1952

Plot:
On October 8th, 1952, a Tring-to-Euston stopping train arrived at the station to pick up and drop off passengers while approximately 7 minutes late due to fog. Meanwhile, two other trains were late as well: a Perth-bound train hauled by a steam locomotive no. 46242 "City of Glasgow," an ex-LMS (London, Midland & Scottish Railway) Princess Coronation class, and a Liverpool-bound train hauled by two ex-LMS locomotives: a Jubilee class no. 45637 "Windward Islands," and a Princess Royal class no. 46202 "Princess Anne.". This is the moment that sets the scene for destruction. The Perth train passed a yellow signal and two red signals for unknown reasons and crashed in the back of a stopping train. It destroyed three rear coaches, then laid on the line where the Liverpool train was about to come in, and finally the Liverpool train struck the Perth locomotive. Caused the Liverpool train to deflect to the left side of the station.

In this video, I recreated the events that led to Britain's 2nd worst rail disaster at Harrow and Wealdstone station. There are some inaccuracies in this video: First, the location I film came from a built-in route called "Rosworth Vales SP2" because I don't have a Harrow and Wealdstone route, so I decided to choose the Rosworth route for filming since it has the closest station. Second, it was the tank engine that hauls the local train. The locomotive I used for this video was an LNER J72, but in real life, the locomotive that was involved in this disaster was an LMS Fowler 2-6-4T tank. I used to have a model of it, but then I realised it was a payware model from a payware route, and downloading it for free isn't a good idea, so I decided to delete it and use the J72 model. And finally, the leading locomotive of the Liverpool train. The locomotive I used was a Black 5 loco, but in real life, it was a Jubilee loco. It's because I don't have a model of it in trainz. This video here is NOT intended to be set to be monetized, but Youtube won't turn it off unfortunately.
