I'd certainly be near the front of the purchasing queue if it ever does come to life!

This sim, if ever produced, would be the icing on the cake for me. I'd buy it instantly with not a minute of hesitation :) and ALL the Virgin/Avanti WC services would be in-sim (though we lack Glasgow stn & Blackpool & Bham-Shrewsbury but close enough!) Though I agree Doncaster would link E-W as well as N-S and the freight plus passenger plus scenarios would be incredible, it'd be 2nd in my list of sims too!

andyallen4014 in post 138721 said:Neither have I. I think that most sims in development are not mentioned at all. It's usually a surprise when they are released. We know that Cambridge is being updated for the loader and this is excellent! Another one for me to buy instantly, assuming I have the funds available.

That area is going to see quite a bit of change over the next couple of years as the line is re-opened for passenger traffic (hopefully) so the collection of the data is going to be a bit problematic.elltrain3 in post 138726 said:I wish :P, nah just a mockup xDWell, i'll make a Morpeth/Alnmouth/Berwick sim my next challenge! hahaA fully working sim?

Time for a 3-parter Hey everyone, so I've been busy working on a Blackpool sim (preston fringe - Blackpool) with 3 eras, a 2017-present (Modern) 2011-2017 (Blackpool No1 Abolished, Loops and sidings removed in prep for resignallng) 1975-2011 (all boxes with sidings included for older TTs) here is the mid era one (2011-2017) and next will be the older era! its a basic simple sim but I think could be enjoyable solo OR in a MP game i also decided to use the Hunts X style lever frames which could be disabled but was good fun making them!

I'd suggest (unless you have the info for it) that the older era is 1982-2011 to account for Blackpool South box closing, as the line was double track and platforms up until then. It does look fun.

ah was it 1982? i couldn't find a sooner date! as there were a few other boxes, plus thee loop at salwick and the Fast lines at Kirkham so might have to re-work the layout a little to fit it all in!

Very nice. For info, the sidings at Salwick and Kirkham, and the Kirkham avoiding lines, remained in use/in situ until just before the temporary closure of the line in 2017 for electrification, so I'd show them as operational in the 2011-2017 era.

Next up 1982 - 2011 While Blackpool North No1, Weeton & Singelton Station boxes were still open The fast lines at Kirkham in regular use, and the sidings there were still in situ! Salwick still retain its UGL Plus the Fleetwood branch still saw some traffic and as per the previous one the frames are there and are getting rather large! it's annoying they are so large so wouldn't be feasible for a sim though love it if they were makes it so much more fun!

I've found diagrams online of them all taped over on the diagrams so assumed they went well before the re-signalling! good to know, I'll get them updated!

I guess rather basic in Simsig, but you could add in the new passing loop currently under construction at Brading. When they (eventually - they're running very late) get the new trains a gala day with all 5 could be an interesting fictional operation!

Looking the old timetable on graph you can clearly see where the 3rd train would have been. Would defo be intresting with 4tph. RIP Feltham Panel 1 Log in to reply |

I've got one from 4-11-2007 does that one count? It is not made by me, and it does not appear to be finished. The main line runs from Grantham towards somewhere around Moss, and the lines from Crowle and Thorne North are in it, but all lines towards the west are cut of at random places and some yards are missing south of Doncaster, as is the avoiding line.
