what people want i would guess now just to finish the NLL off is New line to finish in euston(which is a massive job if u go pre-rebuild) as euston had quite a few point motors operating, and for it finish at watford via the high street...as i said its a massive piece of work..but that would finish it for a few of the readers..it will kill alot of memory i suspect...and be a massive piece of virtual civil engineering...

wait for it someone will now ask for the croxley to be included also...(i am not)

i am aware that the WCML is available as an addon, but for those who dont have the funds

to all you route builders i have massive respect to you all - the tiny improvements u guys share make it worthwhile
Fundamentally, since NLL services never ran from Euston, I think having a WCML South addon to backdate with more accurate scenery than what I can produce would be received better than anything else that can be added to the NLL.
Then if the Abbey Line and Croxley Branch was added to that, it would be a smaller but more prototypical route.

... and of course, once you get to Clapham Junction you may as well continue the line through Barnes to Richmond - to join up with the end of the NLL there. :wink:

I am delighted to announce that a small selection of scenarios are available from the blog. Two are uploaded at the request of Kernow2 and the other 4 are done by myself.

Hello, I wonder if someone may be able to help or tell me where I have gone wrong?

Route loads all OK (so far) but having an issue with the Class 415 in QD and scenarios I have downloaded.

I have the DTG Class 415 so that is present and the AP unpacked. I have downloaded the reskins from DP and installed via package manager - I then go into Assets/DTG and run the batch files for each reskin as per the readme.

When I run a scenario or QD the unit is not there - only what looks like the front coupler/buckeye and a coupler? Never had an issue with any other reskins from DP so I assume the error maybe mine somewhere!

Your Railworks folder is probably set to read-only.

You need to right click on your Railworks folder and uncheck "read only" to make the file read/write. A function built into RW_Tools will also do this automatically.
Then reinstall the 415 reskins and run the batch and the .geopcdx files should copy into the right folders.

This is also explained in the readme of the reskins.

Hi, you need to completely install each unit including running the batch file before trying to install another, otherwise the first run of the batch file removes the files from the other versions as well. Then the batch files from the other versions don't work - ask me how I found out! :)

Thank you and to xguerra for suggestions.

Played with lots of things for read/write via RW tools and 'applying attributes' to my Railworks file at 18 minutes a pop but still no joy just couplings.

Tried just the one unit/batch file and of course the unit is there!

This is simply stunning xguerra, the atmosphere you have created with this is spot on. Thank you.

Would it be possible to add Stratford TMD in any future update?

Also, thanks to the scenario writers, a quick run just blue :D me away...!

Hi
When I younger if we went to see my uncle,we always used the North London line as far as gospel oak,where we changed and caught Midland train to Leyton,then a trolley bus to where my uncle lived,in those days the trains were ex LMS emus
I will have to see how funds are at the weekend,and buy the North London Line,can you still get Richards reskins for the EMU's from dpsimulations?
