Refueling

[shadesman89]

Any scenarios that has a us diesel needing refuel ?

[artimrj]

Sure there are.

[shadesman89]

Sorry but which ones?

[artimrj]

Sorry but I do not know off hand. But there are 203 scenarios in the file library, why don't you try browsing through them and read some of their descriptions. You might find something you like.

And there are thousands of scenarios in the Railworks Workshop. Use the filters to choose country, locomotive, route.

Yes, Chris, but there's no filter for refueling; not that I'm saying there should be. As a scenario writer, I've often included activities such as refueling and loading/unloading, but I know that some folks find them obnoxious. Steam refueling is more interesting because it requires two steps and stopping the loco or tender at the right spot can be quite a challenge. Diesel fuel points tend to offer easier alignment, but those pumps must be atomic powered, since they can refill a loco in just a few seconds. Surely, that can't be authentic?

Some Workshop descriptions include a mention of refueling, but I'm not sure whether a search would find that term; might be worth a few frustrating tries?

Actually, I think there should be more filters for different types of activities. Then again, it took two "upgrades" of TS to get this Workshop working as well as it does, so I don't expect a lot more improvements right now.

And, I like when you or other authors add in fueling/ loading/ unloading activities. Makes the scenario more fun than just driving point A to point B. Shunting, passenger runs, all that stuff is fun, as long as it's not a huge amount of stuff to do.
