Could this potentially be an entrance to Ponsandane Depot?

DaveHarries in post 103874 said:Another thought on the matter of Bridging gaps. If we were talking three gaps to Bridge then could be a sim to cover more than one box? A sim covering Walsall PSB area plus the line to Rugeley (not inclusive) via. Hednesford would link to Saltley (via. Ryecroft Junction), New Street (via. Tame Bridge Parkway) and Stafford (via. Rugeley).Whilst I’d love it to be SBJ (as my home area), I can’t think where the teaser of the layout would fit there, unless I’m missing something. Also, to nitpick, New Street doesn’t link with SBJ via Rowley - all trains from Stourbridge go through there regardless of how they reach Birmingham. The chord to New Street diverges at Smethwick West Jn between Smethwick Galton Bridge and the site of the former Smethwick West station. A combination of boxes between Worcester and SBJ would be nice (and hit the Gloucester chain too), and I believe would offer some AB in a representation of a not too distant past. It might even (really dreaming now) include the signalling between Round Oak and Walsall in the event Walsall did appear...

Whilst looking for something else on the site I found a massive clue the the new sim could fit alphabetically between De and Dr.

I reckon Leicester, Giving the ability to simulate the Midland Main Line all the way from St. Pancake to Sheffield.

Unless of course it's an older layout (say 1980's) which could obviously mean it wouldn't appear of the 2005 Quail book.

Meanwhile, Doncaster would fill in the sim gap between Peterborough and York. That would permit an ECML chain from Kings Cross to Tyneside - somewhat beyond Sheffield, in fact.

That clue has lost me, Looks like its Loughborough (Leicester EMCC), but the image gives me an impression of a mainline with sidings....

In case anyone else made the mistake I did when I first saw the picture- the white line in the middle is a track with a route set on it, not a gap between two separate images.

Penzance up to the fringe with the Plymouth sim as well as the Truro to Falmouth, Liskeard to Looe, Par to Newquay and Burngullow Jcn to St. Dennis branches. Would be good. However while I think that the platform layout could be Par the signals look the wrong type for the station.

I thought I had it worked out from a clue/spoiler given earlier in the thread but I can't match the teasers to anywhere in that area off the top of my head; and moving away from that area I can't think of any matching layouts There's the right way, the wrong way and the railway.

 Sidestick Priority guessed correctly! Newport will be the fourth simulation of the South Wales area, covering the now closed Newport PSB. It will be available at £22.50 until 23:59 on December 31st 2017, the normal price will be £25. For anyone who doesn't own Cardiff, Cardiff Valleys and Cardiff Vale of Glamorgan, a multi buy including Newport will be available at £55 until 23:59 on December 31st 2017, the normal price will be £57.50. A preview of the simulation in screenshot form can be found here https://www.dropbox.com/s/pkfd33w33culvij/Newport.bmp?dl=0.
