Description
IMPORTANT TO READ THIS BEFORE STARTING
Player DLC: BR Class 33s top & tail 4 x Class 59s

21st January 1986 and 4 Class 59s arrive from USA at Southampton Docks.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Rail_Class_59

In this scenario (which includes ‘Top and Tail’ locomotives) you will be notified to change cabs by pressing ‘Previous Rail Vehicle’ button on the HUD. Try this before starting this scenario. As well because of this, once you have transferred to the rear loco, Ctrl Tab must be used NOT Tab, for one signal approval. Follow my instructions carefully and you should be OK.

During this early sunny winter morning on January 21st 1986: depart with the first 4 new Class 59s newly unloaded from the USA, take them towards Merehead (near Westbury) and the Derby Railway Technical Centre.

Route: Southampton - Salisbury Extension
Duration: 16 minutes Difficulty: Medium to Hard (cab instructions)
Scenario: Standard

Extra DLC to route:
Chatham Main and Medway Valley Lines Route (for the Yeoman Class 59)
BR Class 58
BR Class 31
Class 205 Thumper
BR Blue Diesel Electric Pack
BR Class 50 (Press F2 / Cancel if you do not own this)

I hope you enjoy the scenario. Please leave some feedback. I always reply.

Aha you have done my 'US' in the 'UK' run arktiem.
My research really paid off for this one. Great you appreciated my work in both ways.
I am pleased you enjoyed it. What a loco!
It is great reading about the 'slip test' - using actual banana skins ( think I remember reading) ha ha. On to my next creation - simulating Berlin around the 1970's with DR and DB trains.

This is one of the most interesting 'train' reports you will ever read. Try it. Fascinating.
I read recently that when the new class 66s arrived they had fuel/oil etc and could be driven directly to site!

A truly fun and interesting equipment move! I really enjoyed running this scenario and the link to the Wikipedia page just added so much in fleshing out their arrival and the reason for the move. Another triumph, my friend. I spent time reading the wiki before running this one and it really brought your scenario to life. I cannot thank you enough my friend! Every train simmer owes you so much for the amazing work you do. Take care, my friend, and I'll see you in the next one! :choo::chooo::choooo:

Thank you for that pjohnandlyns. That is a strange one. I will change it straight away.

Hi N.S. Short n sweet with no problems.

One minor point. The route in your description above should read, "Chatham and Medway Valley Route", not Medley.
