North Wales Coast - BR Blue Route now available for download

[jpantera]

Looking forward to this, cant get Amlwch-Widnes scenario going though TS2019 looking for LMS Brake Van (Grey) despite me having the listed requirements?

I have that in my Kuju folder under BR rather than default, so it may be a reskin (from 2008!). If you can swap with the default using RW_Tools, then all should be well

Thanks for that quick work with RWTools sorted it, The route looks amazing compared to the original DTG version. Massive amount of work put in and its evident all along the way. Point of Ayr and the Courtaulds works are great to see and Connahs Quay PS also. The improvements of the signalling transform the driving experience as I gave up with the DTG version after a SPAD at Abergele.

Something worth noting is that I am unsure if Llandudno Station had a run round release between Platforms 1 & 2 at the time you have built the route? It was still there until recently.

Just one suggestion if I may? The street lighting would have been sodium and not the led as depicted still, the sodium orange would indeed add to the general depressed look of the eighties?
Also, was there a station pilot at Llandudno? And if so what motive power was used?

I totally agree - I did think about that but I am not aware of a suitable streetlight asset that we could use, will discuss with Nick, we can easily do a mass swap out if there is an orange sodium streetlight available as I have used the same streetlight asset throughout the entire route.

Re. the pilot, not sure that I can ever remember a pilot being there......perhaps as Llandudno Junction Sheds were a short distance way a pilot sitting at Llandudno was not required? Others may remember differently though......................

Hi Andy, pretty sure there was an update to the WCMLN route by Keith, he used sodium lighting extensively in that patch. Or was it by somebody else?

As all my maps of the station had the canopy covering the tracks by the platforms, it is impossible to see any release crossover. However, a quick check of some images shows that you are correct.
A bit difficult to see with this one from 1978 (you have to zoom in)

But this later one shows it much better

This will be in the next release

Hi

anyone else experiencing signalling problems approaching Colwyn Bay Station from Llandudno ? i.e IA45 1004 Holyhead-Euston ,I'm getting a "game over" message for passing a signal at red,when it is actually a green signal.I press tab to pass this signal (even though it's a green signal),and shortly afterwards I get another "game over" message for passing a signal at red,even though I haven't passed another signal yet.Does Anyone know what's causing this,as I can't get passed this point ?

Interesting info for scenario writers too on here as well as some piccies as above.

Great stuff, last saw it used when a Man-Llandudno was 37 hauled into there and it ran round using that crossover.

If it was for WCML-N, then we cannot use it (without hauling in the whole of that DLC). Not to worry - I am on to it, and will have some sodiums by this evening!

Wow, cool! Incidentally I have just made a scenario for it entitled "Jones the parcel" See's one driving a 105 DMU parcels express by Richard Fletcher and strategically placed FP assets, its early morning (dawn chorus) from Chester to Llandudno, I have to say I have used lashings of artistic license as well as regional stereotyping! If you want to add it you can or I can equally upload it to the file library?

By all means upload to the file library, but you could also send it to me so I can include it in the update. Just include the scenario file, the list of requirements, and an image. Doesn't need to be a .rwp, a zip file is ideal. And that goes for any other scenario writers out there. We reserve the right to test and give some suggestions, but our other scenario writers are more than happy to submit on that basis. And if you need any extra markers, we can usually provide those (though you have the option of using scenario-specific ones)

That's fine, just polishing the edges off!
As an aside just noticed an errant texture? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/ ... 1578642700

Ahhhh, that is the old ash collector at Mold Jc., could be that a texture file was missed.....Nick will double-check.

We kept a running pictorial "diary" of progress on Flickr - http://www.flickr.com/photos/113166928@ ... 0085126135

Alternative just install the route and drive
