Hi All, I'm not a newcomer as such, been here a number of years ago... Nice changes to everything with registration and such! Many years ago I was earning money as student by doing porter ("tranship" porter not passengers) work. Was on the trains downloading and loading cargo, postal bags, etc. Also did some manual shunting at small stations. Now retired academic doing things - uhh - sort of on the bucket list B) Simsig seems to be an excellent hobby, thanks! However, one SimSig thing I still can't figure out, if there may be (beyond the great Royston tutorial) another brief step by step information file somewhere how to learn to really apply the time table as the trains come in and where they are supposed to go - those that pass the station under the signal box one attends. I would appreciate the link I probably missed. Royston is easy, but working on say Kings Cross, by the time I finally find the signal number - I cause the train to be late, really late  excluding to PausePS I live in South Africa, still using UK signalling... Sadly, the railways (now Transnet) in SA has come to only a few daily commuter trains running in Cape Town and Gauteng. Road transport by trucks is the order of the day. I counted in one trip from Gauteng to Cape Town (2 day trip) 500 that I passed and 700 from the front! Three truck accidents with cargo scattered over the road side, furniture removal (poor guy hope the insurance covered his move), apples and one truck load of empty bottles. It's a war out there :yikes Piet Log in to reply |
