    I was running the Class 31 scenario on Woodhead in Blue, and was surprised to see a milk bottle on the route, given it's a DTG route and not a third party one requiring myriad assets which might be missing.

    The missing asset is obviously a signal set to yellow, as the next was red, iirc. Don't think there was an AWS ramp there either, as I presume there would have been an alert, even with the missing signal asset, or does the signal script not work if the asset itself is missing?

    Anyone able to identify why this signal is missing? Is it a different type from the others in the route?

    Route position visible in the HUD in the photo, and coordinates are:

    I've checked the route - there is nothing but shrubs, no milk bottle. I take it this asset is only present in the scenario. Can you name that scenario - then we can check its "Scenery" folder and the ScenarioNetworkProperties.

    I got it.

    It's from the ScenarioPack by SevenHills. The ScenarioNetworkProperties is referring to a file in the DTG assets that does not exist.

    This happens for example if the scenario developer enhances the route with their own assets and copies them to the original assets folder - only he has them. It seems 7H has made its own distant signal (and named it WHBR_TB uq distant scenario) a bad decision to copy your own assets into someone else's folder - you will forget about putting it in the pack you're releasing.

    So it's SevenHills' fault. Probably not that important though. Well spotted!

    Note: For their York-Peterborough scenario pack they have delivered additional assets, found in Assets\SevenHills.

    Cheers, Torf. Sorry I completely forgot to name the scenario. It was no biggie, just very unexpected to see. Thanks for doing the sleuthing!

    No prob - btw I think the SevenHills scenario packs are really good. I've used the Spring Sale to pick up loads of Marketplace items like the Fastline Simulation stock thats required here.

    The name doesn’t ring a bell: did they made the BR Blue pack, where I presume the 31 scenario was in, if not coming with the WEinB route.

    They made the Woodhead BR scenario pack (which comes with the mentioned Class 31 scenario) and a pack for Peterborough-York Modern (plus bonus repaints). Really fine scenarios with lots of traffic.
