So, first of all: a confession. I've been aware of Duchy Days for a while, but for some reason it wasn't until a couple of months ago that I actually downloaded it. Boy, was I missing out! I love the little details, like the A{O,B}CLs out on the Tregullow branch.

Talented is probably not the right word, but now available on the DLS is
<KUID:306203:100364>, a small automatic passenger session I've pieced together since I downloaded Duchy Days. It started life as a very very late 80s (so late 80s, it was, in fact, mid 90s) session, but in the last couple of weeks I was inspired to wind it back and it should now sit reasonably comfortably in the 80s*, like the route itself. The core of the session is portal-spawned passenger services that cover the entire route - mainline, branches and even the steam railway. The timetable is of my favourite clock-face kind and spawns the following at both ends of the mainline:
- Minute 00: Cross Country express calling at Exbridge and Newton Bay only
- Minute 15: All stations local DMU service
- Minute 30: Semi-fast locomotive-hauled service calling at Exbridge, Redourne Mills Road, Exbridge Parkway, St Hayle, Warren Cross and Newton Bay
- Minute 45: All stations local DMU again
Also:
- Hourly all stations service on the Tregullow branch
- Bihourly all stations service between Exbridge and Newton Harbour
Most are pretty straight-forwards, but there are a couple that do things that I'm quite pleased about, such as the down express overtaking the local train at Exbridge. Finally, the Newton Steam Railway is active, with an hourly service. Most of these are run by a SECR H-class, but one-in-four is a Light Pacific-hauled "dining special", which is really just an excuse to run a big mainline locomotive. :-)
Not present is any freight services, other than static waggons to keep visible yards from looking too empty. Perhaps I'll add some in to a later release; perhaps you fancy dancing around the passenger services - there are a few spare locomotives dotted around, and I've left the Quickdrive window active (though hidden) if you want to fouter around. This also seems a good point to note that the scenario is also available under a Creative Commons
Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License, so you may distribute any modified versions of the scenario that you make, as long as you give credit for what you used, don't sell it, and allow others to re-distribute their modifications of your version in turn.
Talking of credits, many thanks are due to the creators of the dependencies (all should be on the DLS, except the
Portal Manager rule that I used to make a clock-face timetable - have I mentioned that I like clock-face timetables?); all I did was just shuffle them around. A very, very special thank you goes to Fudginator and Nexusdj for their outstanding route - without their skill in building and generocity in sharing this session would literally be nothing.
Feedback, comments, and complaints all very welcome.
*I did exhaustive research on what would be prototypical, then mainly ignored it and did what I wanted anyway. :-)
