I went through this exercise with the originator of the route. In the end decided to do my own. concentrated on North Yorkshire. my route is not finished by any means but runs ok even if sometimes it stutters. In the end after gaining the experience and with the implimentation of a 64bit TRANSdem system decided to make smaller routes in the same area.
Any screenshots matey?
Will prepare some for you.
Looks like it's going well!
It would be great to have a T12 version of the fully merged route. The images look great. Could one of you upload this to DLS?
Some time ago I merged all 8 parts of Yorkshire into one route, more or less as described in the post above. There was a major problem in that often deep valleys occured along the edges of each and every baseboard of the section being merged. These required a lot of time to repair as the valleys had to be height-corrected to match the surrounding terrain but also texture-filled as the valleys caused bare baseboard with it's yellow lines to show along the baseboard join lines.
Eventually I corrected all this (many, many hours of fixing).
The result was a large and interesting route but with content & style that was rather dated, especially after comparing it with more modern TS12 routes. When I imported it from TS10, in which I'd done the merging, into TS12 I did a lot of additions including global track changes but mostly the placing of more flora, particularly speedtrees, grasses, textures and so forth. Some items were also replaced for more proto-typical stuff (eg the level crossings). In fact, I'm still at it and doubt if the process will ever end as inspiration arrives from newer TS12 British routes such as the updated Gwladys Ddu, Ashburton, Chapel Street, Paddington, etcetera.
My Yorkshire merge-change also has lots of non-DLS stuff in it, not to mention gawd-knows how many items that would go faulty in the most up-to-date version of TS12 (I kept mine to Build 49922 as at the last count I had circa 3000 items that would require at least a thumbnail and perhaps more exxtensive fixing).
But Yorkshire is certainly a great route for "enhancing" if this is one of your Trainz pleasures. And, as another poster mentioned, it would make a great route for the new sooper-dooper Trainz. Which prompts me to ask ...
Couldn't Trainz packs be released that are region-specific? All the routes I drive or "enhance" are Brtish and these are more than enough for a lad to play with! I haven't the time or the inclination to use the no-doubt very good routes from the US, China, Russia et al. Mind, I have got 4 rather nice French routes, some of which are merges of Dark Dan routes made years ago. I recommend these to those who would like to "enhance" an already very good route to be even more interesting.

Chapel Street? Not heard of that before and couldn't find it on the DLS... who's that by?
