Coals for Castle Douglas (8F)

Thank you very much, love879. Best regards, Tob

Good one. Thank you

Hello Chris, thank you for your detailed feedback. I am happy that you like this scenario! I had the same problems and slightly reduced the scenery objects in the settings of TS. But just like you said: all this crash-dump-stuff should be gone with the 64bit version of TS! Best wishes, Tob

I can't believe it - I had a Dump crash 3 miles before my arrival back at Dumfries and because I was so engrossed in the scenario I had clean forgotten to save it!! I will wait until the ts2019 upgrade is done on Thursday and then try again. Hopefully the reports are correct and File dumps may be a thing of the past. I must say though that I totally enjoyed the scenario up to that point and will certainly try it again.

Thank you so much for your nice and detailed feedback, Roland BP! I am happy to hear that you've succeeded and even learned to handle that beast properly. :-) All the best, Tob

Wow, now that was a great scenario.
I learned a thing or two about keeping steam up in this loco on the uphill. I got stuck after that first grade from Maxwell town. So I found I needed the blower on full and the firebox door open until I was at full steam. Then I made sure I kept the firebox heat at 90^ or more to keep the pressure up. AI8 got held up behind me until I made the top of the grade, but then I was away and never held it up again.
I never made it to Castle Douglas until 9pm.
The drive back was so much easier., except for the cold, what a night for the turntable to be out of action.
Once I got back to the depot I went home and had a hot shower

Thank you very much, rdp42! Best regards, Tob

Thanks for another great run on the best route on TS. Presumably this was winter with the snow etc., but it was very light still at 2100 hrs!!

Thank you Selwyn, I'm glad you liked this scenario! :-D All the best, Tob

Another great run, many thanks.
