Description
Covering the whole working day, this is set in the summer of 1953. Your control area covers the ex-North British Railway line (“The Waverley Route”) from Galashiels to St Boswells, Hawick, Riccarton Junction and Longtown, with the junctions for the Peebles, Selkirk, Greenlaw, Kelso, Hexham, Langholm and Gretna branches – nine screens in all. 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, serving local yards, but the main feature is a constant flow of heavy goods trains running through between Edinburgh and Carlisle, many of them through to or from further north. These trains may require banking assistance from Hawick or Newcastleton to the summit at Whitrope, and often pause at Hawick for water or to change crews. There are at least two daily through trains in each direction between St Pancras and Edinburgh, as well as stopping trains between Edinburgh and Carlisle and additional services as far as Hawick. At weekends there may be excursions, and work trains on Sundays.
You have control of the sheds at Hawick, Galashiels, St Boswells and Riccarton Junction, though only Hawick is of any size, and also have to ensure engines receive coal and water as necessary.
