Thanks for the kind comment.
I've just re-installed, no AWS on colour light signals.
RW tools reports no problems, any ideas anyone?

is this a case of no AWS ramps, or one of no AWS sound?

There are / where numerous lines controlled by semaphores where the distant semaphore signals are fitted with AWS ramps (either of the controlled or permanent variety) .
The distant on the UP approaching Poulton seems to be missing an AWS ramp . If you zoom in to the full extent on Bing maps birds eye view you can make out the ramp to the left of the last tree (bottom left corner)
https://www.bing.com/mapspreview?osid=4 ... orm=S00027
Also regarding the semaphores at Poulton I'm being brought to a stand at the 1st home signal on the UP (PT70 in real life) and I'm having to TAB past it every time , Is it a problem caused by the mixture of semaphores produced by two or more creators (different scripts ?) . The AP semaphores at Blackpool seem to play ball most of the time apart from the combines where sometimes the stop signal is on but the distant is off , but the problem starts when passing from the last AP semaphore on the UP at Carlton and the distant for Poulton which is always on . The section signal on the UP (PT69) at Poulton also remains at Danger (even though the next section is clear on the map) until you approach it then it clears . Maybe using all AP semaphores may solve the problem at that location ?
Apart from those few niggles with the signals listed above it is a superb route which I've driven over quite a few times already . Up until today I had most of the required dependencies except the scenery items from West Highland extension which I didn't have , That's been remedied this afternoon so I can now see the route in all its glory . Its also the reason why I held back from posting the above problems with the signals as I thought it could be connected to a missing item .

I'm pretty sure "as per real life" all signals bar shunting signals are fitted with AWS. Certainly main line, all semaphores should have AWS.

My previous post has not beentered approved yet but I stated that all signals have AWS. Just done my homework and I was wronng. So please disregard.

No AWS ramps or AWS audible warnings on colour light signals.
A speed restriction AWS ramp worked though.

I've sussed it, there are no AWS ramps on the approach and including Preston station, of what I can see - just outside they start appearing again.

So for a 1,000 yards or so there are no AWS ramps?----that's a bit different from your initial observation that there were none at all.

They were none passed Poulton on my initial install.
when I re-installed everything I had a quick drive both ways then sussed it.
I think Preston threw me.

Well i came here wondering about the missing Class 175 reskin which i've now realised wasn't mean't to be published as a scenario and discovered there maybe more missing reskins.
J1o2h3n4 wrote:I'd like to know as well, Martin. Along with the MK2E Ex Virgin first and tpo, the RSC-Lpool class 159 and whilst were at it Kuju 47137 ( though I do have more than enough Kuju 47s to swap) and the RSC Jubilee red.
Suffering search fatigue after installing the latest German Routes.
Regards JohnT
Thank you to the people that has mentioned what is missing as it means i can stop getting frustrated and just use RW_Tools to swap the items out.
Awesome route though, thanks Tomhas2 and for the people that have worked on it.

Hello there. Just a quick one regards to scenarios some issues have risen with stock. Please ignore the 175 scenario it isnt complete and it uses a skin not complete but now ap have released a skin i can use that.
I do aim to get an update out still just been rather busy. Also i have fixed some speed issues and aws ramps.
Please follow me on facebook under TPR Team for updates and if theres anything you need please message me via there
Regards Tom
