Donner Pass - Together as one scenario

[JohnT]

Find below copy of posting I made on UKTS forum, but was advised to post on here :-

Spotted on Steam via the discussion forum and also a W/Shop scenario. That there was both a scenery enhancement and asset mods available for this route. Being as I hadn't done any playing on this route for ages and do have numerous backups. Decided I'd try these mods out, do recommend them for those who haven't tried them.
Now to the point of this post, cannot recall if this scenario is an original with the route or an addon version. But suspect original as there are both standard and career versions. Has anybody managed to complete it with a final tick for the destination arrival time. The earliest approx time I can get is 15:56 and that is with 77 speeding occurrences. Running with the speed being +/- 0.5 mph of max allowed 25MPH. Even doing extended periods of +0.5-0.9 of the speed limit at no time did the ETA display ever show a declining time but persistently kept increasing it's value.
just wondering JohnT

is this the only DP scenario with this problem or are there others with the same troubles?

What is the name of the scenario John ?

As in the subject title " Together as one (Good Weather)" there is also the same scenario but with the addition of CS ( which I take to mean Career type).

Just done the other option of this scenario, i.e, In bad weather.
This is not a timetabled version. Consequently, not having to have my eyes glued to the speedometer/throttle & Brakes. Was able to stand out front whilst my
co-engineer drove the loco, with minimal input from me. This allowed me to fully appreciate the efforts of the various route scenery developers, and the modified sound and livery modifications. Am re-discovering the Donner Pass anew.

Yes I completed it on time and got a gold badge in the career screen for the scenario.
