This update is a new session.

Failed At Mallerstang - Drive session 2 - Hellifield-Hawes Passenger

It is summer 1958. Today you are driving the Hellifield - Hawes and return stopping passenger train. Passenger services from Hawes to Northallerton ceased in April 1954 but the line is still used for other services. A late-running Northallerton parcels train at Hawes will add to your work today. Instead of being able to proceed directly to Platform 1 and simply run around your train ready to return south, you will need to disembark your passengers at Platform 2 and then shunt your carriages to Platform 1.

All services to Hawes will cease in March 1959.

Your train is normally worked by a Class 4MT 2-6-4 Tank Engine, but none was available due to maintenance requirements. Today, you will be driving a Stanier Class 5MT (Black 5) as the replacement engine.

The session commences as you approach Horton-in-Ribblesdale. You will stop all stations to Garsdale, turn your engine and proceed to Hawes. You will then return, again stopping at all stations.

Total session time: 1 hour 50 minutes.

More detailed information is provided in the in-game instruction panels.

30th Jan

This update is a new session.

A 9F heading a rake of anhydrite hoppers has come to a halt at Mallerstang. The stricken train was failed an hour earlier because of a problem with the vacuum-brake ejector. The train is blocking the line and another locomotive must be sent to rescue the stranded train and clear the line. Ride with Gus in the rescue loco or jump on board with any of the other trains in the area to see the results of having to work around the blockage in the line.

All the locos in the session have drivers and orders assigned so you can just go along for the ride, or you can kick the drivers out and take over their roles yourself. If you don’t feel confident with that, there will be some further sessions released in the near future with specific roles for you to undertake.

To run this session you will need;

TS2010 with latest Service Pack installed
Settle & Carlisle Add On, also with the Service Pack installed.
Additional assets and rules as listed in the support document (all freely available)

There will also be a requirement to make a modification to one asset.
Instructions for performing this edit are included and the necessary files are included in this package.

A little later than I hoped, here is our new offering.

This update is a new lorry, namely the Bedford TK.

The TK range replaced the S type in 1959 and was later to be available in a variety of derivatives.

Available with inline four or inline six cylinder petrol and diesel engines the TK was a common sight in the UK throughout most of the 1960s and 1970s, competing with the similar Ford D series.

The three models here are liveried for parcel services operated by British Rail and were created by Andy Kemplen.

One last comment for today......

If you find any issues with any of the content on the website then do please let us know through the forums. Whilst we test things before we release them errors do sometimes slip through and if we haven't noticed them then we won't be able to look at fixing them. We can't promise to resolve any issues immediately but if nobody tells us they have noticed a problem then it will never get fixed.

Thanks,
Mike.

12th Feb

Here’s a novel way to load replenish your steam locomotive’s tender with coal: use a front end loader.

While not common, this method was observed in use at some minor depots in Britain during the 1950s and 1960s.The facility modelled here has full industry interactivity accompanied by loader animation and smoke and sound effects.

A trackside coal staithe with an animated load of 21 tons capacity can be replenished by delivery from an open rail wagon. A tender brought to a stand at trackside post markers will trigger the Weatherill loader into action. The number of 1.5-ton Weatherill bucket loads that can be delivered to the tender is calculated by script. Each animation cycle consists of the Weatherill loading its bucket at the staithe then manoeuvring the bucket load over the tender before dumping it.

This should also prove useful when running steam specials on a modern era route without full coaling facilities.

This tender loader industry was created by Andy Kemplen and Leigh Stokes.

The loader can be found on the additional scenery page, or click the image in the right hand column to go directly to the download page.

To start with this week we'd like to make available the documentation for the Cattle Docks. Releasing these for TC3 users last week made us realise that the guide had not been included with TS2009:S&C as it should have been. This comprehensive guide covers the options in the scripting and includes suggested ways of getting the best from this asset. A download link has been added to the updates page, or it can can be downloaded here as a .pdf file.

The second offering this week is the final variant of the Mk1 passenger carrying coaches we have planned to release.

This version is the RF (Restaurant First) and represents the ones built to diagram 17. Capacity is 24 First Class passengers.

They are available in the usual liveries with interior views.

25th Dec

For our Christmas day update we are pleased to make available a new locomotive to add to the TS2009 fleet.

This Class 45 'Peak' locomotive has most of the usual features to be found on our locos, with changeable headcodes, animated couplers, and crew.

The locomotive was built by Tony Weber (trw1089) with some additional work by Paul Hobbs.

Currently the cab is aliased to the built-in Class 37 cab as we thought you would rather have the loco as it is now than wait for us to build a cab for it as well.

The loco can be found on the additional content page, or click the image in the right hand column to go directly to the download page.

You will also need to download the engine sounds for this loco from the DLS as we do not have permission to distribute that through this site. A link for a direct download from the DLS is included on the page with the loco download.

Finally, Merry Christmas from all the rail-sim.co.uk team and thank you to those who have helped contribute to the continuation of TS2009:S&C. We'll bring you more updates and additions next week.

Our update this week is a new Mk1 coach to add to the collection of rolling stock. This latest variant leaves us just one more of the Mk1 restaurant coaches we are going to model and after they have all been released we will move on to do some livery packs for the existing and new coaches.

These coaches represent the RBK (Restaurant Buffet Kitchen) built to diagram 26. Capacity is 12 passengers.

The coaches can be found on the additional content page, or click the image in the right hand column to go directly to the download page.

More updates and additions next week.

 

11th Dec

There are two parts to this week's update.

The first of these is a fix for the looping door sounds in the Mk1 coaches which occurs under certain circumstances.

There are three files available, one for the blue liveried MK1s, one for the maroon liveried MK1s, and one for the suburban coaches in both maroon and carmine liveries.

You can download the update files as .CDPs from the 'Updates' section of the site. Or click the image in the right hand column to go straight to the page. Be aware that these are quite large files as they contain new versions of every coach included in the S&C pack.

The second part of this week's update is a collection of some more of Andy's vehicles.

The pack contains a bulldozer, a bucket loader, and a pair of tracked farming vehicles with a plough.

This pack can be found on the additional scenery page, or click the image in the right hand column to go directly to the download page

More updates and additions next week.

 

4th Dec

This week's main update is an set of additional sessions.

These 'Homeward bound' sessions were created by Peter Marples (peterat8), ably assisted by Leigh Stokes (Elstoko) and Andrew Howard (AndrewH).

The scenario is that it has been the Hawes Show and you need to go to Garsdale to collect the visitors and return them to Leeds. The route will be busy as due to problems on both the ECML and WCML a lot of traffic has been routed over the S&C.

You can choose either a Class 40 or a Black 5 for your motive power and we've also included a 'Ride' version of each session so you can watch what needs to be done before having a go yourself.

You can download the sessions from the 'Addtional sessions' page under the 'Downloads - Content' section or click the image in the right hand column to go directly to the download page.

The sessions make use of the HTV hopper wagons created by Pikkabird and he has given us permission to distribute them here. We've given them a light going over to make them error-free in TS2009.

You can download the wagons from the 'Addtional wagons' page under the 'Downloads - Content' section or click the image in the right hand column to go directly to the download page.

    14th Nov

    The first item this week is an update for the built-in triple disc shunting signals. The textures for these have been corrupted during the build process and as a result the signals are not displaying correctly.This update fixes that problem.

    The files for this update can be found on the 'Updates' page accessible from the links to the left, or by clicking the picture in the 'Latest Content' column on the right.

    The second offering this week is a new Mk1 coach to add to the collection of rolling stock. This latest variant brings us almost to the end of the types of Mk1 passenger coaches we are going to model and after they have all been released we will move on to do some livery packs for the existing and new coaches.

    The coaches can be found on the additional content page, or click the image in the right hand column to go directly to the download page.

    More updates and additions next week.

    6th Nov

    Two updates for problem assets this week.

    The first of these is the tender for the Britannia locomotive. This has strange textures when viewed in Railyard and the warning flashes on the end of the tender are corrupt when in Surveyor or Driver. This update resolves both problems.

    The second update is for the Semaphore Signal Gantry. This does not show when attempting to place it in Surveyor. This update corrects the issues which were causing this.

    The files for both updates can be found on the 'Updates' page accessible from the links to the left, or by clicking the picture in the 'Latest Content' column on the right.

    More updates and additions next week.

     

    30th Oct

    Hot on the heels of the fix last week for the incorrect coal texture, we have another update for the Aspinall saddle tank locomotive. This one is to resolve the problems experienced with the smoke drifting in all directions.

    The file can be found on the 'Updates' page accessible from the links to the left, or by clicking the picture in the 'Latest Content' column on the right.

    The second item this week is an additional loco version

    This version of the Class 40 with the split headcodes in the green livery with yellow end warning panels was somehow missed from the pack and so is being made available here.

    The file can be found on the 'Additional locomotives' page within the 'Additional content' section. It is accessible from the links to the left, or by clicking the picture in the 'Latest Content' column on the right.

    More updates and additions next week.
