Three Scenario packs for S&D Phase 1

 Hello all! We are happy to announce the release of three scenario packs for Phase 1 of GAD's Somerset and Dorset route. All scenarios are based on real trains and practices, with some creative license taken to keep the requirements minimal.

Pack 1: Norton Mishap

This pack takes place on a foggy Spring day in 1962. You are a Radstock driver working one of the depot's few mainline turns on a mineral train out to Evercreech and back. It is clear however that the poor weather has upset arrangements, and the day's work is going to be somewhat improvisational.


Pack 2: Up the Bank!

This pack takes place in the high summer of 1956. You are a Branksome driver who has been borrowed to cover turns in the "old man link". Today you are working the Bath bank engine, helping trains climb to Combe Down tunnel, and performing miscellaneous duties between those trips.


Pack 3: WD Trial

This pack recreates real events from January of 1959, when an Austerity loco was brought to Bath for testing. You will take the test train from Bath to Evercreech and return light engine. In real life this test was a dismal failure, and we hope you can manage better!


We hope that these immersive story-focused scenario packs are as fun to play as they were to write!
