Kuju Route AP Track Patch
6th March 2021Requirements:
European loco and asset pack (Steam)
Great Western Main Line (Steam)*
East Coast Main Line (Steam)*
Somerset & Dorset Railway (Steam)*
TestTraK (Steam)*
AP Track Enhancement Pack (Armstrong Powerhouse)
*=You dont need all of these, but you do need at least one of them
Installation – we all know the drill – drop the content folders into the RailWorks folder and you should be golden
Right, here we are, something no one asked for or needed. But hey, at least theres something.
I am only a novice, however, so dont expect anything decent. This is simply a retexture so some
parts may be a little shoddy, and some trackbed textures cant be replaced because they’re not actually track textures, its only on very short bits though so theres no need to worry about it too much.
In this pack
-Track Enhancement
-Texture Enhancement
-Quick Drive for TestTraK (more of a ‘convenient free roam’, really.)
BE WARNED: Because the terrain texture files are in the Euro loco and asset pack, the textures may
show on other Kuju routes which this track patch doesn’t cover which might make them look a little odd. TesTraKs files are separate from the Kuju folder so the terrain texture replacement files are included within the track patch.
Let me know if there’s any game-breaking issues or something and I’ll get ’em fixed.
I’d also advise making a back up of these routes – or just reinstall them if anything goes wrong
You don’t need the AP Track as it you’ll get the default DTG Tracks instead as seen in most of the DTG Routes not the Kuju ones
Would you be able to make a patch that applies this to other routes using Kuju track like JetGriff’s routes, North Lincolnshire and any SDJR extensions on Workshop? How did you do it in the first place?
perhaps, perhaps, its done by fiddling with the tracks.bin files, theres a tutorial on the site you get TS tools from
Only tried this briefly on the GWML so far as I’m working my way through a complete Railworks reinstall (far too many glitches showing up), but it makes this old route fresh and interesting again, so thanks for posting it.
One suggestion, if you can, lift the track 0.0600 with TSTools, but not the track-side objects – it should remove any terrain bleed and stop the AWS ramps “floating” above the track.
woow brillant
any chance u can do same for western lines of scotland ?
Hello JollyGood02, thank you for this brilliant piece of work! It gives the old Kuju routes a complete new look and feel. Unfortunately the bumper stops have disappeared now. Do you know how to solve this problem?
Thank you in advance for your reply!
Ah, sorry for the late reply, would it be worth reinstalling the euro loco and asset pack?
Hello JollyGood02, thank you for your reply. I´ve tried this, but unfortunately this didn´t help.
Nice work mate I’ve been waiting for this but I have two questions is it possible to make the textures of the track bed and ballast the same and does it work for Kuju ECML and Dorset and Somerset, other than that brilliant job
Hello. JoolyGood02 beat me to it 😂I have a few old networks/routes in mind for track updates. Stay safe.
yea I think I accidentally used the default Chatham track bed texture, which is much darker than the ap one. Because the bin file for the textures come as part of the euro loco and asset back, it’ll automatically apply to all Kuju routes. This pack only works for the GWML, but it should be pretty simple to swap the tracks out on the ECML nah Somerset & Dorset, I might make a pack for them soon but we’ll see
Hello. I’m on my phone at the moment. When I get my PC Back, well I’m getting a new one today, or download it later! Thank you! This was very much needed!
any chance u can make this for western lines of scotland and north lincs route please 🙂
