@Fairrosamund I think there's a way to set up a route within a scenario for that to work. Let me do some experiments.

It would be a good idea with your proposed new scenario.If it started with the arrival at Sheffield by a steam engine then a change over to electric traction before commencing the journey to Manchester.

@ash Glad you enjoyed. This route was in dire need of some decent scenarios.

@Fairrosamund An EM2 it is, then.

Enjoyed this scenario, well done. I was doing 60.8 mph at the end using the same settings as pjohn, but pressure in red. Good run thanks for sharing.

This may help your decision,back in the day when I travelled to Sheffield the steam engine which pulled us to Sheffield was always taken off at Victoria and a electric engine attached for the journey "over the hill" to Manchester and vise versa upon the return journey.

@tonix Glad you enjoyed.

autentic part of London Marylebone to Sheffield Victoria expres with great AI.
all works well and V2 was a strong Biest.
thank you

@Fairrosamund I have plans to make a set for the Woodhead route, so a run of the Master Cutler is certainly on the books. Not sure whether to have an EM2 or A3 powering it, though.

This scenario brings back happy memories of when I was a kid and used to travel with my parents to Marylebone on the up "Master Cutler"express.Spend the day sightseeing around London and then return home on the down Cutler.Always pulled by a clean V2 or A3 off Darnall shed.Many thanks for sharing this one......

@chris The London Extension of the Great Central would be such an obvious choice for a steam-era route it honestly surprises me that nobody has tackled it. Maybe I'll suggest it to Golden Age Developments...

Great to have an express loco run up the line and the V2 copes well. It really is a great shame the route doesn't take us through to Sheffield. As pjohnandlyns says plenty of nice AI - good to see the Black Fives well represented. Kind Regards. Chris

@pjohnandlyns That's better than my test run; speed had dropped to 57 with the injectors open.

Hi H.S. Ran very well with no problems and plenty of AI's etc to hold the interest.
Passed the end at 64 mph with 90% reg; 26% C/off and pressure in the green.:steamhappy::steamthumbsup:
