Early BN Hospital Run / Big Horn Sub 3.2

A scenario for the Big Horn Subdivision route: You are in charge of delivering several cars from Sheridan Yard to the local hospital. The scenario is set in early BN times, so you will see a lot of 'rainbow' consists. Some tricky switching moves are required for you to complete your work order, but your conductor will help you from time to time. A walkthrough is also included in case you get stuck.

Two versions of the same scenario are provided, one using free- and payware downloads for the most realistic simulation of the early BN time, and one using only freeware equipment but sacrificing a bit of the realism.

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.
