Ah, Little Mill Jn. That was my first Signalbox when I was but a lad of 19.

Loader versions of Saltley, the NLL or Sheffield would be good.
However, it will be what it will be. :unsure:

However one query: where, on the Pontypridd - Abercynon route, is "Stormstown" - mentioned at http://www.signallingnotices.org.uk/signalbox_detail.php?t=blo&sb=45&c=&l=A - out of interest? A search on Google Earth turns up nothing.
According to Quail, there was a Stormstown Jn at the southern end of the current goods loop. Radyr SC controls to a point 1.5 miles north of Pontrypridd on the Abercynon line, which is about a mile south of this.

Earlier this month Geoff M. wrote on another thread on this forum:

" said:
These days I rarely give advance news but there are new sims on the way, both recently closed boxes and very much modern and current signalboxes. Also fixes and improvements to released simulations. Watch the website
Could suggest anything but a loader version of Saltley would be good. Perhaps, in view of Geoff's comment that I reproduced above, it could be combined with a release of Stourbridge Junction? I said in a fairly recent multiplayer session that I hoped SJ would appear and it would be fun as it would chain to New Street as well as Saltley: a comment from someone else said that SJ was a possibility. It would certainly almost complete the Midlands area: only Walsall would need releasing (which would also chain to New Street and Saltley).

Perhaps we would get a Saltley loader + SJ and WL. Who knows.....

What would be wrong with that? Which actually makes no sense when read with the rest of you post!

According to the wiki Walsall is in development but we probably all saw that coming.

Is that in a public section of the Wiki, or a restricted access one?

My guess or stirring - Welsh Sim for St David's Day maybe?

Gareth

Hmmm. South Wales between Seven Tunnel / Lydney / Little Mill through to Newport & Cardiff as well as:

- up the Valleys via. Pontypridd to Stormstown (fringe with Abercynon) and Treherbert.
- up the valleys via. Heath Junction towards Ystrad Mynach
- through to Dinas Powys (fringe with the now closed Barry SB) and Penarth
- through to Llantrisant / Llanharan (fringe with Port Talbot PSB)

Would be a nice big sim but probably wishful thinking! However one query: where, on the Pontypridd - Abercynon route, is "Stormstown" - mentioned at http://www.signallingnotices.org.uk/signalbox_detail.php?t=blo&sb=45&c=&l=A - out of interest? A search on Google Earth turns up nothing.

Dave
You'd have a nervous breakdown if that lot was all on one sim! Cardiff Central alone has trains every 2 minutes on average for most of the day, and that's before freight is included.

Stormstown is a former yard, now goods loop just south of Abercynon (South).

Where? There are several references to Walsall, but none of them say that it's in development, rather that it's 'future proofed' into the other simulations.

Fingers crossed for a South Wales or North West sim though!

Eactly. I can't find it either.

That and a bit.

Entirely off the top of my head, Cambridge, Drain, Euston, Peterborough, and Royston need updating for the loader and other reasons. I'm not sure if Fenchurch needs any work. I've got one sim in development, one stalled for complicated reasons, and four or five sets of notes for possible work. I have 173 core code and 35 compiler bugs assigned to me. None of that is in any kind of order.

Oh, and a life.

Wolverhampton manual:

Quote:
Wolverhampton is, or will be, capable of chaining to the following simulations:

Birmingham New Street
Oxley / Shrewsbury (to be decided)
Stafford
Walsall
Note that whoever wrote it chose not to write "Walsall (TBD)". Therefore we can deduce that unlike Oxley or Shrewsbury, it is in development. As I said, it's the missing piece to the jigsaw so hardly surprising in the slightest.

Thanks!

What we can deduce is that unlike the Shrewsbury line there is no debate as to what the fringe sim will be. It can only be Walsall PSB.

For a true Midlands chain we would need Walsall, Stourbridge Junction & Derby to be added. Would be great fun but it would, by my calculations, require a minimum of 23 players if every panel & box was to be staffed once those three sims were added if it happens. That does not include Walsall as I don't know how many people that would take to operate.

That could, of course, then potentially expand into a huge midlands / southwest chain (Walsall + Stourbridge + Stafford + Aston + Derby + New Street + Wolverhampton + Saltley + Gloucester + Swindon + Westbury + Bristol + Exeter)! By my reckong that would require a minimum of 41 players! *gulp*

Not forgetting Sheffield and Trent at least another dozen panels, and Coventry.

e: Sheffield should also chain to Worksop which IIRC should in turn chain to South Humberside.

Two other big bits of the jigsaw are arguably Leicester and Doncaster PSBs.

I think that was discussed a few months back - if we had Derby that would then link to Sheffield, Trent, and then Worksop and South Humberside.

Personally I'd like Doncaster, which would also be a "jigsaw piece" like Derby (linking to South Humberside, Worksop, Sheffield and Trent).
