[HS]-Some Assembly Required (LMS 4F)

Gedling Colliery, located on the Great Northern Railway’s ‘Back Line’ through Nottinghamshire, was a major source of coal traffic in the East Midlands, often nicknamed ‘the pit of all nations’ owing to the diversity of its workforce. Most of the coal was shipped out by rail, and this meant extensive shunting was often undertaken. On a cold winter morning in 1952, you are at the controls of an ex-LMS 4F that has just arrived at the colliery. The NCB shunter has broken down, and as a result you will need to assist with assembling the coal trains due to head for Annesley later in the day. Take care with the coal trucks-they can be very heavy, a matter not helped by the fact your engine has a steam leak! Duration: about 20 minutes.

DLC Requirements:
Netherfield: Nottingham Network (Thompson B1, Stanier 8F, Robinson O4 and LMS 4F all come bundled with the route; ensure they are installed before trying to run this scenario)
Western Lines of Scotland
European Loco and Asset Pack

Note: the default lighting on this route is rather poor, which can make seeing where one is going difficult. My advice would be to try playing in a darkened room or using the skies from the AP Sky and Weather Pack.

Note 2: I have been informed that this scenario does not depict operations at Gedling accurately. As such, an updated scenario depicting such operations will be uploaded in the coming days.
