    Desktop Screenshot 2021.10.05 - 19.10.33.76.png I need some help regarding the requirements of the South London and Thameslink merge on the steam workshop.
    I only own the Brighton Main Line, South London Network and MML
    Is it essential to own the Platform Scenery Clutter Pack, and the Extra scenery download?
    For the ones that own this merge,or that know about this i would like your help, thanks in advance!

    You can probably get away with the platform clutter pack, but the extra download will give you a station for city thameslink which you'd miss other wise. (Not the best granted but still adds a bit more than you'd be missing without the pack)

    Edit the extra scenery download is a file you can download for free, so don't need to buy something for it :)

    What does the platform clutter pack provides to the route? It's cheap on steam, but i would like to know if it's that essencial...

    I honestly can't remember (I think i used it for the ticket barriers and a couple of other minor things at Beckenham Junction) - Although something to note though - I plan on adding Orpington / Swanley to the route in the future (so it will need the Chatham Main Line route as another requirement, I'm also aiming to lessen the need for Trent Valley, and hopefully remove the Modeller's Pack / Platform Pack in the future* )

    (* hopefully being the key word :) )

    The Extra assets (well you can download the platform textures if you want too, it just changes the texture of the platforms, but that's entirely up to you :) )

    As far as I remember I had the same problem. It will be solved by buying WCML Trent Valley.

    That's the reason - I disliked the Kuju gantries so wanted to replace them, but I'll be replacing those with Chatham ones (I know unfortunately another requirement, but it is better than the gantries from 15 years ago, I'm aiming to lessen or remove the WCML Trent Valley requirement )

    :o

    I bought the route just to drive on your merge. I've never used the route for any other purpose :D

    It´s not such a big problem for me, but it´s very weird not having the signals as they should. I own the Chatam route, so if that solves the floating signals that would great!

    I find it odd that the Platform Clutter Pack is not merged into another route to allow its assets to be used there, in the same way that trains are merged for use in scenarios like on ECML Modern.

    You own the route that has the signals but you don't own the route that has the gantries to support them
    The Signal and the Gantry are two separate items.
