North Wales Coast - BR Blue Route now available for download

[alanch]

Driving the [SP] 8T37 1214 Holywell Junction - Mold Junction I'd assembled my return freight and was about 2 miles from Holywell Junction when I was interrupted by an AI collision - I didn't get all the details before the pop-up closed, but it was between 9T29 1225 Mold Junction - Point of Ayr and and I think 7T43 1200 Mold Junction - Llandudno Junction.

I've had a quick look at the scenario in timetable view in the editor, and it looks like the most likely point for the collision is where the Sandycroft Down Slow joins the Down Fast. The 7T43 had reversing ticked for its first instruction, so it takes that literally and reverses out of Mold Junction Yard before reaching the Down Fast, where it reverts to moving forwards to travel towards Llandudno! I've edited the scenario and removed the reverse instruction, and will see if that helps.

Just a quick note to say that the extended route to cover the Conwy Valley Branch is now available

North Wales Coast & The Conwy Valley Branch - BR Blue Period at https://www.wotawallysbits.co.uk/nwc-brblue

Andy will be supplying more details later.

I accidentally left one of my route building tools in (a construction gauge under a bridge between Chester and Crewe), but the most you may see is a small milk bottle between the tracks. It will not effect the running of the route

Downloaded earlier, fantastic. Took the 40 down the Branch to Blaenau proper work out! Temp got a bit warm on the engine and I managed to blow a TM shunting the stock at the destination!!!

Thanks to all involved in the creation of this! Finally may retire my MSTS version now...

Excellent work guys, the icing on the cake being Xavier's Conwy Valley backdated to the 80's!

Small point, but the station signs for Glan Conwy, Llanrwst, and Betws-y-Coed are not showing up, and coming up as missing assets. I have the (apparent) files in the folders, but RW_Tools says they are missing (not missing textures), and Mully's Missing Objects Tool is displaying the orange cooling towers where they should be. All the other signs display perfectly.

Hi Chris - oops. I made signs both with and without poles for all stations on the line. As we didn't use all, I restricted the set we put in the Assets package. For the 3 stations, it is the free ones that are missing. I will put together a small fix package available shortly.

Edit - pick up a fix on my Google Drive at https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Xw0GnO ... sp=sharing. It is in a .rwp which you install in the usual manner.

The fix is also available on the download site https://www.wotawallysbits.co.uk/nwc-brblue

Are folks seeing the station signs now?

Yes, thanks!

Hi Brysonman !

I havent yet downloaded what appears to be a great route that you have developed. (I have been waiting for the dust to settle..lol).

Will you be bringing out another update to it in the near future, which will include any very recent alterations ?

Thanks

Derek

Hi Derek

For the basic "North Wales Coast - BRBlue" route, we published Phase 1, Llandudno to Chester.

Chester to Crewe is still WIP, but will be completed as Phase 2 in the near future.

Earlier this week, we published an augmented route "North Wales Coast + Conwy Valley Branch - BRBlue", which added the line from Llandudno Junction to Blaenau Ffestiniog. This has been kept as a separate route as there several more DLC required. Both are shown, side by side, at https://www.wotawallysbits.co.uk/nwc-brblue, so players can make a choice. All the scenarios in the first route will work on the second, though the reverse is not true (as there are extra tracks involved).

When we complete Phase 2, we will publish an update for it. The second route will also be updated at the same time.

regards

Nick

Hi Derek,

Just to let you know that we have a thread running in the Route Building section where we report progress ( with links to screenshots ), next steps etc. etc.

Hi Again Brysonman and acfreeman

Sorry..I explained things poorly ! What I meant to say was, in view of any very recent issues raised with slight anomalies here and there, do you intend to re-release a newer "patched" version in the near future ?

Sorry about the confusion earlier.

Regards

Derek
