N.S187 The Calne Branch - Chippenham 'Gronk' Yard Duties

Description
Early 1960s, and 'Warship' D800 is about to enter Chippenham Station on the Bristol to London Mainline on a driver training duty.

Route: The Calne Branch (Workshop by philip)
Duration: 15 minutes
Scenario: Standard
Extra DLC: Western Hydraulics Pack, Riviera Line in the Fifties

You start with your 'Gronk' dropping off your brake van.

You then have to drop of the rest of your wagons - with some at the Bacon Factory.

A double headed freight goes towards Bristol.

Then you have to pick up one coal wagon and two carriages for Calne.

Reverse, and then after a 4-6-0 Castle blasts through the station up the 1:300 towards Swindon, you can crossover into the small dead end platform.

I hope you enjoy this different scenario based at Chippenham.

I just checked the 'F' class, and got quite a surprise - to me an Aussie version of the gronk. I didn't know something like it was here. Ha ha so you drove one of them too. I spent hours watching the equivalent. My dad worked at the Westinghouse Brake & Signal Company at Chippenham. Stupidly I never made sure I travelled on this branch before it closed. Great to have the route to create on though. Glad you enjoyed it.
