Shunting at Evercreech Junction (3F)

In 1 collection by TobBirk
The Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway
10 items
Description
With all the main traffic being through for the moment, we have some kind of siesta on the line. We'll make use of the time and let you do some shunting at Evercreech Junction and Evercreech New without affecting any main traffic. Duration: about 50 minutes.

You need the following DLC:
- Somerset & Dorset Joint Railway
- West of Scotland Lines (Port Road)
- LMS 3F

Developer's notice:
The shunting moves are so complex that it wasn't possible to add any computer-controlled traffic (unusual for being one of my scenarios!). The auto-dispatcher ended up with stucking trains, signals, switches and even disappearing trains (!), so I decided to make a story out of the missing traffic (that siesta-thing...). Nevertheless I think it has become a nice shunting scenario that is highly enjoyable.

This was a nice exercise on a route I haven't opened in quite a while. Still carries plenty of operating possibilities. The shunting was not too difficult although I would have liked more marshalling orders instead of guided instructions for pickups and drop offs. Either way it is still a good scenario for this old route with an easy to drive steamer.

Thank you very much, John! Oh yes, I used to have some wording problems 8 years ago. ;-)

(Sep - 2022). Really good bit of shunting. Worked very well from end to end.

@david. When you get to Evercreech New the instruction wording is wrong. You drive FORWARD not reverse, and use the cross over you pass just before you enter the station. Then reverse to pick up the wagons.

Hello david, I am afraid I can't really help here. This is one of those faults which occur without a proper reason. Sometimes it helps to save and resume. As soon as the session is reloaded switches or signals change from time to time. All the best, Tob

I'm having a bit of a problem with this scenario and as no-one else seems to have had it I assume it must be down to my set-up. But just in case you have any solution, the problem is that after running up to Evercreech New from Evercreech Junction I'm told to stop at the station, then reverse and switch to the other side of the line. I duly reverse to the other side of the points crossover, but they won't change to allow me to switchand there's no way that I can do it manually. So I can't switch or proceed further with game. Any idea why this might be happening, Tob?
