Post by PGH60 »

Hi
Welcome to the forums.

Most if not all of the community CD's have self installers, a few clicks and they are ready to go.

One word of advice! Do not start off by getting one of the newer and bigger routes such as Thames-Mersey or Dorset Coast. They can cause problems. Stick to something like Burton-Derby or Steyning and if you want to have an easy ride and are into narrow gauge, try Talyllyn - absolutely delightful.

I would be grateful to know if anyone has news about the availability of the GWR Highworth Branch CD which is listed in the Route Registry as 'coming soon' ? (Hope this works - it's my first post)

Thanks Doug. Looking forward to asking your advice on one or two things at Harrogate and Keighley if you're there.

I always understood that Highworth was the Area 51 of Train Sim routes - everyone knows it exists... somewhere... though it does not appear on any official maps or in any catalogue - but intriguing occasional appearances of strange and wondrous objects have kept the rumour machine alive and well...

Glyn has already answered the question - the community CDs come with an autorun program that leads you through the install in steps. Just install the globals first, then the route and finally the stock and activities.
Kindest regards
