Weardale and Teesdale scenarios

Description
A few years ago, I developed a set of scenarios for the Weardale and Teesdale network. I have since had more ideas for scenarios on this route (inspired in part by the format used by TobBirk), and this collection will house a set of one-shot scenarios that are (normally) not narratively connected to one another.

Please look under each scenario for a list of DLC. Each scenario will come in at least two versions; one will require only the base contents of the route, and the other will have larger DLC requirements (though still reasonable) in order to create a more varied experience.

Enjoy a trip back to (vaguely) the 1950s and 1960s and the age of steam, and sometimes earlier too!
