This session is for Urban IndustRail 7b. It uses default Trainz rolling stock, apart from the ATSF ore hoppers, the mill gondolas and the Victorian Railways S class steam locomotive. All these items of rolling stock are on the Download Station and will be installed automatically when the session is downloaded. The session should take about three or so hours to complete.
The main purpose of the session is to provide instruction to engineers for driving a steam locomotive in Cab Mode. Driving a steam locomotive in Cab Mode is a challenge and you will be spending much more time reacting to gauges and adjusting the controls than looking at the scenery.
A detailed readme file describing the correct driving technique is included in the folder containing the session. You will also find the readme in a post of mine in the Auran Trainz Forums.
