Description
Covering the whole working day, this is set in the summer of 1950. You’re in control of the hub of the Cornish china clay industry: the engine shed and yards at St Blazey and the yard and docks at Fowey, together with the junction at Par between the GWR main line into Cornwall and the branch to Newquay and the various china clay branches, and the junction at Lostwithiel where the other branch from Fowey meets the main line; this gives you three screens, all busy at times. You can choose between increasing difficulty levels, also a choice of Sunday, weekday or Saturday schedules. There is a fair bit of local goods traffic, particularly to/from the clay branches, and substantial daily through passenger and freight traffic, particularly on Saturdays. Keeping the traffic moving is not easy on ordinary days, but becomes close to impossible on a Summer Saturday with holiday extras, especially if at harder levels you find yourself dealing with heavy delays to arriving trains due to congestion east of Plymouth.
You have control of the shed at St Blazey, and have to ensure engines receive coal and water as necessary. As usual bonus points are available for allocation of locos of the correct type, and for correct placement of incoming freight.
By popular request, this is an abbreviated version of our East Cornwall 1950 simulation, cut down from 16 screens to just three, but still with plenty to do.
