The North Lincolnshire Route   
by John Kirk

This page has the latest version of the route, updates and fixes - as well as extra scenarios made for the route.

I will be happy to host any scenarios made for this route - use the "Contact" page to get details

The Main route: North Lincolnshire v05-2020

Updated Version: 14th May 2020

3rd July 2020

John Kirk has made another update available on his site as of August 4th 2020 This is mainly cosmetic alterations which I have decided not to host. 

John advises only those new to the route to bother to download the August version:  http://www.lincs-train-sim.co.uk/

Because of the size of the route I (Wotawally) have decided to split the download into three parts. You need all three parts for the route to run correctly.

The Route

Latest News

I did say that I wouldn’t add any more lines, but the route south of Boston station petered out in an unsatisfactory way, so I have added the lines in Boston Docks, and those coming off the main line towards Spalding and Peterborough.  No existing scenarios should be affected.  The line towards Sleaford has also got the relevant scenery too.


Apologies in advance: I’ve been concentrating on the route.  Although the scenarios work on my computer, I have been lax in not giving details of stock required .... and some of them are very under-developed.  You will be able to run your own versions, or if you want to develop some of mine that need developing, then please feel free to do so, publish them and put your name to them.

Fix to prevent TS2020 crashing on exit

Since the update to TS2018 some files have been causing the game to crash on exiting a scenario. One such file is in the RichardMaxted folder and will affect any route that uses his Narrow Gauge assets.
I have fixed the file affected by the TS2018 update and you can



Just unzip the file and drop it into your railworks folder

Quick Drive now available for the route:   NLincs_QD_v2.rwp

These Wotawally made Quick Drives cover just about the whole area of the route. I have not included any AI or Static Consists at the moment because of the complexity of the network and I am not sure how to achieve what I ideally want.
Also, because of the number of options for different parts of the route it has been impossible to check every one. Please report any problems with pathing etc to me, and I will attempt to sort them out.

Scenarios

Leicester-Skegness Summer Special

by Rudolf Hucker


Tested  with v09-2017

In high summer, on Saturdays only, an EMT HST sets off from Derby bound for the seaside town of Skegness. It is the last vestige of numerous loco-hauled services that, every summer Saturday, would bring thousands of holidaymakers from Industrial towns across the Midlands, South Yorkshire, Manchester and even a service from King's Cross then, after a swift turnaround, carry thousands back at the end of their week by the sea.

From just outside Boston you will take the train to Skegness, run around and prepare for the return working. AI traffic at Skegness is unprototypicaly light as I was unable to get it to work properly no matter
how much I fiddled.
