----------------------------------------

Welcome to Part 5, last of the series. This is a regular weekly summer tour run from North Fork to Circus City.  This is primarily single-track so traffic will definitely be a factor.  Try to keep the passengers as comfortable as possible. This was designed to run approximately 3-5mph below the posted speed unless otherwise directed. The timing is critical, but speed is not. If you are ahead you will wait, if you get behind you may be permanently stopped. If you watch carefully, you will many of the trains on the opposite hillside in different places. I did not use many loose consists in order to keep the fps up as much as possible, but there are many AI trains which seems to release memory when completed.

 

COMMENTS:

Speed limits are: yards-15mph, sidings 30, Main 45 or posted.

Remember it takes 2.4 miles to stop this unit with 15lbs from speed.

Don't forget to tab for red if needed (but don't tab at Kornerton or CRASH .. it is not a stop and proceed).

Do not leave the stations early.

Remember, it takes 2.4 miles to stop this train from speed with 15lbs reduction.

If you get an AI stalemate, often times you can back up a bit to prompt the AI to go ahead, or go slightly forward to trigger the one behind you.

 

Use F10 as needed for station information and can use the '7' key in many places if you want to see what is going on while loading.
