If I understood correctly from the original post, the DTG NLL is a prerequisite for the backdated version however.
So if you want this one, better pick up the DTG version in the sale, if possible!

That is correct. :D

Yours truly has been working since the DTG North London Line's release to make a version backdated to the 1980s, or there abouts.

As it's currently under testing, I'd thought I'd share a few photos.

Requirements:

· DTG North London Line Add-on (Steam)

· DTG London—Brighton Add-on (Steam)

· DTG GEML London—Ipswich Add-on (Steam)

· DTG AP Station Pack (Steam—included in Doncaster Works, Falmouth Branch, Portsmouth Direct Line, Northeast Corridor, Horseshoe Curve, Woodhead, Trains Vs Zombies 2, Western Lines of Scotland, WCML Over Shap, and Pietmaritzburg to Ladysmith.)

· DTG Class 415 4EPB Pack (Steam)

· Class 415 BlueGrey and Blue reskins by Richard Fletcher (http://www.dpsimulation.org.uk/rf72reskins.html)

All other assets are contained within the installation.

More details to follow.
I misread the FB post in the week and thought I needed all of those routes for the DTG AP Station Pack, but it seems I only need to have one which I have so I should be ok. I have been following updates on FB for months now. Cant wait :)

Those shots are absolutely stunning, the last two could pass as photographs

Xavier, I haven't got Pietmaritzburg to Ladysmith, nor, the Zombies add-on, neither of these have any appeal to me personally, have you used much content from these 2 offerings please?

Hi Steve, he has only used the apstation pack which is available with ANY of the routes in that box - you don't need all of them! :)

Yep only need one of those routes that contain the AP Station Pack.
I've tried to make the route as low on DLC as possible.

Today's the day! And you can now download the route from the link below!

BEFORE YOU DOWNLOAD! PLEASE READ!

The installer has a built-in function for checking whether all the requirements have been installed. It will display a message when you select your installation directory saying "Error. Required file missing." if you haven't installed one of the requirements. If you're absolutely sure you have all the requirements, and this message still appears, please let me know and I will try to help resolve the issue.

Have fun!

Hi Xavier, Smartscreen has blocked the download as an unsafe download - don't know why. :(

Hmm, the filter probably does that because the file hasn't been downloaded until now. Are you able to allow the file through?
I could stick it inside a .zip file but it isn't really necessary.

I only came across your new version of the NLL a few days ago.
The download worked faultlessly, fired up with no problem and I've just started out from Broad Street.
BRILLIANT!!!!
Takes me back years and I can't wait to explore the route in detail.
Thank you, so very much.
