I've avoided that TT because 1964 isn't really my sort of interest and I couldn't work out how it would work given the 60's KGX was very, very different. I've always passed it by - i'll give it a crack though! I've just bought my LTS licence, but I do always go back to KGX

I've always passed it by - i'll give it a crack though! I've just bought my LTS licence, but I do always go back to KGX :)I started doing a 1948 WTT for London Bridge ASC. But even though there were a lot of multiple units running around then, it became very clear that it would never work on the 1970s layout of London Bridge ASC. And so I tried looking at a 2020 WTT for London Bridge ASC. Again, came across the same issue. In both cases the layouts had changed significantly in the London Bridge area and having signalled trains in real life in the area, both at London Bridge ASc & TBROC, I knew the layouts had changed significantly and the flow of trains would never work.. I have tried uaing the various WTTs produced for Simsigs simulation that are out of area, and whilst they run and a lot of work has been put into them, they are not really enjoyable to run because, especially with Kings Cross, they are clearly not suited to the modern layout. I have decided to stick with the eras the layouts are designed for in creating WTT's. What I have started toying with in creating WTTS, that is adding fictional trains that use every siding/route etc on the layout that is not used or under-used by existing WTTs.

I think fictional timetables, a "this is what we could have" sort of thing would be enjoyable. The Brighton (and Lancing) timetable has a 1988 true to life one, and there are services to Bournemouth, Reading and up north. The issue is the service is less intense, the era is suits the SIM however. I would enjoy a TT with 1988 stock, destination etc but more modern service levels or vice versa if appropriate on other Sims, with functional services that are grounded in realistic alternative realities.
