N.S119 Riviera 1963 - Exeter to Newton Abbot Summer Saturday - hydraulics and Atlantic Coast Express

A warm school holiday summer Saturday Class 42 hauled passenger, starting just north of Exeter.

Route: The Riviera Line in the Fifties
Duration: 42 minutes
Scenario: Standard
Extra DLC: Western Hydraulics Pack and the Rebuilt Bulleid Light Pacific

Take your 'Warship' Class 42 passenger into Exeter St Davids, and stop at the far end of the platform just beyond the Bulleid Pacific.

You will have to wait for it to pull the Atlantic Coast Express east and up the 1:37 incline to Exeter Central.

A Pannier comes down the incline and it too crosses your path.

You depart at 12:05:00.

You then go south west towards Newton Abbot. First stop - on this all stops holiday passenger, is Exeter St Thomas.

Then off to Exminster, which is quite busy today.

Next stops, Starcross, Dawlish Warren and then Dawlish. A lot of 'holiday makers' are walking the sea wall or having a swim.

The penultimate stop is Teignmouth, and then briskly off to Newton Abbot.

You will have to brake early, and stop at the end of Hackney sidings, and then again as you move slowly towards Newton Abbot.

With train movements all around, it is an exciting entry.

Then off - to stop at the far end of the platform.

To get the most out of this scenario I suggest accelerating as quickly as possible so: go to notch 5 and go to 25 mph (to avoid wheel slip) and then 100%.

Also I suggest braking quite severely - service up to 98% and then ease off, and then repeat after a few seconds to get speed down quickly, otherwise the brakes are a bit 'spongy'.

I hope you enjoy this GWR / Southern, early/mid Sixties Devon recreation.
