a TSC classic.

Hello Huggy. Glad you like the route. Thanks for commenting.

Really nice route, looks great and everything works. Nice one!

Here is a list of all the workshop scenarios for the route.

Hello Roland. Sorry I am not going to be any help to you. I don't know any route that has a quarry metal discharge loader. I don't have the 'Hatchet Hill Quarry' or 'Stevens Pass' routes myself. Anyway thanks for your comments and best wishes for your route.

@heyjoe I have just subscribed to this route, which is as good as your previous routes.
Anyway I am interested in the loader at your Quarry, I noticed it is actually a coal loader and wondered if there is a loader available anymore for quarry metal discharge?
I know what will show up in the wagons will be dependent on the wagon type, not what is shown coming from the loader. But it would be nice to find a loader that will do the same as that one which came with the Hatchet Hill Quarry.
Do you know of one being available that is available through a UK route that could be used in the Workshop?
Why I am asking is I wish to re-master my "Whatley Quarry" route that uses loaders from both "Hatchet Hill Quarry" and "Stevens Pass", both now unavailable to the Rest of the World.
Cheers, Roland.

Hello El_Muna. It's not possible to AI with QuickDrive as far as I know.

Include Ai when play QuickDrive ?

Superb route as usual mate keep them coming much better than paying £25 for a route.

Hello William. Thanks for your comments. Good to know that my route is appreciated.

Probably your best route. Great for scenario creation and with plenty to see. I can always find more things to do when creating scenarios. So many places to go and very much user friendly. Thanks heyjoe!

Great Route with plenty of interest and potential for some great scenarios.Well done

I did get your message heyjoe. Thank you.

Hello Not.Silent. I have tried sending a 'friends' message to you but i'm not sure if I did it right.

Thanks heyjoe. I can understand you not getting involved with the 'friends' idea. I only started recently with a small group only. Using VIEW FRIENDS LIST bottom right, Not .Silent will be visible. It is reasonably self explanatory from that point. Will type something once I open your 'portal' for want of a better word!

Hello Not.Silent. I have not had 'friends' before so I don't know how it works. Anyway I have accepted your invite and I would like to help your friend if I can.

Hi heyjoe, would you be able to contact me re a Friends site (request sent)? I have someone I would like to help please - with your help and expertise.

Hello wisewriters. Thank you for your comment. Good to know my routes and used and enjoyed.

Oh Deep Joy. Ridgeway andf Ragland are all anyone needs.

Hello gasman and brother jimsinclair. Many thanks for your comments and i am glad to know you are enjoying using this route. I am also a follower of works published by Coasty so it was a big boost to me that he chose to publish a series of scenarios for this route.

heyjoe, my big brother (gasman222) gave me a "heads up" about your brilliant Ridgeway Railway, and I totally agree with what he wrote! Turns out I had subscribed to it a few months back and never got around to giving it a try. So, my sincere thanks to you for creating this route, and thanks also to Coasty for making your awesome route come to life for me! :-)

Joe, I just saw your route on Coasty's workshop. Everything he does is golden, in my opinion; so I had to give this a try. What a joy, spent 45 minutes with a big smile enjoying alll the good stuff you have packed into this area. So many good things, I hardly know where to start! All the little extras that make this scenery come to life, so much work and such an awesome result. I can't thank you enough for creating and sharing this bit of wonderfulness, it truly is a gem. I wanna be here, how much are the tickets?!

Hello coenvijge. Thanks for your comment. Yes I did enjoy making this route and it is very pleasing to know that it being used and enjoyed by others such as yourself.

If you enjoyed making it as much as I enjoyed using it than you must have had a very good time making it. It is GREAT. Thanks very much and I surely going to use it a lot!.

Very nice thanks

Hello Coasty. I very much appreciate your comments and glad you like this route. It is designed for operational interest and scenario creation. If you decide to create scenarios for this route i shall be the first to subscribe.

Hello gertj3. Many thanks for your comments. I'm glad to know you like the route.

Hi heyjoe, Many Thanks for sharing this wonderful piece of art! Even if fictional, I love this kind of landscape/route/era and I really enjoy it end to end as it offers a huge variety of options for all kind of passenger and freight scenarios. Really GREAT work! Cheers, Coasty

This is one awesome route, I just love it soooo much. Thanks so much for sharing, this is how a route should look like, 10/10. Simply the best !

Hello Paul. I shall straight-away subscribe to your scenario and give it a run.

Hello Heyjoe,
Have finally published a scenario on this lovely route, it is called:
"Sir Lamiel - Warfield to Hindford"
I just used Sir Lamiel without the extra N15 locos (from Steam Sounds Supreme) that were needed in my scenario on "Southbridge to Highwood (Electric 3rd rail)".
I featured other N15 locos but changed the numbers, leaving blank nameplates, with the excuse that as it is 1960 and these locos are being rapidly withdrawn, the name-plates have been "lifted" by light-fingered enthusiasts !
I wanted this to have a "Southern" flavour, so apart from the N15, I used the S15,Q1,and Light Pacifics but resisted the temptation to use other Southern locos, to hopefully capture a wider audience.
Anyway, hope you can play it without any problems, and I am planning more scenarios on this route in the future.
Best Regards,
Paul

Hello train-trains. Glad you like the route. Thanks for commenting.

Superb route. What else ..... to say. Thank you.

Hello david. Thanks for playing my routes and scenarios and making your comment. I hope you enjoy using them as much as I did making them. In the coming weeks I shall publish more scenarios for the Ridgeway Railway. There are several published scenarios for the Ragland Railway which you could run if you have not done so already.

Hello heyjoe! I've just discovered this fictional route (and Ragland, as well) and I have just driven around part of it. I'm delighted with what I've seen so far! I've also played around on the Ridgeway GWR Free Roam and enjoyed that immensely! Thank you for all your hard work in creating, and for sharing the route with us. (I have played a couple of your scenarios a while ago -- Port Road Run 01 and 02 -- and I remember being enthusiastic about those two.) Thanks again and regards, David.

Hello Scouser. Many thanks for you encouraging comments. I just try to make routes which are interesting to use. The real genius is in creating the assets and programming so it all works.

A superb route. In my opinion, heyjoe is a creative genius.

Thanks heyjoe. I shall contact support & see if I can get any info, or help from them. Its obviously a bug of some kind that's in my TRAINSIM FILES perhaps. Best wishes mate.

Hello again Colin. I have tested the coal loaders using the Austerity J94 and all 4 of the Woodhead hoppers, 16t and 21t. All worked OK for me. Sorry, I have no idea why it does not work for you or how it can be fixed. It would be interesting to know if anyone else has the same problem.

Good Morning, heyjoe. Yes I was trying to load up 21ton fitted hoppers which I had added from the Woodhead route. The loco was an Austerity class J94, with coal bunker facing the train, (reversing) in other words. This has occured with other routes for me too. It seems that if the coal loader of this type, is added to a route by a second party or if a route has been constructed from scratch, the the loader will, (for me anyway) freeze or crash my scenario. I have no problem with the loader if it is on an official TRAINSIM add on route, that one can buy. Strange isn't it ? but sometimes annoying. Any suggestions, my friend? on how I can possibly fix this bug. Best wishes. Colin. D.

Hello Colin. Thank you for trying out this route and making a comment and I'm glad to know you like it. Puzzled by your problem with the coal loader. I have tested both coal loaders with a number of different coal hoppers and wagons and all work fine for me. Can I ask want kind of hopper you were loading? Actually I just place the available assets on the route and I have no control of how well (or not) they work.

Hi heyjoe, I love the route, its great. Tried a Free Roam on it. There was a bug that I did discover though, the game freezes and crashes when I attempted to load coal at the mine. When a hopper is placed directly beneath the chute. Thi shappened when I pushed or pulled the train into position. Apart from this its a great route. I had to restart my P.C. when it crashed too. Best wishes & thanks. Colin. D.

Hi Heyjoe,
Thanks for your reply about Goodmoor platforms, that's perfectly sensible to me.
Have just tried another combination, this time from Linden to Marwell, once again everything went well start to finish.
Will keep doing more test scenarios, as I am learning the route and thoroughly enjoying it.
Best Regards,
Paul

Hello bri. Thank you for trying the route and I'm glad you like it. I am making scenarios for it already but I won't be able to publish them until the route is made final. I will give it a month or so to check the route for any errors and to allow time for subscribers to make any comments. Then it could be made final.

hi heyjoe ,just done a run on this route very well done ,are you doing any scenarios for it ,bri.

Hello paul. Yes the route is designed for making interesting scenarios. Your point about Goodmoor. Quick drive scenarios want to send the train on the most direct route, which in the case of Goodmoor is via Platform 1. I don't really want to put one-way restrictions on the Goodmoor platforms because, as you say, in standard scenarios you can use a 'Waypoint' or 'Stop At' instruction for the platform you want to use. Thanks again for your useful comments.

Hello again Heyjoe,

Just completed another part of the route without problems - Hindford to Dingley.
I am really enjoying this route, it has massive potential for scenarios.
All your routes are interesting and varied but this one is the best yet !
I have one observation that I thought I would mention:
When running from Hindford to Dingley (test scenario not a Quick Drive) my player train went through Goodmoor Platform 1 rather than 2.
I then set an A.I. train coming the other way which let my player train use the single line first using Platform 1 and then the A.I. train also used Platform 1.
If I use a "Waypoint" or "Stop At" instruction to use Platform 2, my player train does use Plt. 2.
Note : The player train and A.I. train passed each other safely at Goodmoor Station.
Will keep going on other parts of the route in the next few days and let you know how it goes.
Best Regards, Paul

Hello Brett. Sorry to hear you are having a problem. Sounds to me like your computer may be running short of memory but I am not an expert on computers. Are you able to run the route using free roam? To give your machine the best chance make sure no other programmes are running and load Train Sim and the quick drive straight after start-up. You could also try making adjustments to your Train Sim settings which may do the trick.

Dear Heyjoe,
I'm having an issue trying to get this route to load for a quick drive. Everytime I want to use the route for a quick drive, it causes my computer to have a dump file. Do you know if this is common and if there is a way to fix this? I really want to drive this route.
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks again,
-Brett

Hello Keith. Many thanks to you for trying my route and to Paul for making the scenarios. Glad to know you like the route. Unfortunately the Jubilee class loco has been removed from the steam shop (don't know why) so probably scenarios using 45655 will no longer be accepted by the steam workshop.
