Birchenwood Shunt Drive

Birchenwood Shunt Drive

In this 30 minute Drive session you are in charge of the large Birchenwood shunting engine which is responsible for exchange traffic with the LMS at Kidsgrove. At the start of the session the LMS shunting engine has left a consist of empty brick flats and loaded sand and coal wagons which you will push through the tunnel and as far as Summit Junction, the access to Birchenwood for incoming traffic. After shunting operations within Birchenwood works you will ultimately bring some coal empties, full coke and brick wagons back down to Kidsgrove.

Switching of points is done automatically in this session, but there are some matters which need to be taken into account. These are explained on screen and particular attention needs to be paid to positioning of your engine, not exceeding the speed limit of 15mph and keeping control of heavy consists on steep gradients.
