Unfortunately, both he and I have been installing in bits and pieces over the years as the line gets further along, and we've discovered that assets he thinks are in a package in fact are not. As a result, when I get the new PC next month I'm going to do a full install from total scratch to make sure everything in the packages that is needed is, in fact, in the packages and work with him to fix it. I'll post back here when we have this properly sorted.
That would be fantastic! Thank you.

OK, with dad actually watching over my shoulder (Now that we have opened the borders), I went ahead and installed from scratch so he could see what was or was not working.
To get yourself at least rolling on Dub-Cork-Limerick-Tralee, install the RWPs (with the TS Utilities tool) from following files in order from UKTrainsim.
35528, 35529, 35530, 35531, 35532, 37356, 37362.
Note that there are some readmes in there which instruct you to get a few more files from other sources. One of them is Polish and no longer a good URL, but it doesn't seem to be the end of the world.
There are still a few quirks he's discovered, for example, some of the DMUs are based off a German vehicle the DLC for which I did not purchase, so you might see some couplers floating down the rail line, but the majority is good. Same with the DART line should you choose to try that out, the DART EMUs are based on a payable DLC, but you can still run the line with a railcar. Maybe there's a power cut or something. Here's Howth.
Anyway, he's seen the troubles with a fresh install, so we'll see if he's able to put out a patch as best he can.

The old one!
The factory is long flattened now(10 Years) but the yard and line's are still there. There a few generic Factories that i tried to plonk onto the map but i cant.

Attached is the layouts.

Just wanted to say what a brilliant route Rosslare is. Heuston is a brilliant piece of freeware too, but as someone who commuted on the Waterford line for a number of years I'm very happy to be able to drive the Rosslare line through Gorey and Arklow. Just a specific feel, especially around the Rathdrum area.
I've worked on the 22000 for my own sake since I found the performance quite odd (Especially the acceleration and the weird jolt when starting) and I've basically transcribed bits of the simulation config and tractive effort graphs from the AP class 170 (which has a similar enough motor). Also changed the horn to one that fits the ICR a bit more , the Thomson 150 came in handy (Still not great, but better than the 201 horn as default).
So far I've delved into a bit of scenario making and came up with two scenarios
1) D412 the 1520 Grand Canal Dock to Hazelhatch - This utilises both routes; first part on Rosslare line sees you go from GCD to the curve towards drumcondra , next part takes off just after Phoenix park tunnel before Islandbridge Junction. Full AI and it makes for some fun.
2) A606 1333 Connolly - Rosslare Europort . Again, as per the real timetable you're following a dart on the way out, so some defensive driving, and then the opposite train waits for you on the loop in Wicklow. Plenty of Ai around Connolly and a GCD-Newbridge AI service.
My only real gripe is still the rolling stock. I can 100% appreciate it's freeware but if the ICR was just that bit better (textures mostly , physics can be done at a later stage they're not bad compared to the textures which show their age unfortunately). There in comes my question - Is there any plans for any work to be done on the rolling stock? Outside of the DART which we got (which is a brilliant addition, of course).

Hi all.
As a Kilkenny man I always wanted to drive a sim version of the Waterford-Heuston service and after recently going on both the Tailte Tours and IRRS tours on the Waterford - Limerick Junction line I had a taste for getting those done. So over time I've gathered (Either by purchasing or generously being provided) several bits and pieces for the route. Speed limits in the WTT , Gradient Profiles. I then decided to take the last available version of the Cork,Tralee and Limerick route by Brendan and build on top of it. Using Google maps overlay and learning building the modern ways (Thanks to Thomas Harrisons tutorials). But using the same asset packs used in the original route to keep relatively consistent visuals across the route.It's a learning ground for me while being a fairly well known route for me. Won't be perfect but better than nothing.
So far I've dabbled at it for a few days and laid track to Muine Bheag with the small bit of the Wolfhill line in Athy and the Asbestos Cement factory.
Regarding models I will want to learn that to make some basic dedicated objects at a later date. So far I want to lay track to waterford and Belview Port via Kilkenny and do the terrain. Then worry about speed limits and signals and last do scenery. Once I have this line done I would love to get the line to Limerick Junction done but I'll have to have a better look at the semaphore signalling books before tackling that.
About release haven't thought about it. I'll probably do a few work in progress videos and see if it's worth anybody's time and if that works out I will get in contact with Brendan somehow and see what his opinion is. Until a green light from him it'll stay private. But that'll be a fair amount of time away.

So Small update on Waterford. I recently managed to procure proper elevation data for the stations on the route which then confirmed that my route was off by up to 20m in places. Hence I decided to rip up the tracks and reposition the individual stations (I had up to Bagenalstown done). I painted the terrain in Kilkenny and Waterford to roughly the correct height around the station to get an idea if I was placing correctly. Screenshots show Waterford Sallypark and Belview port (Which I intend to include to allow the running of DFDS and XPO liners as well as the Coillte timber from Sallypark. I've also got signalling diagrams and speed limits (Those are publically available in the Network statement published by IR). The only thing I want to work on is a consistent ballast texture across points but I feel this is to do with the track rule tab.
