Hi there Highball Simulation.
I am looking forward to you creating a scenario with a large Prairie then?
Great you managed it. I must try another one in my current collection. Cheers

That climb was absolutely brutal-it certainly pushed my skills to the limit. Interestingly, I googled banking operations on Sapperton and found that often Large Prairies were assigned this sort of work, though I did find a photo of what appeared to be an ancient Taff Vale loco banking a freight.

Hello robmerlo. It took me a lot of attempts to get the correct number of wagons that would just allow getting up and over the top. That is why it has a banker.
Great you did complete it, after a few attempts. There are only a few places where a steam banker can be used (and is relevant), on any of the routes, and this is one of the best locations for a challenge - as it was in real time. This is only the second time I have made the banker the 'player's' loco. It doesn't work perfectly, but it is acceptable.

Hi Not.Silent, OK thanks, I don't have that and it's not on sale right now, so I'll have to unsubscribe.

Hi Scouser888. It seems for these wagons you must have the LNER Peppercorn K1 class.

I'm sorry but, although it doesn't stipulate same in the DLC requirements, apparently I am missing: (the type is really small and it's very hard to read), 1. TresAA_SteelPlate. 2. POWagon_5_ BR_Stone, 3. POWagon_5_BR_Coal. 5. POWagon_6_BR_Coal. I have no idea what any of this means, and there is no train on the tracks. I do have the Western Hydraulics Pack. Not.Silent, can you please clarify? If not, I have to unsubscribe.

Good on yer Scouser888.

OK, 'God hates a coward', so I'm going to give this one a try.
