Here is a list of all the workshop scenarios for the route.

No problem.

Hello Railfan. Good to know you like this route. I like to use the Apple Green LNER locos on this route. Thanks for your comments.

This is a fun little branch line route, perfect for giving my little engines a good run (my E2, although not prototypical for the area, looks especially good on the line). The J70 steam tram will go nicely on this line!

Hello thelocoman. Thanks for the comments. Glad to know you are enjoying the route.

Just run the branch with an LNER N2,a couple of coaches and milk tanks-great stuff-most enjoyable-a couple of bottles of Masham ale helps!!!

Hello Barrie. Glad to hear you like the route. There have been a number of scenarios published for this route which you might like to try. Enter 'Stoke Ferry' in the search box and you will get a full listing.

Very nice, Thank you.

Thanks.

Hallo Magnumdong. If you don't have the Riviera Line you will be missing quite a lot of scenery items such as trees, buildings, fences, lights, etc.

What do i need the riviera line for?

Hi Peter. Thanks for subscribing to the scenarios. It's always good to hear that they are appreciated.

Like the 8 scenarios very much

Yes tried that very good, thanks

Hi Peter. I'm pleased to hear you like the route. In case you don't know I have since published a free roam scenario for this route called Stoke Ferry Free Roam.

Quite a nice little route. Thank you.

Hi Paul. Many thanks for playing my scenarios and commenting especially the diesels which I know you are not so keen on.

Hi Heyjoe,
Just completed TDC 64 and 65. As always, an enjoyable run for both scenarios.
Regards, Paul

Hi again Heyjoe,
Thanks for mentioning my scenario in your last comment, I need all the publicity I can get !
I Have already subscribed to your latest 2 scenarios, TDC 64,65 and will be playing them soon.
Have already done the others.
Regards, Paul

To all subscribers. For this route I have now published 6 standard scenarios (Train Driver Challenge 60, 61, 62, 63, 64 and 65) and a free roam scenario called Stoke Ferry Free Roam. There is also another very good scenario publshed by pparnis called Goods/Passenger using J50.

Hi Heyjoe,
That's great news, so I can now make my scenario on the finalised route, but think I may try your 2 scenarios first, as you can probably teach me a lesson or two !
Regards, Paul

This route has now been made Final and I have published two scenarios. Look for Train Driver Challenge 60 and Train Driver Challenge 61.

Hi Paul. Thanks for your comments. I can make those changes. I know there are some other mis-match items most notably models of road vehicles. I am, however, somewhat limited by the assets which are available.

Hi Heyjoe,
Hope you don't mind but there are a couple of observations I made whilst testing my interim scenario on your "Stoke Ferry" route, so thought I would mention them before you make the route final.
1. There are men wearing high visibility jackets and hard hats by the lineside.
2. There are John Deere tractors visible.
I am fairly sure that neither of these 2 items would appear in the 1960's which is the era used for this route.
These are merely observations and do not bother me in the least, as they do not stop this route being a most enjoyable branch-line.
However,thought I would point them out, as there are some subscribers who are very aware of anything that is not in keeping with the era in a route/scenario.
Best Regards, Paul

Hi Heyjoe,
Thanks for the information.
I am enjoying further improvements and testing on my scenario for "Stoke Ferry".
Still learning as I progress.
Regards, Paul

Hi Paul. It's not good to rush into making a route final because anything you find afterwards cannot be changed. On the other hand there is actually never a right time because there will always be improvements that could have been made. I have a 1962 locoshed book and it tells me that 60948 was allocated at 31B nearby in March. There were also quite a lot of V2s allocated not far away in 34E New England by Peterborough. It's just for information if we can't use the V2 in published scenarios. By the way I am semi-retired myself.

Hello again "Heyjoe"
Thank you for your reply. I can see you are a busy man, whereas I am now retired and am fortunate enough to have lots of spare time,except when the wife gets the decorating bug !
I appreciate how much design and testing goes into creating a Route,even though I have never created one myself.
Will probably leave out the V2 after your comment, as it may limit the audience to a scenario on your route and also after some research it would appear that there were no V2 locos allocated to any sheds in this area in the mid 1960's.
Anyway, have already enjoyed creating my pre-release scenario on your route and will of course give you any useful feedback that I can.
Looking forward to the final release route,
Best Regards, Paul

Hi Paul. Sorry for the delayed response. I've been away for a week in Madrid. I think the route will be made final in the next few weeks. I need to check for any operational problems such as you mention below although you say you have solved that problem. The locos you list would be very appropriate for this route but the V2 is not currently available in the Steam store so anyone who don't have it already won't be able to get it. I feel honoured that you want to create scenarios for one of my routes.

Hello again Heyjoe,
Please ignore my last comment about a problem creating a scenario on your route.
I was being a dork, did not put the right instructions in.
Sorry to waste your time.
Best Regards, Paul

Hello again Heyjoe,
Sorry to be a pain but I have a question on your route now that I have tried to create a scenario for it.
I am taking a freight train to "Sugar Factory 1A" and un-coupling the consist there.
The next instruction is to drive to "Denver Platform 2" which necessitates reversing from "Sugar Factory 1A" to "Sugar Factory 1B" then across to "Sugar Factory 2A" and hence onto the main line back to "Denver Platform 2".
However, the points (controlled by the game) do not switch to allow me from "Sugar Factory 1B" to "Sugar Factory 2A".
Hope I have explained this correctly.
As I have never created a route, I have no idea whether this is a simple fix or not.
If simple, could you please amend but if not I will change my scenario accordingly.
Many thanks,
Regards, Paul

Hi Heyjoe,
Have you any rough idea when you will make this route final ?
It looks great to me as it is and I have an idea for a scenario.
Need to do some research to decide what locos etc. to use but thought of using a K1 Peppercorn with a freight and a passenger train, and A.I. using V2, B1, 04, J94 locos would be appropriate.
Regards, Paul

Sure, every man has his opinion about "loops"... But i just feel like it's... Sorry if it offends you, but i ussualy made loops when i played with my small model trains. it was a "railroad" looping constantly. When i look back, i take it as the "that's what i did when i was younger" kind of thing. about the scenery... I would love to add more, if only i knew how - to proper.

Hi Revarnes. Obviously I can do routes with end stations but this route is about the branch line the loops are just a means of having continuous movement on the through main lines. I like to keep the scenery simple but effective. Please feel free to add more scenery if you want to.

Hello Heyjoe. Just out of curiosity, will you do different routes? Like instead of the ends of the routes being "circle" make it an Ending station. And what about Scenery? It seems to be very short and not much to see at one spot..?

Your welcome Joe.

Hi brando. I have found the water troughs and have learnt to use them on the 50's Riviera route. Thanks for the tip.

It comes with the 50's Riviera and I think there's a forum post on how to set it up.

Hi brando. I'm pleased to know you like the route. I shall bear in mind what you say about a water trough. I don't think I have a water trough asset though. Where can I find it?

Anoher fun run for the relax days keep it up and my I suggest making a route with a water trough in it because it can make a great challenge run.

Hello Sir. I'm glad you like the route. I have no plans for extensions at present but if the route proves to popular I may be tempted to do so in the future.

Brilliant little route.Will you be expanding this to Lynn,Hunstanton,March and Dereham?

Thanks for the answer. And yes, i did change my name.. Back to original ;)

Hi Revarnes. What's happening, you seem to have changed your name? The Class 31 in Ochre does not come with any route as far as I know.

So it doesn't come along torgether with any Route..?

Hi Aceofsparta. Gosh you make decisions quickly, I only just finished publishing the route! Of course you can make scenarios if you want to but you won't be able to publish them until the route is made final. The diesel locomotive in the picture is the BR Class 31 Ochre which is available in the Store Marketplace.

By the way, how did you get that colour for the diesel locomotive, at picture 7? Somehow, i find it very attractive..

If i find the route enjoyable, and decides to make Scenarios, would that, be alright with you?

I hope you enjoy this route. Any comments will be greatfully accepted.
