Hello snapper50,

This scenario only works with the Intercity Executive class 87 downloaded from the steam store (plus virgin re-skin). The scenario does not work with the WCML over Shap class 87. If this was not the problem, and you have all requested dlc, then I can't detect the problem for you, I 'm sorry. Glad you're enjoying the series! Perhaps I will make another 'Branson' Series, as soon as I obtained the new Rugby to Stafford Line.

It does not matter how many times you try you will always fail this scenario. You are driving a class 87 (top speed 110mph) not an HST, voyager or Pendelino and always you will arrive at Glasgow Central at least 10 to 15minutes late. Getting slowed down by 2 frieght trains before looping them and getting diverted at Motherwell does not help.

Thanks very much so far for your feedback Rockdoc! About the time table, I will look into creating more passing-points to keep the train on schedule. Also I was thinking about a version without the need of a class 57, maybe I will add this one later to the workshop. I hope you will enjoy the next episodes as well, and I am thinkin of creating some others, maybe on the GWML or ECML or Bristol to Exeter.

I was a just a shade disappointed with this episode. The building blocks were every bit as good as before and the storyline flows just as well but I ended up 6 minutes late at Glasgow because I didn't run at maximum north of Lockerbie. The ETAs tended to suggest I could run at a slower speed than was actually required. I would have liked at least one timetabled intermediate passing-point to help keep to the schedule.

A niggle: the player's 87 needs turning round or the game thinks you're travelling in reverse and TAB becomes Ctrl+TAB.

I don't own the curent 57 but I do have the original Oovee/Steam version so I substituted that using the invaluable RW_Tools. The FEAs can be directly subbed by those from the freightliner Class 66 v2 pack but they will be unloaded by default. Overall, another good effot.
