The Stepford County Railway Wiki has announced a new revamp project, giving the community a new way to give feedback for the project's future. You can read more here and participate on our Discord server.
This was the first depot to spawn trains from more than one operator.
This depot's architecture is different from many depots because it has a large trainshed, and also features staff offices since its upgrade in V1.8.
Prior to V1.10, this was the largest depot in the game as it houses 3 operators and 10 lanes, 4 in use.
This was beaten by Farleigh TMD as it houses 3 operators and 18 lanes, though only 3 are in use.
During V1.1, many trains were bugged which made them impossible to spawn at Stepford Depot, however a few patches later this was eventually fixed. A similar issue occurred with the Class 755/3, but this bug was resolved as well.
Prior to V1.8, the former lanes 1 and 6 were closed. If they were in use, Stepford Express could use lane 1 and AirLink could use lane 6.
This is considered to be one of the busiest depots in the game as it leads to Stepford Central, the busiest station in the game and a major terminating station. Due to this, this depot may sometimes be full due to the amount of people spawning here, though the chance of this happening has dropped since the addition of the Beechley Sidings.
However, the Class 801 train on the depot is strangely classified as a Class 802, according to the TOPS classification on the train. This is likely due to both trains sharing the same model, with only different operator liveries.
Upon the release of V1.8, there was a bug that locked the aspect of signal D044 on danger, meaning that Stepford Express services bound for Stepford Central could not leave the depot.
This has since been fixed.
Also upon the release of V1.8, the speed limit signs show 45 MPH but it is programmed to 15 MPH, according to Signaller Manager billythepet 45 MPH is the correct speed limit, this has also been fixed.
A double-unit Class 387 can be seen right next to the Stepford Connect train shed, some people have said that this may hint towards a double-unit Class 387 joining AirLink’s fleet.
