    Hi again all, I've been working on yet another new enhancement pack for the recent (delayed) release of the West Cornwall Local route by Rivet Games.

    Originally I wasn't intending to mod this route, nor in fact purchase it due to how rather disappointing it looked in the preview streams. However, I decided to take the risky move of purchasing it mostly just for testing out my modding skills and I believe I've gotten to a stage where I am actually enjoying WCL for quite a large portion of the time!

    The screenshots shown below are some of the changes I have incorporated. It is currently not complete as there are a few things that need tweaking/adjusting before it will be uploaded onto TSC

    WCL certainly needs enhancing to make it look right. Don’t expect Rivet will do it.

    That's not something you can do without an editor I'm afraid.

    Can you do something about these bushels of grain? It really looks bad for some reason. I would appreciate it a lot. i think the colour might be chaned to make it less bleach and a bit more yellow/brown. It hten snads less out in the landscape and will integrate better.

    Oh dear that grain looks pitiful.
    The dev responsible needs to get out more.

    Are those even textures at all? Or might be bad material settings thst make them look like this in the rain?

    Or do they look like this in every weather?

    A bit of progress on the WCL enhancement.

    I was given some feedback regarding the mixed eras of the posters I had used, so I decided to dig deeper into the internet and tried to grab as many early 90s ones as I could find.

    I think these are definitely better than what I had used before and I am quite happy with them.

    I will leave you with some screenshots of the posters that have been used, will keep you posted when more progress is made.

    Thanks!

    I preferred the 80's posters as it would of suited the BR Blue more but that's just my personal preference. Would it be possible to create an 80's pack and 90's pack? or is that being too greedy ;)

    I have enjoyed the route quite a bit, looking forward to these enhancements! I hope we can get some sort of working PIS at some point.

    Hi mate! Amazing work

    is there an update for this at all? I tend not to play the routes much until yourself/London Midland etc drop mods, varsity improve the realism.

    Cheers!

    Hi there, at the moment progress has sort of halted as I have other projects going on and I've sort of lost interest in TSW2 due to the lack of new content. It will get done eventually, i've not given up on it.

    Hi all, as you may know progress for this EP halted a while ago as I had lost interest in TSW all together.

    However, a couple of hours ago I was asked if this could be released as people were still interested in it, so I decided to quickly get TSW out and start working on it again.

    There were a few things I needed to fix beforehand, and some new changes & additions were made as well.

    The retaining wall at Penzance was brightened up as it was too dark

    I'm still looking at what else I can potentially change, but I believe I've reached a point where I feel that this can be released now, so keep your eyes peeled as I plan to upload this onto TSC hopefully within a few hours :)

    Id echo this. The mods that add the posters and the proper maps and the other nice little touches finish the routes for me too. Thank you SprattyHeath

    Something else I've just been playing around with is the external visuals of the 150. I find it just a tad too clean imo, so I gave it a quick dash of weathering just to give it a bit of a dirty look as these were not exactly the cleanest of units.

    It is my first time doing it so there are a few things I still need to tweak/improve, I shall hopefully be incorporating it into the EP as well.

    Thanks for updating. An immersion booster for a route is always welcome.

    Thanks for your hard work.
    I so much want to enjoy this route, if they hadn’t done such a poor job with the scenery…

    Hi everyone, it's been a while since I last posted something about this mod (over a year in fact)

    I'm happy to report that I've gone back to this mod and incorporated yet more changes to it (this being an update mainly focused on the rolling stock) those changes are as follows:

    Class 150/2:
    • Backdated the cab which removes various modern safety systems including the DRA, TPWS, & OTMR as per the early 90s
    • Retextured rollblinds from the original white background to a black background with 'fluorescent yellow' text
    • Reduced the volume of the audible door alarm so it's no longer ear piercingly loud up close
    Class 37/5:
    • New Railfreight Grey livery with red banding along the bottom of the skirt
    • A re-positioned centre headcode panel which should give the 37 a slightly better overall look
    • Resized & repositioned logos such as the Double Arrow Logo & Railfreight badge
    As per usual I've included some screenshots below.

    Thanks all :)

    Nice work, i have a question: is the backdated cab only in wcl or will it be over entire tsw?

    Not sure what you mean by entire TSW, it applies to just the 150 cab.
