The Lincolnshire Lines route has been updated on the 24th http://www.lincs-train-sim.co.uk/ click on the file symbol for the download.

In the British thread I make mention of an updated version of the route by Carinthia on his site here carinthia.sftt.co.uk/downloads.php only the track and signals have been updated.

There is a much expanded version of DP SImulations ECML Northeast available from his site, but you need a lot of British pay-ware to use the QD's http://www.dpsimulation.org.uk/routes.html . I think that this route will continue to grow, but I don't think it is yet decided how far. So far I have not tried JT's new route as everybody here is ill including me. But there are many criticisms of the track quality.

From their FB page;

Seasons Greetings and a Happy New Year!
Many thanks for your support during 2014.
As promised, we have the list of locos and stock we intend to do for 2015. There is no fixed month of release for any of these so far, we’ll let you know as soon as we have the information. Work has started on most of the items below.
LNER P2 with Teak coaches (already announced)
GWR Railcar “Razor edge” + Collet 3rd
SR Air Smoothed Merchant Navy + Pullmans
LNER Claud Hamilton + GER coaches
GWR/BR 43xx/63xx/93xx + Collet coaches
LMS Princess Royal + LMS Period 3 coaches
GNR Stirling Single + GNR 6 wheelers

I believe that Mully was part of the team. JT are normally good at providing updates, although it can take a little time

I have heard nothing about JT or AP going on Steam. JT have had financial difficulties, I'm not sure how they would deal with this, but I suspect they will have their own way. AP cannot go on steam, the nature of their packs would I think cause immense problems. Steam Sounds Supreme have already said that they are working on a solution and I doubt that includes Steam. Some very small providers like Matrix, Railsim net, Steam Loco Collection and Making Tracks have not said how they will deal with this. The first three already send files manually so it may be there will be no issue there. Making Tracks are mainly MSTS and their sales are minimal, so they could be lost, or they may sell through Matrix, no idea at the moment

and Merry Christmas and happy festivities to all

Update from DT's FB page;
New years news part one: There will be two shops operating from the new year, one for the EU (excluding the UK) and one for the UK and rest of the world. VAT will be added to products sold in the EU at the local rate buyers. As we go through the year, most products will be Moved to Steam. (Items to be confirmed) and will be sold to everyone at the same price. Some products will be reworked with new models, new textures, tweak sounds, scripts and more. EU buyers get shoulderstand Their products now, to beat the new VAT rules in 2015!

The route hasn't been finalised yet, the author has made some small updates, mainly to assist with importing L&B and SLN scenarios, or to improve the QD. L& B scenarios in particular can be problematic due to changes in the route, some implemented in SLN. Should be finalised soon and then workshop scenarios can be produced. There is a comprehensive QD

This is planned to be a very complete pack with all of the many variations and is a completely new set of models with improved physics amognst other things.

UKTS development thread is here http://forums.uktrainsim.com/v…6&t=128243&st=0&sk=t&sd=a and yes the Dewhurst brothers are involved in this.
FB page for the developers https://www.facebook.com/Railright

Available here on this site http://www.suburban-glasgow.org.uk/ a part of the suburban network around Glasgow. There is planned to be six phases to this. It is nicely done, but uses the older catenary. The intention is that it will merge with WCML North. The read-me is a little contradictory as it says that you can install it as either stand alone or merged, but later says that it is only possible as a stand alone route. At present it is only a stand alone route. There are some payware requirements ;

WCML North

WCML Over Shap

Edinburgh to Glasgow

London Faversham High Speed

Plus the UKTS freeware packs which can be downloaded on several other sites.
For the scenarios you need;

AP Class 320/321/322

Oovee Class 156 from Steam

The Freeware Class 318 from UKTS along with the Carmine and Cream Reskin

The much anticipated class 40 from Railright is going to be published by Armstrong Powerhouse instead of DTG as originally announced. The UK community has expressed relief at this announcement as their were concerns about how DTG would deal with such an advanced loco. The loco will have a high level of scripting and functionality.
