Cargo scenario from Łazy to Katowice, including shunting and full Ty2 support

[jeroezie]

 

My freight scenario is finally finished! I would like to thank everyone, who helpt me in the process of making it.

Build up your locomotive at the locomotive depot at Lazy LB. If necessary, couple up to your second locomotive. Let the signaller know you are ready for shunting. Then shunt to your train and hook it up too and report your readyness again. When it’s time, you can depart towards Katowice, where the scenario will end.

Locomotives
You have access to the full range, Ty2 steam locomotive, one or multiple EU07's or the retro ET22. Or pick an more modern Br186 or the dragon powerhouse.

When you drive the EU07 or ET22, it’s possible to tow an additional locomotive (EU07/EP07/EP08/ET22). Use the second loco to do your shunting and switch to the main locomotive after coupling to your train. To allow towing, you must activate the battery and cancel the dead man switch (activate cab, set reverser, cancel dead man, set reverser to neutral and deactivate the cab). After this, ensure all cabs are properly deactivated and town on the towed movement switch, so it’s in the 'Jazda ciagniona' setting, the icon in the HUD label should now glow up red. In the EU/EP07/-8 it is located on the back wall of the cabin 1, behind the driver’s seat. In the ET22, its in the electrical cabined near cab 1, the same as the battery switch.

Waggons
There are many waggon sets available. Please ensure yourself, that the locomotive(s) of your choice, are powerful enough to tow the train properly. The code does NOT check for this. Keep in mind, that you will encounter the hill beyond at Lazy LC, especially in slippery weather.

All sets of wagons have been checked for proper brake settings (G/P/R changeover valve) and weight limits etc. Some cargo sets will have empty passenger carriages. Unit cargo trains have vmax of 100 km/h, fast cargo and the complete carriages set have 120 km/h and heavy cargo trains will have 95 km/h. If you need the Cargo DLC, it is listed as such, see the table for all information:
1: Fast cargo, 328 tons, 219 meters, P brake.
2: Unit Cargo, 520 tons, 158 meters, P brake.
3: Unit Cargo, 700 tons, 214 meters, P brake, cargo DLC.
4: Unit Cargo, 894 tons, 273 meters, GP brake.
5: Unit Cargo, 1191 tons, 257 meters, GP brake, cargo DLC.
6: Fast Cargo, 1032 tons, 234 meters, GP brake, cargo DLC.
7: Unit Cargo, 1454 tons, 400 meters, LL brake.
8: Unit Cargo, 1875 tons, 613 meters, LL brake.
9: Unit Cargo, 2232 tons, 457 meters, LL brake, cargo DLC.
10: Heavy unit cargo, 2049 tons, 588 meters, G brake.
11: Heavy unit cargo, 2582 tons, 601 meters, G brake, cargo DLC.
12: Heavy unit cargo, 3282 tons, 747 meters, G brake, cargo DLC (not recommended unless you are a hardcore heavy trains fan).
13: Empty passenger carriages, 449 tons, 246 meters, R brake.

Weather and scenery and bot/AI trians
You have the option between sunny, cold (snow), cloudy and a little rain, raining or even a thunderstorm to choose from.

It is not possible to change the date or time. This is so, since in the way I set up the LUA scenario, the date and time is hardcoded.

An detailed recreation of the multiplayer timetable of summer/fall of 2024 has been provided. Decorated with even more trains and shunting movements.

Please have patience with the Pendolino 1429.

Credits
Making this scenario would have been completely impossible for me, without all the help I received from both the SimRail developers’ team and members of the community. I would like to thank them very much!

Special thanks to:
Królik Uszasty, Moooritz and Lewnemejski for answering many of my questions about LUA programming.
Eridor has helped my much and has made some great LUA libraries, which we can freely use in SimRail. Also, his awesome code for spawning random trainsets does not get nearly the appreciation as it should be getting. The possibilities and all the subtitle details he has thought of, are amazing. I encourage everyone interested in making LUA scenario’s to take a look!
Shiralyn has coded a Python script, so I could have access to the 2024 timetable and train composition data to this day. Without it, I would have been unable to recreate the multiplayer timetable.

Installation
The easiest way to install it, is to subscribe to the Steam Workshop mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3628486286

If you did not use the Steam Workshop for SimRail yet, see additional instructions here, since it is not a fully released futurte of the game yet: 

 

Or download the scenery file manuall and unzip it in your 'SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\SimRail\SimRail_Data\StreamingAssets\Sceneries' folder

Have fun! I hope to recieve much feedback from you, so I can improve this and future scenario's.

Zatrzymałem się pod semaforem. Podczepiłem wagony w Ła do lokomotywy i ruszyłem do Łaz. I w  Łazach koniec trasy. 

I stopped at the signal. I coupled the wagons to the locomotive in Łazy and headed for Łazy. And in Łazy, the route ended.

I have no clue what happened. That train on your right should really not be their.

I'll play again. Maybe it will be better.
