New Scenario on 'Powerhouse'

It's been a while but the release of MaxTracks' excellent new Leeds North West - Airedale & Wharfdale Lines route prompted us to release a new scenario for our 'Powerhouse' app at www.trainsimscenarios.com. It sees you drive a Valenta powered GNER HST on a warm July evening between Leeds & Skipton in 2006.

With over 100 scenarios now available on 'Powerhouse', it's a great place to easily find a scenario that suits you. With the ability to filter by year, train, route, and at a glance see if you have all of the requirements needed for the scenario to work, there is no better way to enjoy a scenario hassle free.

The Workbench

With Toby & Pablo quietly beavering away on the Corby Midland Mainline extension, we have taken this time to work on a first for us, a wagon enhancement pack!

Using the FEA-B & KTA wagons from DTG's Southampton to Bournemouth route, and IKA wagons from DTG's Class 92, the Container Wagon Enhancement Pack Vol. 1 enhances the following aspects of these wagons:

- New audio as heard in our Wagon (Flat) & Wagon (Old) Sound Packs

- Proper braking physics and separate loaded/unloaded versions with more realistic weights

- Existing liveries visuals improved as well as a new GBRf livery for the FEA-B & EWS livery for the IKA

- 20ft & 40ft containers/tanktainer from our FSA/FTA Wagon Pack provided as an option for all three wagons (only 40ft containers & tanktainer on IKA)

- Brand new 45ft containers with 14 different liveries for the IKA

Whilst to date it has been tempting to use the FSA/FTA Wagon Pack for all container workings, regardless of the accuracy to a particular working or operator, this enhancement pack offers a lot more scope for realistic consists.

We expect this pack to be released shortly in the new year.

We leave you with some screenshots.
