Hi

I did this recently myself - swapped DCv5 textures with Great Eastern ones. Basically, in the Routes/Dorset/Textures folder there are a load of .ace files all with UKFS prefixes (i.e. ukfs_rail.ace). You need to swap all these with the UKFS textures you desire from a different route. I don't believe you can swap textures other than UKFS ones. That is about as far as my knowledge on the subjects goes I'm afraid :P

Hope it helps though :D
Kind regards

They won't work because they're designed for the default track shapes provided with MSTS and in the XTracks package. Dorset Coast uses the UK FineScale track which uses it's own set of textures and higher detail track shapes.
