LBSCR Scenario Pack (Part 1)

We have just released a pack of 5 scenarios for the Great Western Levels (1902) route. These scenarios imagine that the route is run by the LB&SCR, using stock solely from this company. We have covered the different decades between the 1870s and 1910s.

These scenarios are a great way to get to know our latest coach pack, the LBSCR Stroudley 4/6 Wheelers, which feature heavily.

We also made sure to cover a lot of different operations, some of which haven't been done before with our existing scenarios on the route. We hope you will enjoy!

The Scarborough Flyer Railtour (2008)

During the summer of 2008, the Railway Touring Company ran a series of railtours from Crewe to Scarborough. These trains were routed via the Huddersfield line, Wakefield Kirkgate and Castleford. There was a pool of 2 locos for these trips, being 6201 Princess Elizabeth and 60009 Union of South Africa. In this scenario pack you will be driving 60009.

The pack contains 3 scenarios for the Huddersfield Line route.

Somerset & Dorset Phase 2 – Broadstone Junction

Some more progress shots, this time showcasing the opposite end of the line. Broadstone Junction was the location where the S&D rails officially terminated, with S&D trains running onto the LSWR Old Road (or Castleman's Corkscrew) for the last section through to Poole and onto Bournemouth. The station had a small good yard, and an iconic roadbridge from which a large number of working-days photographs were taken!

The area has been lovingly recreated within the sim, and has been furnished with a wide array of period-accurate gubbins, such as the animated Whitaker tablet-catcher apparatus on either line for use by S&D trains, white sighting boxes painted onto the bridge face , and the iconic Up Starting signals, suspended under the signal brackets.

In the coming weeks, the team is hoping to get some of the remaining scenery up to Shillingstone completed, with a big focus on the remaining custom assets. More progress updates to follow!

Stroudley Coaches Progress #3

Hi all, I'm sorry it's been so long since I made a post on these outside of Discord. Progress is good, and I'm very pleased with how they are coming along! Here are some highlights:

D45 Brake Third and D44 Third

Two coaches have been added to the arsenal, representing the ubiquitous D45 Brake Third and D44 Third, pictured below:

I am particularly pleased with the interior view from the Guard's duckett:

But there is also something to be said for the utilitarian third class compartments:

Destination Board and Set Numbers

Two styles of destination board have been created, with (up to) 64 destinations to cover real LBSCR destinations, Great Western Levels, and Portshaven branch. Information will be in the manual!

The earlier (pre-1900s) style we chose was the large boards above guard doors on the D45:

Which were later replaced by smaller boards in the central bolection:

For the convenience of the user, these features can be applied to the whole consist by adding a * at the end of the rail vehicle number flag. Again, the manual will tell all!

Set numbers are only covered for the 1900s livery and onwards:

Some Action Shots

Finally, here are a couple of pics of the coaches in action.

Please remember everything you see here is work in progress. -GAD Harry
