I hope you enjoy this route and any feedback would be much appricated. Thank you too everyone that has left development support on the ATS Facebook group 😉
hI – thanks for amends on cornwall bit which there is bit of problem with tunnel still, but nothing major.
Unfortunately heading eastbound on 1615 the train derails at Totnes as the track is completely out of sync so the train rocks from side to side then derails – it is repeatably. There are other rough spots on route (near Plymouth but also on Rattery eastbound), but they carry on.
The Totnes station track issue is impossible to get past even at 5mph.
Hi Martin Ashcroft, I saw your comment on Train Sim Community regarding Totnes. I am aware of the issue and I have tried to fix it (waiting to be tested) but should hopefully be on the next update.
I am assuming it is you that sent the comment on TSC. Thank you for your feedback.

can you let use know when it’s been updated? Thanks
There is a update due soon 😉 stay tuned.

Would probably be a good idea to include installation instructions rather than us have to find out for ourselves.
Thank you, done now. I needed the product anyways 😉
how do you install it ive done what it said moved content folder into railworks folder and still not appering for me could you help me and tell me how to install it please
Hello Hayden thank you for reaching out. You should just be able to move the included Content folder into the main Railworks folder then the route should be installed. I have found that sometimes an included Railworks folder don’t install something properly. my biggest suggest is to go into the included Railworks folder for the route then move the included Content folder into the actual Railworks folder (Ie the main Train Simulator fiolder) It should work that way.
Hope this helps, Eddiestobart17.
Hayden, you left click and hold the ‘Content’ folder, the one with this route inside, and drag it over the top of your ‘Railworks’ folder, then let go. It may ask you if you want to ovewrite, click ‘Yes’. It will not ask you to overwrite if it’s the first time you’ve installed this route or previous versions.
Would be great to re-brand the whole route as GWR
There is GWR trains everywhere, couldn’t be more GWR if it tried :).
I knew what you meant. The signage work for the existing station assets would be too much of a hassle.
Custom signs for Marsh Barton though 🙂
Thank you Ade2022.
we lowk need a continuation of BHPB V4.1
Not sure what the progress on BHBP is, been ages since the last update.
hi – thanks for this – really exciting, obviously the resignalling in cornwall is complicated so not for this version, but some other things which maybe me, but don’t think so:
(1) significant problems around Lostwithiel / Par with beige rectangles cutting out the scenery so you go ~blind you can’t see the track etc. came out of it about st austell.
(2) some blocked tunnels with bricks instead of open (Truro)
(3) Hemerdon loop has been removed at top of bank
was driving 1Z12 with AP accurate time/sky and latest AP sky enhancement pack loaded (14.6.26)
Hope this helps.
I might know what is causing the issues around the route. I changed the RouteProperties file so it is using the Riviera Line blueprints. Someone within the community has made the fixed RouteProperties files . It is something to do with not loading the route correctly at times or something like that. Are you getting any other issues along the route like between Plymouth and Exeter? I know of a speed linit sign at Dawlish is showing a value of 0 which I am not sure how that happened.
It will be a few weeks until the patch is implemented onto the route.
Thank you Martin Ashcroft.
No just the area lostwithiel to just before st Austell; some parts just off to side but worst is where you can’t see anything eg around lostwithiel
Yeah thank you, Someone else has mentioned this issue on the Facebook Group of ATS. It will be a couple of weeks until the fix is added to an update as I am on holiday at the time of this response.
Thank you, I am glad you are not having issues at other sections of the route. 🙂
I didn’t upload the 2018 version update, will this be included in this 2025 version?
Should work, John Bracher it is a seperate route.
Thank you
Move to Routes catergory.
