I'm having some trouble with the route, for example, it won't show up in quick drive. Can anyone help?

Trobule is when a developer marks it as a final build on steam they cant then go back and edit it it locks in. Having spoken to ian directly he is busy with something else just now so doubt he will be back at this any time soon.

Speedy: Not what I meant. You can't publish them on the Workshop unless a route has been marked Final. So I don't see any of your scenarios, or anyone else's, unless published on a site where I find them.

you can make and play scenarios on it already its been released for years.

Are you still working on this route? Or can we eventually have a final build (even if it's a v1 with another release later under a new route ID) so that we can start making and playing scenarios on the Steam Workshop with it?

The Oban Line is part of the route - you don't need to get it from UKTS any more. This was agreed with the original author some time ago.

There are actually no further requirements for this, other than the core routes and the asset pack outlined above. There are no quick drives included with this distribution of it!

Registration for UKTS is closed - is the Oban Line available anywhere else?

@fastpaced UKTS but you gotta be quick as it is closing in a few days

Anyone know where I can download The Oban Line route ?

i'm having problems of the route flagging routs it doesn't need and will NOT show up in quick drive at all

if your talking about the scenarios i mention by welshy jim as mentioned in my comment they are on Alanthimpsonsim he uploads his scenarios there.

If you are on about the oban part as mentioned by the developer in his comment he clearly states he has not done anything for it yet

Good to know Speedy. I presume not on Workshop because it is not final yet.

Excellent to hear also Welshyjim has some amazing scenarios i highly recommend for this merge over on Alanthompsonsim.

tluamini. That's great to hear. Thank you for replying :)

@WelshyJim - in theory, yes! I've not abandoned the project, I've just not done anything for it yet. I expect to have more time in the Spring, so might get going on the Loch Awe area at that point.

@garywalker1963 - this is an RETB route, so the only regular lineside signals are at Craigendoran Junction and Fort William. Everything else is stop boards at the station. You can work with the assumption that if the stop board is flashing, the line is clear and you have the token. Otherwise it's occupied!

Its a lovely route but just a question about signals, I'm at Garlochead and have not seen any lineside signals, plenty of ground signals but no mainline signals. Am i missing something? All other stuff works ok

Thank you so much for creating this merge. Loving making and driving scenarios on it. One question I do have...... Is the scenery still being updated for the Oban Line?

Hey Speedy, it's on UKTS but I do not think you actually have to have it. I'll DM you about it. It has its own scenarios (you'll have to swap the 37 and 66), so you might be interested anyway.

Hi looks fantastic where do i download the oban route from having trouble finding it

many thanks

Is this still being worked on, BTW? I see no updates in roughly the last year and I'm sure this would be home to scenarios pretty quickly once a final version is ready, but I know you are getting it just right first. .

kentboy, don't run from the Workshop tab. Load up a Quick Drive normally and it should be fine. If it's not letting you play despite having both routes and the asset pack, that's an outright shame and should not be occurring. A possible cure is deleting the route as copied from the Workshop files and reinstating it by navigating to Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\24010\2355023456, opening the file there, and copying the Content folder into the Railworks directory. This prevents it being tagged with the stuff that it doesn't actually need. (Make sure you unsubscribe before loading the game to play it as the game WILL overwrite it otherwise! You would have to monitor on your own for future updates if you do this, as well.)

This Line is brilliant and all the signals LED lighting stop boards make it look Smart. there's other versions like this but the other ones where in a need of a upgrade. it needed better signals stop boards eta. Also i noticed the section between fortwilliam and spean bridge. the Jointed tracks sound epic! if only the other sections where also like that better jointed tracks. Also i would like to see that you can stop and start at Crianlarich station like the scotrail train staff have crew change overs there. like in the simulator you can stop there and start again. But that's just me. But i would give this Full version a Full 10 out of 10 for all the good work you have done. i love this version better and any other versions that people have tried to upgrade it. Many thanks to tlamiani for this version :)

Excellent thank you.

@Peter D - the Oban line is included in this update. It is not required beforehand.

I am struggling to find The Oban Line to allow me to add the merge, can you please advise me where to find it. Thanks

@kentboy - it does not require Metropolitan Line. The requirements are simply the source routes plus European Loco and Asset Pack. I'm not sure why the Workshop would be telling you it needs anything else!

Great merge. Can't wait to have a full run from Glasgow to Mallaig now! Thank you for doing this

Can't get this route to show up. According to the 'in game' Workshop tab, there are more required add-ons which are not listed in the description above - one being Metropolitan Line. Well, I'm not buying that rubbish. Shame, because this full route looks amazing.

not showing in game

I am having issues with this. SO keen as it is my local line. but it keeps telling me I need other extensions such as the glasgow airport link, midland mainline route (london to bedford), the metropolitan route, a us loco and asset pack, uk led asset and train moddlers assets which are both retired for some reason making me unable to use. I mean I have everything mentioned that I needed fro, here so it installed the full route. I bit confused. Help would be appreciated

WOW! Is all I can say. It must be around 15 years since I created the Oban Line and to be able to drive all the way from Glasgow now is awesome. It's taken me a while to get round to it as didn't have the suburban bit, I do now. Also, I love the work you've done from Crianlarich to Dalmally. Gives it a much more polished look. Can't wait to see you finish the rest of it. Thank you

I'm going to create a scenario pack for it. One down, a few to go :D

Thank you for your reply tluamiani. If I knew how to get EandG and WCML North into the one route, I would like to try joining them together. I appreciate that a good bit of route building would be necessary, but as far as track laying is concerned, that doesn't bother me. As I see it, I've already filled the gaps twice, but haven't had the WCML South in the package, to which I can join it. If I knew how to get it in, it would be very helpful, thanks again for your feedback.

PS. I'm now going to explore Blender and see how I get on.

@codeyking350 - sure, thanks for pointing that out. I'll have a look at that in due course, when I'm working on the Oban line again, and hopefully have it fixed for the next version.

@andrewpearson755 - it is very difficult and time consuming to merge routes, especially if they do not share the same start location. Plus, even if you do get them bolted, you'll still need to do some actual route building in order to blend them together! For 3D design, I almost exclusively use blender now for new items, although there was a time where I used 3DCrafter as well. 3DC is still useful for one thing - as far as I know, it's the only 3D software that actually allows you to import IGS files! This can be very useful.

On a different tact, and perhaps this is not the thread to do this, but I am new to forums, so please bear with me, what is used nowadays to create scenery objects? I've got an old version of Amabilis 3dCrafter Pro, which was my 2nd piece of modelling software, with which I've had limited success on TS 2020/21. I would be obliged if someone could point me in the right direction if necessary for the right thread, and/or in the right direction to acquire the software used nowadays.

How do you merge routes? Twice, I have laid running track, on two releases of Edinburgh and Glasgow, to fill the gaps between Castlecary, Springburn, and Coatbridge on the EandG, via Cumbernauld, Gartcosh, and Stepps. I emphasize however, that these are simply running tracks, little or no scenery has been included. I've always liked the idea of joining EandG with WCML South, as has been mentioned elsewhere in this thread. If I knew how to merge routes, I would love to try doing so with these two, at least to allow running between them. I doubt whether I would have the skill or patience however, that some of you guys/gals seem to have in creating the scenery.

@tluamiani There's a bug in quick drive when going from Oban to Glasgow Qn Strt. At Taynuilt, the points seem to be set to take you into the siding by default. You can change their direction, but to go through the wrong platform.
Otherwise, great work!

@interceptor1241 - what are your density settings set to? I would suggest turn them up max for this.

@tluamiani I've tried driving the Oban line but it seems a lot of the scenery doesn't show up in quick drive but shows up when I go into world editor and hold the curser in the spot where the object is meant to be. Floating trees seem to be quite common along this stretch as well.

@interceptor1241 - Thanks for the comments! I'm not sure why the tags and links show the way they do, and I'm unable to edit them - but the only requirements for this merge are the three underlying routes (Suburban Glasgow Northwest, West Highland Line South and West Highland Line Extension) and the European Loco and Asset Pack.

The Oban Line doesn't require anything else and is included here in full, although it's worth bearing in mind that most of it is very dated and in the process of being upgraded!

@tamhandley - I'm glad you like it. :-)

@tluamiani Found it, Spent some time driving on the line. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Looking forward to what comes next. Thank You for the help.

@tluamiani I have just tried again today and the workshop tab is still greyed out and I cannot find it anywhere else. Is it a quick drive or is it a standard scenario? I am quite new to this game so I am still trying to figure my way around it all. Thanks for the help.

Just did a full drive from Glasgow Queen Street to Mallaig in the Class 156. Stunning scenery and so well put together. I need to know if I need the Metropolitan Line and Glasgow Airport Rail Link for the Oban line to fully work.

@tamhandley - it can take some time to download and install. If you check again today it should be there.

I have just subscribed to this but I cannot find a way to launch it in the game. I have all the required parts to play it but the play button on the workshop tab is just greyed out.

Brilliant. Just had a quick drive on this. Will be looking to do a full run from Glasgow to Mallaig soon with a Class 156.

Oh hey. Just need to get West Highland Line itself and I'd be able to use this, but this is brilliant.

I'd really like to see the Argyle Line get fully done as well, which would require Dalmuir all the way to Carstairs and Larkhall, on WCML North, as well as the extension past Coatbridge to Cumbernauld. Not sure if Rivet would be willing to let you host this off the Workshop as Anderston Station cannot be created and limited to the workshop without using assets unable to be used on Workshop, and WCML North needs a huge scenery update as well as the addition of Cumbernauld and Greenfaulds to the north before they meet Edinburgh-Glasgow from 2010. These three stations would give us the entire Argyle Line, and cut everything beyond Kilpatrick to save memory. Similar cuts could theoretically be made to the Springburn area, though having the connection to Robroyston and Steppes, to Gartcosh Junction to Coatbridge, might be neat since the junction leads to Greenfaulds anyway.

@darrenkennedy01 - it includes the Oban line, you don't need to download it first. Remember much of it is very old though and steadily being updated.

where can I get the Oban Line?

This is excellent thanks for creating and sharing

Thanks for this looks exciting just need to find some Scenarios now!

Nice one Iain, looking forward to getting a drive on this once again!
