    Hi everyone,

    After getting to grips with the official TSW4 editor I thought I'd get some more practice in by layering over some nicely detailed scenery to bring this route up to modern standards.

    Features include

    • Adds Thameslink Class 700 stop boards to relevant platforms: RLU for 8 car units, FLU for 12 car units, or ALL for both types of 700. These may not be protypically placed, but I added them where DTG put in the stop markers for a 0m stop
    • Adds DOO screens/mirrors, still in situ in 2018 on stations
    • Rebuilds the lineside between Reigate and Redhill (Level crossing at Reigate is not raisable to due being unable to place tracklinks)
    • Rebuilds the scenery on the Quarry Line section north of Sands Tunnel. Adding missing bridges, cuttings, fencing, foliage and buildings
    • Adds lineside fences across the route where they were obviously missing
    • Adds anti-trespass railings and spike mats on platform ends
    • Adds bits of lineside clutter and lighting where appropriate
    • Adds missing lighting at Balcombe platform 1
    • Adds dioramas, trackside workers etc, fully animated
    • Adds extra grass and foliage throughout
    You need SEHS and GWE for the added scenery.

    My intention is to do something similar with Tees Valley using some of the lovely Blackpool-Ormy assets, I've already made a good start.

    Hi, I've tried out the mod and it's excellent! Loving the inclusion of trackside workers and various pieces of environmental scenery, makes the route feel a whole lot more immersive. I was wondering if you could add some fences to the London end platforms at Clapham Junction? The original route was rushed at release in this regard, as the platforms at Clapham Junction have steep drops onto the adjacent tracks where there is a fence there in reality. DTG also didn't include stopping markers at Clapham Junction and the underpass to change platforms is on the wrong end of the platform, in reality it's also at the London end. Would be nice if this could be fixed, cheers and great work :)

    Love this, excellent work. I can't tell you how hyped I am for a TVL Scenery Pack!

    Have run a 700 12 car service as far as Hayward Heath and the new stop signs are present. Only observation is that at Hassock, there is no mirror at the end of the platform, 12 car stop, but there is one at the 8 car stopping point. Performance is fine with this mod in place. As far as some of the scenery upgrades, others will have to chime in on them.

    Nothing to do with this update, but, after the last DTG update, do I need to re install your earlier mods, even though their pak files are still in my DLC folder?

    No, it’s all good. Only things that have been updated on TSC since the 8th need re-downloading.

    Thameslink only needed the DOO equipment for 8 cars. They didn't run 12 car class 319s

    Put me down as another really looking forward to the Tees Valley improvements.

    What with this, Faux's timetable, Public Editor scenarios and Formation Designer the route is going to be really great. Thanks very much for your efforts.

    The pack has been updated today to fix and add some scenery, thanks for the feedback!

    Added fencing & stop boards at Clapham Junction. Clutter from Vic - Streatham. Moved DOO screens to left side on down Brighton slow at Balham. Some scenery around Redhill changed. More missing fences added around Haywards Heath.

    Bear in mind I can't really move or change existing scenery as those tiles are read-only, Clapham subway is part of the station mesh. I had some requests to deforest Redhill & Salfords which isn't possible.

    Just tried it this afternoon, the improvements are excellent thank you! Only thing I noticed was that the brown fences at Clapham Junction have no collisions and you can walk through them. The stop markers and added clutter go a long way at enhancing the environment though, thanks for taking on feedback too :)

    I don't know if it's from the mod, or from the latest update, but when I switch from the map view, and back to the driving view, I see the number that indicates the traction on the hud is displayed large, but for barely 1 second.
    Excuse my English, it comes from Google translate.
    I'm on PC

    D'oh I knew I'd forget collisions at some point. I'll fix that when I can

    Nothing to do with this. It's just a scenery layer

    Hey bescot just an update from playing with your excellent mod today, I found that there is no 4-Car Stopping Board on the Coulsdon South Down Platform, it would be helpful if this could be added in and I've found everything else with your mod to be amazing, cheers :)
