Manx Northern Heritage Line Reopening

[pjt1974]

With all the testing done, Version 1 is finally ready to be released. Just uploading the asset pack now with the route and Traction power to follow once I have an Isle of Man Railways route category up in the class and type menu.
Assets needed are SAD's Altenburg route and assets here http://rail-sim.de/railsimnew/index.php ... 41&cid=314
SAD's foliage here http://www.uktrainsim.com/filelib-info. ... leid=23167
RYO's Tram surfaces here http://www.uktrainsim.com/filelib-info. ... leid=21191
plus the RSC IOW add on.
I have used some assets from Project Platform however these are not critical to the running of the route.
This route does seem very asset happy for a 9 mile route, however, the vast majority of these assets will cover the whole 44 mile network eventually.
Just wish to make it clear, this is not a 3ft NG version, neither the track or rolling stock was available to complete such a version at this time.
Thanks to all the asset builders for their permission to use their excellent work. Your work does not go un-noticed.
Thanks to Bigvern, Hertsbob and John (partyspirit) for the testing.
All that's left to say is enjoy and if there's any problems or discussion this thread is open for that purpose.

Cheers
Phil

I would just like to thank Phil for the opportunity to test this route prior to release. It is an exceptional effort and very realistic, Phil has far more patience than I do for the little details. Try it with the DMU 101 and you will be transported on to a lovely rural branch line. Like Arnie in Total Recall, you won't want to come back!

Funnily enough, I had a little play over the weekend and added a 101 scenario. Only take 50 mins for all stopper Ramsey to Kirk Micheal and back.

Route and assets both up for approval last night, hopefully ready to go sometime later today.

Just had a run down to Ramsey Quay and a run in the DMU. A gem of a branch line. And Ramsey is very much as I rember it, you can almost smell the kippers. Very well done and I look forward to the expansion.

Evening All
Just down-loaded Manx Northern Heritage line and for some reason it will not install with the package manager and the route does not show.
Any-one else had this problem?

Alan,you have a pm

[pjt1974]

Can I ask anyone who's installed the Manx Northern Heritage Line to help please?
I've had a report of some markers missing during the 'mixed train assembly part 1' mainly Ramsey Carraige Shed and Kirk Michael Station.
Could anyone report back if they've found this problem?

Thank You
Phil

Yes, I have two missing markers on that scenario.

Driver 'Gloria' at Lat 54.32386 Long -4.38873 - Missing Marker - Ramsey Carraige Shed
Driver 'Gloria' at Lat 54.32386 Long -4.38873 - Missing Marker - Kirk Michael Station


I am also having trouble finding the Caledonian coaches. Can anyone provide a link.

Thanks

Further to my post.

If I go into Edit I can see the markers but they are not found under Play

apologies, I thought I'd put the link in the readme

I don't honestly know what I can do here, I'm sorry.
I haven't edited any part of any scenario or the route since I packaged it up on Sunday and I ran the 'mixed train prt1' scenario without problems last night after Alan reported it to me.
I even cloned the scenario and tried to 'upset it' and make the dispatcher go all red '!!!!!!!' on me but it seems to be bullet proof.

Fantastic route enjoyed a trip around the Quay and the run down to Kirk - havn`t got the DMU yet but steam hauled just as good !!!! - Look forward to the next extension coming out -- Had a few days on the Island back in June - took the Bus from Ramsey to Peel and quite amazed how much of the route is still visible between Ramsey and St Germans area

Thanks Ken,
Your kind words are appreciated. Hopefully if you're back on the Island you might recognise some of it by the route. Most of the old closed network is now a public footpath. The only bits that aren't is parts of Sulby to Ramsey.

I thought they were RSDL released but they are repaints of the IOW railwaymen

Thanks to Manuel for reporting this to me

For those of you having trouble with the scenario 'mixed train assembly part one'
I have reworked the scenario and have uploaded the zip (7b13e579-671a-423b-96d0-dd1d1efda17b.zip) to my weebly webpage (linked below) and to UKTS. Once the upload has been cleared by UKTS admin it will only be available from UKTS.
Apologise for the hassle.
