RW MILW 'Coal Extra' Scenarios for Eagle Ridge Bay

A pair of Milwaukee Road scenarios for Marc Simpson's Eagle Ridge Bay route. In this two-part run you are the engineer of an ALCO RS3 based in Eagle Ridge Bay, in charge of getting 33 empty hoppers to the Lytton mines and returning with 10 loads.

Your train has low priority, so be prepared to wait at some reds even on this double tracked route. You will meet a dozen AIs and your work order includes several switching moves from beginning to end of your run.

This scenario has been built using a lot of freeware and one payware package. You can also use RW_Tools to substitute any missing or unwanted rolling stock items.

Add-ons needed to run this scenario:

PLEASE NOTE: This is a very long list of add-ons. I did this in order to get you the best looking consists, with a lot of color and the right mix of equipment, road names and engines which might have been found on the real Milwaukee Road in the 1970s. Of course this is still highly simplified and also has to follow the constraints of what models and reskins are available in the RW rolling stock roster.
If you do not want to download 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
