Next Up, a sim i'd very much like to SimSig and could result in some big (HUGE!) chains! Its the small though VERY busy Healey Mills! covering the line from Wakefield (west yks) through the now disused (mostly) Yard and then onto the thornhill panel where we have the intensive 5 TPE an hour plus all local Northern services thrown in, and through Mirfield and into Huddersfield! then we have the small and simple line towards Halifax and manchester the long way round! In addition we have Batley! a small IFS panel box connecting leeds (York IECC) & Healey Mills PSB would be a good sim that would link East and West and would finally give us Birmingham right through to Newcastle! (if bristol & Glocester Exes are updated we get Plymouth to Newcastle!) hope you enjoy!  Post has attachments. Log in to view them. Resident Mock Maker! / "The Out Of Control Host" Log in to reply |

jc92 in post 138499 said:Lady Anne crossing isn't a UWC, it's an MCG crossing with wicket gates, there's a key release instrument in Batley box which maintains B2 and B11 at danger when the key is released.

That was certainly the case when I did a brief bit of trainspotting there once. All gates locked from the box. Dave Log in to reply |

Another contribution from me. This time my attempt at the Main Line panel of Basingstoke ASC which includes Basingstoke station. This would have 4 neighbouring sims: Salisbury (already released), Eastleigh, Woking and Reading. As ever, thoughts welcome. Dave  Post has attachments. Log in to view them.

That looks ace dave! I've attempted to start a mock of Doncaster, but the sheer size is very offputting xD yours is very long and a decent size with a staedy amount of traffic I would think!

I thought to try and do Doncaster as well but I would hope that would be in development. It is one of the barriers - probably the main one - to a full-on Kings Cross to Scotland chain which would be superb fun and deffo worth a 24hr chain.

yeah dave i agree it'd be a vital and useful link, and provide PLENTY of different scenarios and TTs and yeah Eastleigh would be another good one, plenty of shunting Resident Mock Maker! / "The Out Of Control Host" Last edited: 14/04/2021 at 10:34 by elltrain3 Reason: None given Log in to reply |

I'd buy it instantly with not a minute of hesitation :) So would I. It isn't the only one I would buy with not a minute of hesitation. If Doncaster PSB came out though it would provide a chain with multiple other sims at the same time (West Yorkshire, York, Peterborough, Sheffield thinking off the top of my head) which would only leave the line through Morpeth, Alnmouth and Berwick before it would be possible to do a SimSig chain from London Kings Cross to Scotland. Would be huge fun. Dave Log in to reply |
