English Teamwork 2 planning and discussion

[Sascha Claus]

’n Ahmdchen,

after a long time, I’ve uploaded a new, “full” version (no. 41). It contains a new stabling yard for the high-speed trains west of Clydeshire Airport station, which is decorated with a prototype for an ICE-G (goods) for high-speed goods trains along the high-speed line. Also sketched is a goods bypass line for Torkham and parts of a new container terminal for that area, and the renewed logfile was uploaded as well.

Hello,

Thanks for the update. Would you be able to upload an updated sc-english.nfz to the drive? I get the following error:

Affected trains are mostly high speed trains in the airport, but also two IR20 trains.

[Sascha Claus]

:-O
But difficult to do so now, from the other end of the country. All I can do is to wonder which trains of IR20 might be affected and how.

I did attach all user graphics files to the NT3 file. Can you delete all sc-english... files from the directory with the network file and load it again?

[1993matias]

It's the same error that has bugged me for ages now, it's nothing new

I did what you asked, and now it complains about "Vehicle set number = 8" instead, everything else is the same

[Sascha Claus]

If you do this often enough, it might work its way forward to vehicle set number = ‐1. I'll be back home this evening, so I'm going to fix this.

’n Evening,
I’ve repackaged the sc-english.fz2 and sc-english.fz4 files and uploaded them to the Google Drive into the “User-defined graphics for the layout” folder. If you delete all files starting with “sc-english…” and place the three new files there, it should work.

[1993matias]

You are right! It's at 0 now



This time it's all the auto train cars that are affected in addition to some other wagons. The amount 244 probably refers to the double decker coaches you've repainted. Routes affected in order are:

Code: Alles auswählen

SC-CS1      SC-CS2
SC-ICE30D
SC-IR2      SC-Tha-½     SC-Tha-i½
SC-Scene (only one train)
SC-ICE30D   SC-Tha½      SC-Tha-i½
SC-IC1      SC-IC11      SC-IC12C      and many more
SC-IC2      SC-IC4       
SC-IR20
SC-IC2

[Sascha Claus]

Looks like I smashed everything this time … :-\

Are you loading the NT3 file with all user files attached? Maybe some weird black magic caused by cross-pollination between different files? Well, I’ll see to it when I’m next.

Quick question, can I expect a new version from you before tomorrow?

[Sascha Claus]

Mooorning,

Quick question, can I expect a new version from you before tomorrow?

I was expecting a version from you on Saturday and got nothing, so I thought you were working through the weekend.

But if you didn’t do anything, I can offer a version I was secretly preparing to copy it in at a later date. It should now be available on the Drive.

It contains two hourly container block train routes Torkham – border at Farris, one of them will be extended to Clydesgow at a later date. Both form a nice half-hour interval, are moving from the goods bypass onto the mainline directly after the IC and manage to reach Farris shortly before the next IC is catching up.⁠ This should be sufficient to keep your container terminals busy for some time. Another route every two hours (with no additional direct service from Clydesgow) will follow in the footsteps of the IR to Bordele.

If you would like to reduce frequency at night and/or during passenger rush hours or want more or fewer trains, just say so!

We’ll see if I get a marshalling yard up and running within a decade.

There was not enough progress to provide a finished and error-free new version, so I simply kept at it for a little bit. The weekend was busy anyway, so no worries about you building. I'll take your version and paste in my changes.

Great! I'll try to see if I can get the container trains all the way to the container terminal/port. Thanks!

New version 42 uploaded (as a continuation of version 41½)!

A new line has started operating in Montspoor: RE1/R11
This line connects Coates Continental southest towards the cities of Titchwell, Willey, and Walcote. RE1/R11 use older rolling stock - although modernized - with driving cabs that feature gangways. During rush hours some trains are extended with three additional wagons for 235 metres long trains. The gangway through the driving cab car allows for passengers to walk through it when there are more wagons connected. (It was a pain to make all the shunting work).
An updated schedule is available on the Drive

Preparations have also been made for S41 towards Titchwell and Alderton along the RE1/R11 line, as wel ass for IC1 on part of its route towards Bordele.

Enjoy your trip with Montspoor Railways!

’n Evening,

made from reused parts of IC3 trains?

(It was a pain to make all the shunting work).

I’ll gonna look how well it works.

Not yet mentioned: I changed the running in the No-man’s-land between Farris and Torkham and on the northern half of the Torkham goods bypass to right-hand side, as this fits better with Montspoor and the Inverfyne Mainline (Torkham – Inverfiyne city). Same will be done to the coming lines from Torkham to northeast (Bordele) and northwest.

The remainder of Clydeshire and Inverfyne region will remain wrong-hand side running, as befits an English Teamwork.

And just in case you didn’t already notice: my container block trains are 42 elements (750m), formed of one locomotive and 31 wagons. Would you like something shorter for Bordele, like 32 elements (500m)?

[1993matias]

Would you like something shorter for Bordele, like 32 elements (500m)?

No, full length are just fine. No freight yard capacity has been set up in Bordele yet, so it should be easy to adapt

[1993matias]

Just for the fun of it: Here is a map of current and future planned S-train services around Coates


I apologize for the abysmal handling of lines in downtown Coates
Blue line (S10, S11, and S12) is fully operational
Red line (S10, S21, and S22) is fully operational
Green line (S30 and S31) is fully operational

All other lines are not in operation yet
