Now that most of the kinks have hopefully been ironed out on my latest version of F&WVJR - St.Ives, I decided to sit down the other night and run some trains down the line for a change, particularly to run in Barney's new Grouping era Flatbeds. The following screenshots show K tank No.617 on a down slow goods train from St.Ives to Armadale (into the Flockton Portal as the rest of the line hasn't been made for Trainz yet).
On the Down slow line passing St.Ives Loco depot:
Arriving at Thrornton Junction traversing the mainline into the goods yard:
Shunting movements at Thornton Junction dropping off wagons bound for Horwood Junction and swapping them with wagons bound for Danglish and Armadale:
Having departed Thornton Junction, the train makes its way uphill beyond Thornton Tunnel towards Danglish:
After arriving at Danglish, 617 makes numerous shunting manoeuvres delivering a LMS vent van with Fertilizer sacks, an Ex-NSR 6 plank, and GWR Fruit van into the siding adjacent to the loading platform. These are traded for 2 wagons loaded with wool bales bound for Armadale where they'll be shunted into a larger consist bound for the harbour at Flockton.
With the shunting now complete, 617 makes haste to clear the section in a bid to avoid delaying the down passenger train in the block behind it.
Now having arrived at Kelpie's Crossing, 617 shunts the majority of the consist into the goods yard in preparation to take the trailing open plank wagons on a shunt up to Gravel Hill Colliery, returning with a rake of loaded coal wagons.
Having completed the shunt at the colliery and depositing the loaded wagons bound for St.Ives in the sidings, the final consists for this section of the route crosses over the points back onto the down line.
Kind Regards,
Noah
