If anyone is interested - here's my thumbs for the routes i have installed

http://defade.com/TS2013/RouteThumbnails+Meta.zip

Contains thumbs for the following:

UK Routes (premium & freeware)

Bishop Aukland - Darlington [JustTrains.net]
Bristol & Avonmouth [JustTrains.net]
Bristol - Exeter [JustTrains.net]
Candlewick [UKTrainSim.com]
China Clay for Export [CreativeRail.co.uk]
Coniston [UKTrainSim.com]
Crouch Valley Branch Line [UKTrainSim.com]
East Somerset Railway [MeshTools.co.uk]
Gloucestershire & Warwickshire (aka The Honeybourne Line) [UKTrainSim.com]
Great Central Railway [UKTrainSim.com]
Lavender Line [UKTrainSim.com]
Llangollen [UKTrainSim.com]
Mayflower Line [UKTrainSim.com]
Newcastle - York (Modern) [JustTrains.net]
South Devon Banks (Historic) [UKTrainSim.com]
Scottish East Coast Mainline [JustTrains.net]
Settle - Carlisle (1960's) [UKTrainSim.com]
Spa Valley Railway [UKTrainSim.com]
Welsh Highland Railway [UKTrainSim.com]
West Somerset Railway [UKTrainSim.com]
Western Rails [UKTrainSim.com]

I tried to use images that best showed which route it is at a glance - eg: The Forth Bridge for SCEML (but obviously some line don't have iconic landmarks, so i chose stuff that seemed easily recognisable)

I also noticed that once images are cropped and shrunk to the needed size, that they became very dark when viewed in TS2013 menus - so i've spent time artificially increasing the brightness of them all too

Hope they help someone at least

Thank you, Your a star, I have 3 of those routes, the only other missing thumbs are all default routes (pre2013)!

Hi,

All my default routes from 2012 had thumbnails already - with the exception of:

TestTrak
Port Road (free steam dlc)
& I think maybe one of the foreign routes

I got thumbnails for those from the german website (rail-sim.de) linked earlier in this topic (first page near bottom)

Hi Mike, I can confirm: it works.

But...
Create a new folder within your developer\add-on directory called "PreLoad"
This can still cause confusion.
