I've another TpF1 Scenic Excursions video on offer. As with all late-stage episodes, stutter can be an issue at times. Text narrative is decidedly sub-par, thanks to my being extra muddleheaded during the entire time I allotted myself to complete the project. Still, I like both the route and the tank loco what pulls our train:

Greetings! I haven't participated here in ever so long. Couldn't reach the site. When at last able to, I wasn't doing much with Transport Fever. I continue to create periodic videos of the map's more scenic routes. Can't recall which is the last episode to appear here before my enforced involuntary absence.

I'm pretty sure I never posted the re-do of episode 01 - Fuel for Dunwich, though I likely linked its predecessor. This short single-track train line received a major scenic overall back before bothersome lag and stutter set in, allowing me to add fairly elaborate detail. The re-do was, alas, 'filmed' after stutter became an issue, though it's not all that bad. Certainly not bothersome enough to stop me from linking it here:

Finally! I've not been able to reach this site in weeks. Have a lot of catching up to do, both as observer and contributor. Three TpF Scenic Excursions episodes have been published since my absence. The first, episode 35, visually documents a freight run from River Valley Foods to the cities or Hartlepool. Unlike the majority of recent episodes, the entire ride, coming and going, is included, rather than dividing the trip in two parts (due to ultra-slow internet upload speeds).

New Scenic Excursions upload, the old Epping-Kidderminster passenger line, seen episodes 11 & 13, its tracks extended to Chesham.

An irony: In real life, Kidderminster is associated with the Severn Valley (Heritage) Railway. On my map, the game chose to place it atop a hill.

This video concludes the ride begun last installment:

The first of another two-part episode, its short length mandated to compensate for uploading at 1440p over an ultra-slow internet connection. It is, thankfully, somewhat less stutter-afflicted than recent installments. Not buttery smooth, but easier on the eyes.

Another Scenic Excursions episode, the fourth featuring this short fuel-delivery run:

The forces ofdarkness salivate with glee upon publication of a new Transport FeverScenic Excursions episode. This, the conclusion of a two-partjourney, documents the return of a steam-locomotive-pulled freighttrain from the city of St. Mawes to its point-of-origin, RV Foods.

(I remind folk that I do not monetize these videos, and am thus not hawking a for-profit venture. Their creation is simply an enjoyable, if occasionally frustrating, pastime.)

A double-release announcement from me, having fallen a week behind due to technical issues within the forum. First up is TpF Scenic Excursions ep 30b, the conclusion of a passenger run released last weekend:

What better way to celebrate this day, December 7, than drop a bomb on an unsuspectingpublic. In this, the first of a two-part Transport Fever ScenicExcursions episode, we transport victuals by rail from one of two RVFoods railway stations to the never-before-seen-this-series city ofSt. Mawes. We ride aboard a British steam locomotive, first along anRV Foods dedicated spur, link with River Valley Mainline atEastleigh, pass through Morley, cross the river soon thereafter andenter our delivery point, bring the video to a close. Part 2, Returnto RV Foods, is scheduled for release next week.

There is a disturbance in the Force upon release of TpF1 Scenic Excursions episode 30a, in which we ride an Eastleigh-Hartlepool Commuter between the cities in question, with stop at Dunwich en route:

New Scenic Excursions episode. Nothing really new to see here, as we've traveled a good 90% of this route on other trains during recent episodes. We need to go all the way back to ep 08 for the missing bits:

hmmm....for whatever reason the site is telling me 'media' is an 'disallowed BBCode,' so I can embed my video. Anyone know what's up with that?

New TpF Scenic Excursions episode, a reshoot of episode 17, which I feel is marred by a combo of excessive loco exhaust, YT compression and poor camera position choice during its central 'cab-ride' segment. That's not the case here, or so I hope:

In Scenic Excursions ep28b we conclude the journey begun ep28a, returning from Sittingbourne to Morley:

Another TpF Scenic Excursions episode, rather a half-episode, rears its ugly head. In it, we ride a Commuter Train between the cities of Morley and Sittingbourne. We traveled this route before, episode 14. I refer to it as a 'blasphemy' episode, as scenery between Eastleigh and Morley did not exist at the time, except what could be seen across the river.

If you would, please read my YT comment posted below the video and reply if applicable. Thanks

A new Scenic Excursions episode, utilizing what is, for me, unorthodox yet effective camera positions. It's also less afflicted by YT compression than my vids tend to be. Otherwise, its YT description says what needs be said:

A new Scenic Excursions episode is available. YT compression doesn't treat it kindly, but what can ya do? (Any advice in this regard is much appreciated.) We deliver ConMat from a Facility near Henley to a Receiving Station at Eastleith Outskirts. Stretches of track between Morley and Eastleigh are not fully detailed. Debated uploading due to that, but I'll not have any fully detailed new routes to show for some time:

Another Scenic Excursions episode, a fuel run from Eastleigh Refinery to Hartlepool:

I've another Scenic Excursions episode. We deliver steel from Chesham Mill to Goodstown Factory along a railway short-line:

New TpF Scenic Exursions episode hot out of the oven. We deliver Goods from the Factory near Chesham, then return with supplies needed by the Factory and nearby communities. We've not traveled this Line before, though half its route will be at least vaguely familiar from ep16. Scenery is a mix of styles old/simple and new/elaborate.
