Western Mainlines Electrification Project – Stage 1.5 to Didcot
8th May 2020This is the long awaited GWML Electrification project with no more floating gantries, signals, out of place platforms or missing wires. Thanks to Pete Mitchell from ATS, Martin Masterson and Alex55 for all the brilliant advice he has given us.
Stage 1 includes OHLE from London Paddington to Didcot Parkway as well as new stop signs, station signs, benches and CCTV cameras to enhance the Western Mainlines experience. We have used different cab ride videos and satelite imagery to make sure the placement of the OHLE is accurate however in some places this is just not possible due to the modelling of the route.
Requirements:
– Just Trains Western Mainlines
– Alan Thomson Simulation OHLE pack
– Just Trains Metropolitan Line or London to Aylesbury (for new CCTV cameras and benches)
– Hornsey Studios TFL Rail benches
– Major Wales Design IET stop marker pack
– James Northcott GWML Electrification project asset pack
– DTG Southampton to Bournemouth
Links to these can be found in the included readme
Enjoy!
could you email me please Oliver. I have some stuff here that might interest you regarding this route. my email address is [email protected] sorry to ask you on here. I just don’t have Facebook or any other way of getting hold of you. Thank you.
Been trying to make scenarios on this route running a full length to Penzance but there is no scenery beyond Newton Abbot, I have the full route, OHLE, London Aylesbury and Southampton to Bournemouth. Am i missing any patches or additional requirements?
The original Western Mainlines pack only had scenery to Exeter with addon packs needed for South Devon as far as Plymouth (With another extension pack for the Paignton branchline) and then the Cornish Mainline extension from Plymouth to Penzance. If you don’t have those then that’s probably the reason for running out of detailed scenery.
I noticed part of the requirements is only Western Mainlines (no mention of extentions), so is this route based on the original Paddington to Exeter part?
I do have all the extentions, (tried re-installing too) but still all i get is bare patches, roads, invisible platforms after Newton Abbot (and also the Oxford Bicester section), so thought I’d double check if that might explain how the extension scenery is not there maybe. I just assumed it would paste on top of the JT version. Of course correct me if I’m wrong, I’m not too tech savvy on these things.
This is a great route, really enjoying it. The route however is littered with milk bottles everywhere. Is this intentional?
When will it go as far as Cardiff like irl? It’s fun and all going electric to Didcot, but you can’t use an IEP any further than that on electric.
Hi,
First of all this is a wonderful upgrade, many thanks. I have two questions regarding this project…
1). Do you plan to upgrade the route with neutral sections at some point?
2). Are there any plans to upgrade the track around Maidenhead to include the Crossrail Sidings and Turnback Siding? And then add access to Platform 5 from the Up Relief?
Thanks!
Hi.
After a lot of fiddling about (there seems to be a lot of pointing to non-existent folders going on with this route), i am just left with this file missing:
Assets\Jamesclass37\TfL Rail Burnham\Main\TfL Rail Burnham.bin
It doesn’t seem to be included in the James Northcott GWML Electrification Project Asset Pack.
Can anybody help please?
Thanks
Terrone.
here’s the download link mate

how do you install the great western route
follow the readme
i have done that but the Assets and content folder were empty
There is a problem with the track on the up relief, just west of Maidenhead portal. Not set up for electic trains, and is freight only @ 20mph. This means you cannot route up relief from Twyford to Maidenhead.
Would you be able to provide the coordinates for this?
Lat: 51.48780
Long: -0.75869
This has been fixed now
Re ground texture problems.
You may want to have a look at your “TerrainBlueprint” in your RouteProperties.xml.
Currently pointing to Kuju and I think it should be JT ?
Thanks for posting this, I was struggling to find the problem. Changing that entry to the same as the Western Mainlines (Common Library), has fixed the missing ground textures.
This has been fixed now thanks to you 🙂 and Martin M, thanks Alex.
If you re-download now, it will be fixed
Platform extensions at Slough are invisible.
There are no platform extensions at slough…
Is this a standard / qd/ free roam /scenario?
No its a route as it clearly says
If anyones having trouble with Benches they’re in the Common Library in the just train folder not the Chiltern Mainline library. 🙂
Oh, I thought they were chiltern mainline/London-Aylesbury only, that’s what it states on the download page for them
hi can someone please help i have installed the route but their are yellow black and white textures everywhere to you know a way to fix this
I’m having the same problem too, even with a full reinstall of the original and this version.
Try updating your OHLE pack
Sadly that doesn’t seem to have fixed it.
What textures are not there, is it just the OHLE?
It works for most others
ground textures are the problem

Have you tried reinstalling both routes?
Just tried a reinstall again including deleting the folders, and still the same issue for me.
No idea then sorry, maybe check your settings and verify you have all the assets?
Got the Rail Benches & MWD marker pack but could not find James Northcott files
The link is in the readme, have you looked everywhere on his site?
