TS12 (SP1+HF4) 1980s era route by Fudginator with additional input by Nexusdj

*** Now available to download from the DLS ***

A fictional BR 1980s era route based in the Southwest corner of Britain .
The route features:
A 30 mile long main line with two main and eight smaller interactive stations .
8 freight only branch lines .
2 Passenger branch lines with 3 further interactive stations
Preserved steam passenger line
2 Traction Maintenance facilities ,including a HST and carriage maintenance depot
Various freight facilities with Interactive loading and unloading features
Working Airport and Heliport (for those who like to fly)
2 Harbours
Areas include :Rivers ,Beaches ,Forests ,Valleys ,Farms ,Industrial ,Villages , towns and the city of Exbridge.

Correctly Signalled lines featuring :
Absolute block with lower quadrant and colour light signals
Track circuit block with colour light signals (1960s and 1980s era).

The route contains well over 200 custom built items including custom signals by Chrisaw.

China clay is the main source of freight, with some quarter of a million tonnes being exported a year.
Bagged clay via Vickmore Wharf, wagon loads via the deep channel dock at Penween
and slurry from the new plant at Crugmill to numerous destinations in the UK.
There are also many other freight workings; cement, cider, oil, scrap, milk and fertilizer.

A Motorail terminal can be found at Newton Bay and a busy Speedlink yard at Exbridge .
The old power station at Newton Bay was closed in the late 70's, so traffic now is mainly scrap as the demolition begins.

Between Newton Bay, St Withiel and Burnwallins there is what remains of the old competing Southern Railway double track mainline,
This features dual shared running with the Newton Steam Railway who enjoy running rights over
BR metals on weekends and Bank holidays .

I am looking forward to this - something about the West Country that's always appealing. Well worth the wait too, judging by all the pictures we have seen.

I'm a bit disappointed this won't be on TS2009, but it may just persuade me to use my TS12 a bit more :)

Thanks all :D

Update : We've received approval emails for the route and custom content , so hopefully (fingers crossed) it will be up on the DLS tonight (usually around 1-2 am) .
If the DLS goes wonky and one appears with out the other we have a back up plan already devised and ready to swing into action ;)

I'll add some further route info to the first post later on .

I've updated the route info in the first post .
Still no sign of the content on the DLS , sadly this is something that is out of our hands :(
My confirmation email arrived at 15.35 yesterday (Sunday) with the remit that the content will be on the DLS within 24 hours !!

I uploaded some stuff on Friday, only got approved early this morning along with Saturday and Sundays uploads, three Emails all within half an hour........ last week things were getting approved unusually quickly within a few hours. Wondering if after all the recent moaning about cloning and rubbish being uploaded there might be a manual element of checking being done, seemed a bit too quick for the normal automated system?
Cheers

I'll patch my Trainz later so I can play with the route, but I've downloaded the custom content already and there is a missing dependency for the tunnel assets. It's <kuid:45317:104478>, and a look at the config file shows it's the attached track. It appears to not be on the DLS, do you know where I can find it?

Thanks,
Alex

Thanks for the info , that one slipped through the net ( I was expecting one or 2 problems given the amount of content uploaded) !
When I checked the required route dependencies in CMP that track wasn't listed because the tunnel track is designed to change to whatever track you attach to it , I had attached the lo-poly tunnel track in the route and this was the one listed in the route dependencies .

I've just uploaded the missing track and I've attached it to this post for those who require it asap .

I'm surprised that I haven't received an automated email from the DLS to say there's a dependency missing ??
