Caledonia Works offering their CR library for free (limited time)

[LeapingRodent]

Just a little heads up for people who are unaware. From their Facebook page:

"Hello everyone, I know right now a lot of people are scared, anxious and worried about the future. My prayers are with everyone one of you and we will make it out of this "pandemic". I also know a lot of people are needing some happiness & joy right now and although true happiness & joy can only come from Jesus, I'd like to sow a little happiness into your lives. I have decided to make every single Caledonian Railway DLC on Caledonia Works completely free until Friday. That way you may be able to take your mind off of the world for a bit and enjoy some trains instead. I know its not much but I only want people to be happy, especially right now during these hard times. I love you guys and you all will continue to be in my prayers and I would like to thank you for all your love & support for me as an artist. - Kris

Every single locomotive & rolling stock under Caledonian Railway is completely free using code (using all caps) : PSALM91

https://www.caledoniaworks.com/

The CR DLC will be back on sale on friday.

Some encouragement I leave you from Psalm 91 (The message translation)

Psalm 91 The Message (MSG)

91 1-13

You who sit down in the High God’s presence,
spend the night in Shaddai’s shadow,
Say this: “God, you’re my refuge.
I trust in you and I’m safe!”
That’s right—he rescues you from hidden traps,
shields you from deadly hazards.
His huge outstretched arms protect you—
under them you’re perfectly safe;
his arms fend off all harm.
Fear nothing—not wild wolves in the night,
not flying arrows in the day,
Not disease that prowls through the darkness,
not disaster that erupts at high noon.
Even though others succumb all around,
drop like flies right and left,
no harm will even graze you.
You’ll stand untouched, watch it all from a distance,
watch the wicked turn into corpses.
Yes, because God’s your refuge,
the High God your very own home,
Evil can’t get close to you,
harm can’t get through the door.
He ordered his angels
to guard you wherever you go.
If you stumble, they’ll catch you;
their job is to keep you from falling.
You’ll walk unharmed among lions and snakes,
and kick young lions and serpents from the path.

14-16

“If you’ll hold on to me for dear life,” says God,
“I’ll get you out of any trouble.
I’ll give you the best of care
if you’ll only get to know and trust me.
Call me and I’ll answer, be at your side in bad times;
I’ll rescue you, then throw you a party.
I’ll give you a long life,
give you a long drink of salvation!” "

the code worked for a while but now it say invalid discount

[LeapingRodent]

It should work until Friday. It only applies to the CR stock that shows up in the "LMS" category though. If you're trying to apply the code to anything other than those then it will show as invalid.

[cuavas]

Can confirm it works for all the CR locos in the LMS section. I got all 15 of them. It doesn’t work for the LNWR Coal Tank, but that doesn’t have CR in the name, so figures. Now I just need to work out how to install 3rd-party content, and find time to drive all these kettles.

[cuavas]

Also works for CR/LMS 6W Coaches and CR Wagon Pack 1 in the Rolling Stock section.

As this is a very generous gesture by Kris, I suggest that we do not get too greedy and limit ourselves to 2 or 3 downloads each. In fact I think Kris should have put a limit on the number of downloads per person.

If everyone takes full advantage of this offer it could affect CWs future sales, thus possibly slow the output of their wonderful product.

I know times are hard atm but we all know the value of the 3rd party devs and should support them when we can.

Show your support for Kris by not being greedy.

Thank You very much for your generosity. May God Bless your soul.

Thank you very much. I downloaded two files free and decided to pay for the third so as not abuse your generosity. A very much appreciated gesture. Had not heard of your outfit and will visit again.

DebonaireFuture - I did try and post a media fire link to the route but it was not allowed

I could have downloaded more but I think downloading his entire library would be a bit much, so I'll be honest and just take two. :)

Fantastic gesture from yourself Kris . Many thanks .

I would encourage people ( if they can afford to, in these trying times ) to pick up something from the Caledonia Works store , no matter how small , as a thank you .

Also , ( this coming from a non steam era guy ) , the trains , carriages + rolling stock are all excellent !!

[Cat]

Thank you Kris for your very generous giveaway, I hope ppl were not too greedy. I'm enjoying "Smokey Joe" and will be buying your Southern locos.
Your work is up there with the very best and I hope the exposure with the free offer will bring you the success you deserve.

My Best and stay healthy.
