WCML Over Shap Scenario Pack 3 (1982 – 1989)

Description:

We return to the classic WCML Over Shap stepping back to the BR Blue period of British Railways with this scenario pack. Contained are ten highly detailed and hands-on scenarios so you can drive classic traction from the Class 31 to the Class 370 Advanced Passenger Train!

Features:

• Services taken from the 1982 and 1989-90 Working Timetables to ensure realistic service patterns and operations;

• Accurate implementation of Emergency and Temporary Speed Restrictions using our blue TSR boards;
