    Announcing a new route just uploaded to the Steam Workshop.
    The route i.d. is: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3295118295

    This is an approximate 30 mile extension to the Riviera Line in the 50s route and now includes the main line from Newton Abbot to Plymouth North Road.

    Quick Drives are included for all parts of the route and cover 'fast' and 'local' services. AI traffic has been set up using the Exeter Kingswear route Preload. Consists will have to be edited to add this route. RW Tools makes this editing easy but if required I can upload the Pre-Load somewhere.

    View attachment 175611 New stations included:
    Totnes
    Brent
    Wrangaton
    Bittaford
    Ivybridge
    Cornwood
    Plympton
    Plymouth

    Laira has been modelled pre the construction of the Diesel Depot. There was no available model for the Roundhouse so an ordinary turntable has been used.

    The track on the original route has been swopped for the grey ballast track and the Riviera Line texture set used so as to match up the track bed.
    Some work has been done to the scenery on the original Riviera Line in the 50s to make it more aligned to my view of route building.

    Scenarios will be forrthcoming once I can finalise the route.
    Some grabs from the route.

    Whoa! This looks to be right up my alley. I've subscribed and will give it a look-see after today's breakfast (which I will prepare once this comment is posted).

    The route has now been made 'Final' on the workshop.
    Anyone who subscribed, copied the route and then un subscribed may wish to re-download the latest and final version as there has been some signalling changes.

    Unfortunately I have discovered that several coach packs seem to have been withdrawn from the Steam MarketPlace. As I used them quite extensively, pretty much all of the scenarios I have built, will not upload.

    I will now be uploading my scenarios for this route to :
    https://www.trainsimcommunity.com/

    The first 2 have been uploaded and are:
    The Up Cornish Riviera Express (Plymouth to Exeter Non Stop)
    The 11.30 Paddington to Plymouth (Exeter to Plymouth with stops at the major holiday destinations)

    Thank you. Maybe you could directly link to the TSC scenarios on the Workshop page once uploaded, so people will find them more easily. :)

    Hi, Good idea. :) I've linked the TSC site but i'll have a look to see if I can work out how to link individual scenarios.

    Nice:). I know its ap skies but is that with the 'extra'clouds? I've got version 2 but I can't get it looking like that.
    As I can't put the scenarios up on the workshop, i'm adding the ap skies to the next batch that will get uploaded probably on Monday.
