Does the engine ever start? Tried three or four times with the starter - up to 20 mph then it just dies?

That seems strange daymyron. Thanks.

Nice scenario, a bit odd that there is no engine noise or exhaust smoke though.

Cheers Scouser888.

Tried it, OK, I guess? A very dismal day.

Not. Silent. I cannot find the English Electric Type 3 loco, is it known by any other name?

No problem Marc. Cheers.

Thanks for another brilliant Weardale and Teesdale adventure cobber.

Thanks heyjoe.

Thank you springer6.

Excellent scenario ! Wonderful sunrise !

Thanks again rouanet.b. You like my nostalgic scenarios!

Thanks brian62. Braking is fun isn't it!

Thanks COLIN .M. DAVENPORT.

Thanks Barrie.

Hi N.S. Great scenario as always. I actually found the train control relatively easy though. A nice short run and thanks for sharing. Best wishes to you. (Colin)

a very good trip, Ai [amazing ] and signals all ok. this seriously tested the [almost non-existent ]
brakes too their limit, many thanks..........

Arrivé sans soucis en etant vigilant , merci pour ce scenario bien retro .

Nice scenario, as always. Thank you.

Well spotted by the way Albino Pigeon. I deliberately put this screenshot as the main one for this reason, as it is different!

Hi Albino Pigeon. Only by.....human intervention - on stationary wagons - by me literally placing them on them ha ha! I like doing things like this, just to add interest. In a new scenario I am creating at the moment, I put war memorials on some warflats - and single cable reels too!! Actually if anyone DOES KNOW how to get a load to stay with a moving wagon, I think a lot of scenario/route creators would like to know!

I notice that the warflats in the thumbnail are carrying sheds that come with the default asset pack, is there a way in the scenario editor to configure the warflats to carry any load?

Thank you pjohnandlyns.

Nicely done, all worked OK.

You are a hard man to please Fairrosamund. I am glad you enjoyed it - I think? Thank you for leaving a comment.

Thank you henele54.

Enjoyed it!

I found this to be an enjoyable scenario.However for me this scenario lacked a realistic start and finish.Which makes the difference between a good and an excellent scenario.

Hi again guenter.weber46. Ich freue mich, dass du meine Arbeit wieder genossen hast, und du magst mich, viel Spaß beim Herumrollen!

Thank you Rob Jansen.

Problemlos und ohne Halt in Shildon angekommen. Sanftes zurollen an die Signale ist hier
meine Lösung. Habe deine Arbeit wiedereinmal genossen. Danke N.S.

Glad to see more Weardale scenario's. Reqlly like that era right now and such a nice route.

I am pleased you enjoyed this one too guenter.weber46. Danke.

Thank you garry.hinchcliffe.

I agree. It must have been terrible chris5012. Thank you for a very positive comment again. The idea of doing a few W & T NO extra DLC scenarios, was partly due to someone else, and then I thought I haven't done one for a while. They are proving popular to those who probably can't or choose not to purchase lots of extra DLC.

Very good indeed. That tunnel leading up to Shildon yard must have been a nightmare in steam days especially if a heavy freight was stopped at the signal at the entrance!! How the drivers and firemen didn't suffocate is a mystery!!
