Nuneaton 1958

Description

Covering the usual 6 am to 10 pm period, this is set in the summer of 1958. Diesel units have taken over most of the Birmingham – Leicester services, but apart from the LMS and SR main line units diesels are otherwise yet to appear. Both weekday and Saturday schedules are provided; effectively this gives you two very different simulations. Passenger services include a busy main line service and locals on all routes except the freight-only line to Ashby and Burton; there are a number of excursions and reliefs at higher difficulty levels. Freights serve the yards, including the Up and Down Trent Valley yards, where many trains terminate or originate, as well as the Abbey Street yard. There are many trip freights serving local collieries, with power supplied by the Nuneaton depot 2B. Detailed freight shunting is included where appropriate. Bonus points are available for allocation of locos from the correct depot and of the correct type, and for correct placement of incoming freight.
