I cannot be bothed to read through 110+ post on the Tyneside Q&A to see if this question has been asked, so I have started a new thread. The Simsig Manual for Tyneside gives the lengths of the Platforms but there are no lengths given for any of the many Loops. [ Darlington(Down Pass Loop, Bypass, Up/Down Stn Loop, Up Goods Loop), North Road (goods Loop), Ferryhill (Up Goods Loop), Sunderland (No1 & 2 sdgs), East Boldon (Up Loop), Pelaw Jn (Up Goods Loop, Down Goods Loop), Heaton (Down Goods Loop(both sections), Up Goods Loop) ]. Anyone know the lengths? Professionalism mean nothing around a bunch of Amateur wannabees! Log in to reply |

From the Sectional Appendix, except where noted: Darlington Down Pass Loop: 672m Darlington Bypass: 128m Darlington Down/Up Station Loop: 243m Darlington UGL: 570m North Road GL: 358m Ferryhill UGL: 448m Durham P2: approx. 300m (measured on maps) Durham Down Slow: 512m Durham UPL: 563m Low Fell Jn Down/Up Goods: 239m [For some reason, this is significantly shorter than the distance between 198 and 201, which is approx. 630m on maps] Newcastle UDS (West, 482-515): approx. 260m (measured on maps) Newcastle UDS (East, 512-535): approx. 80m (measured on maps) Newcastle UDS (482-535): approx. 390m (measured on maps) Newcastle East Jn UDS (Down): approx. 160m (including TC TEHA) [Note that signal 545 is over 250m from the crossover at Manors] Newcastle East Jn UDS (Up): approx. 340m (including TCs TEHC and TEHD) Manors UDS (542-555): approx. 180m (measured on maps) Heaton DGL South: 748m Heaton DGL South+North: 1307m Heaton UGL: 684m Down Pelaw GL: 320m Up Pelaw GL: 384m Boldon UPL: 442m Log in to reply The following users said thank you: Giantray, BarryM, 9pN1SEAp, Guts |

Hi, Please could these loop lengths be added to the manual? Jamie S (JAMS) Log in to reply |

Done. I'm not really sure that the UDS at Newcastle East Jn counts as a loop, so I've omitted it. "Don't stress/ relax/ let life roll off your backs./ Except for death and paying taxes/ everything in life.../ is only for now." (Avenue Q) Log in to reply The following user said thank you: 9pN1SEAp |

Steamer in post 139533 said:Done.Some corrections have been applied having been cross checked with the simulation (Some measured lengths were significantly incorrect). The lengths given are to the normal stopping position for the exit signal with the route behind able to be set. The UDS between Heaton South Jn and Newcastle East Jn is a running line with multiple entries and no exits in the up direction and so lengths are not being documented Mantis 33682 resolved Log in to reply The following user said thank you: 9pN1SEAp |
