CBQ Big Horn 'Sweet Sugar' Switching Scenario

This is an updated scenario for the Big Horn Subdivision route version 3.2 (TS2012): You will be in charge of a wayfreight from Sheridan Yard to the Sheridan sugar factory. Requires some switching in the yard and at the factory. The scenario is set in the late 60s, when the CB&Q was still running the Big Horn line. Not an easy scenario, requires a bit of experience to handle the heavy 20+ car train with only one SW1200 and do all the switching moves according to the work order.

Two versions of the same scenario are provided, one using free- and payware downloads for the a realistic simulation of the era, and one using only freeware equipment but sacrificing a bit of the realism. A tutorial on how to swap rolling stock with RW_Tools is also included.

Add-ons needed to run this scenario:

Read this if you do not want to download (or buy!) and install quite so many files: With the help of Mike Simpson's (donationware) RW_Tools suite of utilities you can quite easily substitute any piece of equipment used in this or any other scenario. Please read on here for more information about RW_Tools: www.rstools.info
