Great job Westward/Andy! Good job with the story telling and we all know that engines or characters that act like sergeants even after a war and not doing their military duties can be such obnoxious characters at times! And poor Shawe got sidelined by Lord Stovell, even though he, oof, went passed a danger signal. Looking for ward to watch the next episode! 🎵Smoke in my eyes🎵 🎵Soot in my hair🎵 🎵Cinders in my shoes🎵 🎵I’m watching the needle falling away🎵 🎵As I’m singing the right freight blues!🎵

Stellar work as always bro

[@KameronCousin]

This is a lovely episode Andy! Well done! 👍:D

[@SteamingWestwardsProductions]

Thank you Kameron!

[@DC4260Productions]

This was very well done, especially the WD 2-8-0 that is essentially the locomotive equivalent of the Sgt. Major from a certain comedy program.

This will be a nice early birthday present.

[@tehherpderp7007]

God damn, It Ain’t Half Hot Mum references, I’ll never forget Sgt Major.

Find out in the next Episode :P

[@thatd59ladlarry]

alright

[@fr8ener96]

well, the way I see it, Freight is the foundation of ANY hard-working railway!

[@eliotreader8220]

way does that tank engine have a spark arresting funnel? I am guessing it was originally fitted so it wouldn't set any rolling stock on, fire?

[@SteamingWestwardsProductions]

Because he shunts military trains which can have gunpowder wagons. The spark arrester stops the risk of him blowing stuff up.

[@HorwichWren]

8:07 Whaddaya MEAN there's no space in the yard?! Edit: Pilot could have coupled up to the other end of the train, so could Ollie. You could always split the train in halves to run around it, yeah it would take more time but it would ultimately be easier

[@mattevans4377]

I think this what you call a self fulfilling prophecy.....

[@Planefan1000]

I believe the failed engine at Repford is an 0-8-0 LNWR G2 class

[@SteamingWestwardsProductions]

Thank you! The route isn’t available, it’s a private route that I’m still adding too so I never know if it’ll ever be public.

What assets or routes do you use? Because I need more older styled stuff like boats, cars houses? (I’ve got all the main ones)

[@SteamingWestwardsProductions]

I’ve got a fair few my dude. Malmesbury, Exeter - Kingswear, the Train Sim Academy route for the assets, Memories and Return to Maerdy, Weardale, Woodhead, VP Trees, Grass and Road Packs and very soon I’ll have the VP Track. There’s a shed load of really good assets within that lot!
