Very nice route. I have a suggestion for this page. If I were you I would untick "Academy" from your list of required DLC, both in the description and the right side "Required DLC" box. Everyone gets it included with the game anyway, and having it listed as a requirement might lead to needless confusion.

Include Quick drive ai ?

Well DeeDeeNaNaNa, I also found the history very interesting. It was great to read Brunel visited, as I am a big fan, and have given a talk about his exploits to our local U3A group (University of the Third Age). I'm a wee bit older than you ha ha.
I have published my first scenario - on your great route. I chose to do a 'Southern' one based around 1950 - and only at Canterbury West. I use the S15 and N15. They should be in the sale, when DTG releases TS 2022. Well done. The signalling, and points work very well. Excellent in fact. Well done indeed.
I will buy the Terrier in the next sale, and probably use this on the actual line. Cheers.

Hi Not.Silent. I found the history of the route fascinating, I hope you do too. It's such a surprise to find how early the line was and how it can lay claim to several railway "firsts", but is often overlooked for it's part in railway history.
I do find an old map interesting too and along with the one on Wikipedia I did look at many other's on the National Library of Scotland's site to try and help build a fuller picture of the line.
I hope the route behaves for you when you start creating scenarios, as getting the signalling to work was quite challenging.

Hi DeeDeeNaNaNa.
I'm finally looking at the route properly, the history, and also maps to start formalising a creation on it. I am looking forward to seeing what I can do.
It is especially of interest to me, because I used to 'draft' maps at the Ordnance Survey, and personally did a map of the town of Pwllheli in Wales, which included all the rail lines next to the harbour, similar to the Whitstable Harbour map (used on the Wikipedia site about the Crab & Winkle). I mentioned earlier I lived in Canterbury/Bekesbourne as a kid too.

Hi dip bros. The track used for the Whitstable branch is from the "Return to Maerdy" DLC. The track used at Canterbury West is from the Riviera in the 50's

Which dlc has the tracks for the line?

Oh El_Muna. I know I already replied explaining I can no longer edit this route and it's quick drives. I have since looked into ai on quick drives though and it seems that consists need to be valid for a certain route to show up as an ai service, so this is unlikely to be possible on a workshop route.

Ok,, thanks

Thanks Warwick Rail, I have added the link in the description. All your work to make the workshop content easier to search is really appreciated.

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

Spawn ai when play Quick Drive ?

Hi Bungo. Sorry you are having problems driving the route. There should be some scenarios in the quick drive section for this route, one in each direction. They may not show up if you have an electric loco selected though.
You could also try subscribing to the included scenarios that are linked in the description. Once subscribed these scenarios should appear in the "standard" tab under drive.

Hi RolandBP, thanks for the comment. I'm glad you are liking the route.

What an interesting route and so well detailed.
I like that it is based on an actual railway.

I live in Whitstable so am really keen to have a drive on this (being a real steam engine driver too ). It looks very good. As far as I can see I have all the needed DLC's, but I am still not getting the option to drive. Am I missing something?
TS Academy and Stanier 8F have 'retired' next to them?

That's awesome Not.Silent. Thanks to those who have voted too.

Now I can get into some creating DeeDeeNaNaNa. Yee ha.

More 'thumbs up' everyone, so chris5012 and I can publish on it!

Hiya. Thanks for coming back to me it's much appreciated. Weird as I thought I had that add on. I will have a look tonight. Thanks again

Hi gareth. The track used for the Whitstable branch is from the "Return to Maerdy" DLC. The track used at Canterbury West is from the Riviera in the 50's

I'm trying to work out what DLC I have missing as the track vanishes as soon as I leave Canterbury West? The track is all ok at Canterbury West but the Whitstable branch has it missing. Thought I had all the DLC needed. It's driving me mad. Lol

Thanks for the lovely comments, I'm glad you are enjoying the route. It's a shame there's not a railway anymore in real life, but it does make for a lovely walk or cycle if you ever find yourself in the area.

Excellent little route,got my thumbs up

Very nice route with some fearsome gradients at both ends to give some stern challenges. Like Not.Silent I urge people to give the route "Thumbs Up" so scenarios can be created when it exceeds 30,

I once walked the trackbed of this route, so I'll be giving this a whirl!

Thanks I'll give it a spin.

Hi broomwagon. The route does not need the metropolitan line. I don't own that DLC either.

Hi, does it need the metropolitan line? (the only route I don't have or am likely to get). It says it needs it in the list but then no mention of it being needed in your description.

This route needs 30 positive 'Thumbs Up' ratings everyone, before I can publish a scenario on it. Please help by giving it your vote.

Sorry El_muna, since the route has been made final I can no longer update it and as far as I am aware that includes the QuickDrive scenarios which are packaged as part of the route.

Include Ai when play QuickDrive ?

The route has now been made final.
There are also some scenarios linked in the description too.

Thanks Not.Silent. It is really nice to hear your Memories of Canterbury West. I'm also looking forward to seeing what interesting scenarios you can create for the route.

Another update has gone live today with a few more fixes to issues I am finding, details are in the change notes. Any feedback on any bugs you find is always appreciated too.

Hi DeeDeeNaNaNa. A great little route, and I am really looking forward to it being your final version, so that I can get everyone to rally around and get enough votes, so I can then publish some scenarios on it.
I lived near Canterbury West in 1958. I used to put coins on the track to be flattened by a Bulleid pacific hauling 'The Golden Arrow'. I loved the flags on the front and the huge arrow on the side, and Wagonlits carriages.
I will do some testing to see if I find any issues. The layout looks great with great attention to detail. Well done. Thanks for all your time you have put into it so far.

Thanks roobert

Lovely route which captures the line and surroundings so well. Than you so much for sharing.

Thank you AllyourKitty, I'm glad you like the route.

Very nice little route to run some Southern Steam on.
