Hi Gary, thanks for that.
I nowadays have 4 versions of TS, One is of all routes/assets that are not UK routes. {TS2019}
The other 3 are:
1 (TS2018} which has most of my UK routes/assets from RSC/DTG, as well as from DT, JT, etc, etc, and bits from UKTS.
2 {TS2018} which has only my UK routes/assets from RSC/DTG.
3 {TS2020} which is now the only version I use now to download all DTG routes/assets. From here I am transferring all "US/EU/etc" routes/assets to my non UK content copy of TS, then un-ticking anything that is not "UK" based.
This is something I have only started doing over the past 6 months or so.

Originally I had just 2 versions, "UK" and "US/EU/etc" both were used to directly Download the relevant content. So I would find I was having to un-tick content that tried to download into the wrong version of TS. I stopped downloading directly to My US/EU/etc version over a year ago.
I did not have 2 separate accounts, just the one, but 2 versions of Windows The non UK version was downloaded via Windows 7, which I am no longer using.

But again thanks for your comments, I may well have been unaware of those ramifications. eg. un-ticking the likes of the "IOW" and it's ongoing dependencies.

I had tried splitting up some of my routes to separate drives but the when you get a freeware route for the UK that uses US assets ad you end up with two copies of a route
Same with rolling stock where you might wish to run European stock on a UK Route and v.v

All you need is the ASSETS that are used in the US route in your UK folder set--you DON'T need the route itself, nor any asset other than those actually used.
