How critical is the JT Western Mainline to this 4 mile route?
It is not one I have or likely to purchase

Thanks

Thanks, Matthew!

For the information, for the route (I prefer byways to highways), and for the effort and care that you will have devoted to this.

Well done!

Hi,
The route looks really good but notice you don't mention what locomotives and stock that will be needed to run on the route, which just as important as saying what routes are needed for it.

Hi does anybody know how to put a picture in the routes page in train simulator, also do i have permission to use the xc extended sign Lydney sign to use in my route. Just doing the finishing touches, great for route knowloagement crossings included also points against the crossing so you can manually close the gates by switching the point Only Whitecroft and parkend not Lydney town as the gates are different custom made.

Only the builder of XC Extended can give you permission Matthew, you'd best contact him.

Dead easy.

You need a folder named

RouteInformation

in your route's folder---- ..\Content\Routes\long string of numbers that denotes your route\RouteInformation

In that folder you need whatever picture you want to use as a .png, named image.png with a size of 256x128 pixels.

Rename the image to image.png and you should be sorted.
