UK Screenshots for Pre BR Blue. High resolution warning.

Trying out a Garratt on the S&C as that's the only suitable playground for it that I have in TRS19. Everything else I have is minor lines and branch lines.
One question though; - is the engine spec intended for use with the steam control set? I tried using it and nothing made any sense.

The enginespec is very much intended for cab mode and works fine here - what issues are you seeing?
 
I've also tried the loco in cab mode, I put 30 loaded coal wagons behind it (using one of Anthony's specs) and was able to keep it going over the S&C at about 40 mph with the safeties lifting. That seems about right to me (although I wouldn't claim to be an expert on steam performance).

In terms of performance I was seeing much the same as Ed has reported so I can in no way fault that. It was just that driving like I usually do with equalising steam pressure between the boiler pressure and the steam chests didn't seem to be possible anymore. I couldn't get the injectors to work or raise the level of coal in the firebox. (sigh) Perhaps I should just stick to driving my small 19th century engines.

My experience is that when you can't add coal or water it's often a cab problem.

Which version of the game are you running it in, and do you have <kuid2:116296:13135:3> which is the latest version of Skippers "LMS 2P class cab"?

I'm running in TRS19 Build 117009 and I have the latest version of Skipper's 2P class cab.

I'm baffled I'm afraid. I have a slightly older version of TRS19 (114800) I keep for testing and I've just downloaded 4969 into that and I can add coal and water in that version.

Just double check you've got the latest version of the bogies installed - there was one which got uploaded before there was a fundamental rethink on how to script the model. If you've got that installed (it was for 47995 I think) rather than the latest version that could cause problems.

I'm running No. 47998 with <kuid:248163:102343> BR(LMR) Beyer Garratt Front bogie - 47998 and <kuid:248163:102344> BR(LMR) Beyer Garratt rear bogie - 47998

EDIT: Nothing ventured, nothing gained, - so I tried doing an EDBR and it worked! The Garratt's engine spec is working perfectly now, - and what a pleasure it is to drive this locomotive.
My apologies for causing you unnecessary worry Anthony.

Wincanton dairy now in game:

It's a bit of a long shot, but does anyone know of any road tankers that could be planted around the dairy? I've found some American ones but I'd like some British tankers that could be seen in the 1950s - I'm not aware of any but there may be some under an obscure name floating around somewhere!

Cheers,

Got an image or two?

Thanks John
