Description : PRESFLOS FOR FELIXTOWE for London, Tilbury and Southend (LTS) V2 route Pt4 Woodgrange Park Junction to Tilbury Description: Part 4 of an activity of 4 independent parts (separate downloads) spanning 2 routes, “London, Tilbury and Southend v2” (LTS) by Michael Beere for parts 1 & 4 and Making Tracks (MT) “Great Eastern V1.3” (GE) (NOT v2) for parts 2 & 3. Each part is run separately i.e. if you do not have GE but have LTS you can just run the LTS, parts 1 & 4 and visa versa GE parts 2 & 3. Set around 1958 to 1962, when the greatest diversity of motive power was in use. On GE Electricity had moving in on steam for the suburban services and diesel was encroaching on steam services on the mainline, but all were there alongside each other. Within the limits of stock, liveries available and periods of the routes design, I hope to have captured the feel of the routes at that time. Maybe the actual locos didn't roll on Essex rails, but members of their class did, maybe the livery is not right for the period, it would have been were it available. Poetic license has been necessary in places; I just had to make do with what there was. Oh, unfortunately, the activity being set around 1960 (+/-2), LTS even earlier and the GE track work set in 1980 there were many changes about which there is nothing I can do. Even if it was GE V2 and the era changer was used, it wouldn’t change that. If you could join them together the four parts would take you on a double headed freight run from Tilbury, via Stratford where you change ends before taking off in the opposite direction to Ipswich, your destination. After offloading, you couple up to your return load and head back the way you came again via Stratford once more you change ends and head back towards the LTS. Down the Tilbury branch to Purfleet to drop your consist then head for home at Tilbury. Park the BV you took with you, park your helper loco in the shed then park your loco next to it and you are done. Keep your head down though, the boss is about and if he catches you he may have a little job for you. Please note: IF YOU HAVE ALREADY DOWNLOADED PART ONE AND THE ITEMS ON THE STOCK LIST, NO OTHER STOCK IS REQUIRED. Apart from the Great Eastern Route plus all its free updates to v1.3, this activity requires NO PAYWARE. All stock is available from UKTS or trainsim.com FREE downloads. A stock list is provided with a cut & paste version for quick entry. The download list for this activity may seem long, but it provides variety in the passing traffic. I find it boring to see the same few trains pass time and time again. You may as well watch Thomas the Tank engine (or whatever) go round an oval of track. The class 31s D5501 and D5541 need to be changed to 'Chain' and 'Vacuum-Single_Pipe' respectively. As always, read the READ_ME file first. Thanks to slipperman12 (LTS and GE) and douglee (LTS only) for testing, help, encouragement and support. Thanks also to all those who have contributed the fruits of their labours which have made this activity possible with the many items we can freely download and use from UKTS and the other Train Simming resource sites.
