    I emailed just over a week ago but had no response which is a shame as it looked good

    I remember seeing SVR somewhere but I'm not 100% sure it was SSS.
    If it was SSS then maybe they are revamping it to release it as payware and they are keeping quiet about it.
    Or, removed through licencing issues with the SVR.

    SSS are pretty good with communications.

    It was available, maybe as a beta IIRC. It was removed and I think will come back again from what I read, I think the new version has at first only been offered to subscribers to the newsletter.

    The route is still available to download according to the SSS Facebook page but, to quote another player "good as the route itself undoubtedly is, the vast majority of the scenarios for it are fundamentally flawed."

    SSS take some time to respond but they will get back to you and give you the link to SVR. It’s a wonderful route. I have a lot of routes and other items but the Scenarios need a whole host of requirements I didn’t know existed. I have been working through them and only need a few extra’s now to get in a sale, but really are not worth it, but honestly, although it is a favourite heritage line of mine and the designer does it proud it is not worth collecting all the requirements to make it work properly in my view.

    Keep contacting SSS Mark will respond eventually

    When you download a Freeware route you need the Payware assets to make things appear,
    If you don't have any tracks then you don't own the route it gets the tracks from.

    There is a Readme file with the route which says you need these items for it to work
    ➢ West Somerset Railway – Steam
    ➢ Bristol to Exeter – Just Trains
    ➢ European Assets Pack – Steam
    ➢ London to Brighton – Steam
    ➢ Falmouth Branch – Steam
    ➢ Portsmouth Direct(Original) – Steam
    ➢ Woodhead(Original) – Steam
    ➢ Isle of Wight – Steam
    ➢ Riviera in the Fifties – Steam

    If you don't have them you will find missing Track/Buildings/Signals etc

    And also check all the Freeware items from UKTS and other places - they are in the Readme
