As I'm an East Midlands lad, top of my personal wishlist is Leicester followed closely by Merseyrail's Sandhills (nothing to do with East Mids I know)), but I'll be happy with any of the sims mentioned by other posters. Regarding the sim, it's clearly going to be Ferrybridge power station control room. 40 MGR workings and one misrouted HST that accepts the route and works round the loop.

Freight brings these sims to life and tests your powers of train regulation. And as I've mentioned elsewhere on this forum, because of the greater amount of freight traffic around way back when, I normally run heritage TT's in preference to modern TT's, which often have more trains but less variety of traffic/shunt moves, etc.58050 in post 116531 said:Err indeed.

OK with a bit of detective work and piecing the clues together, I've worked it out (and found the manual) but I won't spoil other's fun.

I wonder that as a new signal map has been updated in a manual but the link currently is broken if this is one of the sims that will be showcased tomorrow.... Of course there's always the risk that my sums are wrong....

I certainly have the energy. The slow loader update process takes even longer if your actually on a train xD. There is some signalling faliures to the south between bristol and bath and traffic around bournville.

Sandhills and Sheffield has ARS however there is none for West Yorkshire that aside both Sheffield and West Yorkshire ought mean some awesome chaining sessions! Hope that answers your quest?

I'm guessing Sheffield is similar to the old Sheffield sim that Kurt made (if memory serves me well?), or is this the new ROC layout? And as for West Yorks... where would that cover? Am sure all will be revealed in good time, anyway! Log in to reply The following user said thank you: ajax103 |

West Yorkshire covers Ferrybridge, Castleford, Wakefield Kirkgate, Horbury Junction, Milford Junction, Cutsyke Jcn and Prince of Wales.

I can confirm Sheffield is the ROC version. It was written from scratch so it is a new sim.
