Hi Everyone, Can someone please provide some screenshots of Cardiff, I want to see if it's beyond my capabilities. I would be over the moon if SimSig could put pictures with the info of a sim so that we could quickly have a look before purchase. Many thanks, Matt Log in to reply |

Here ya go: https://www.SimSig.co.uk/Media/Wiki%2Fusertrack%2Fareainfo%2Fcardiffpsb.png The image is at the top of this page: https://www.SimSig.co.uk/Wiki/Show?page=usertrack:areainfo:cardiff You can find equivalent pages for other sims here: https://www.SimSig.co.uk/Wiki/Show?page=usertrack:areainfo Most of which have a similar high quality image at the top. This last page also groups sims by difficulty, although I personally disagree with some of the assignments. I think Portsmouth with the default timetable is quite challenging - definitely on the level of Shrewsbury I'd say. There is also the signal number plan available in the manual of each sim which can serve more or less the same purpose. Last edited: 15/05/2017 at 18:57 by TUT Reason: None given Log in to reply |

I really meant the panel photos on which the Cardiff Sim was designed.

Example: http://photos.signalling.org/picture?/11887/category/1154-2008_set_2 Karl had more data than panel photos though. SimSig Boss Log in to reply The following user said thank you: ozrail |

The original simulation took 18 months from start to release. I've no doubt an updated layout would take just as long.

arrivatw in post 95870 said:this is update to Cardiff Queen Street & Cardiff CentralJust for clarity these pictures are in no way officially connected to any updates to the Cardiff simulation to account for a new era. As much as I admire arrivatw's optimism. There is much more work than just using photoshop.

arrivatw in post 95870 said:this is update to Cardiff Queen Street & Cardiff CentralThere have been many more changes than that. For those unfamiliar with the area, there has been a substantial re-modelling of the whole of the Cardiff Central station area, and the Cardiff/Ninian Park/Grangetown triangle area. Roughly double the previous number of signal sections are present on the Valley lines in the Cardiff area. In addition, the layout at Pengam has been altered, including new and higher speed crossovers between the Main and Relief lines between Pengam and Cardiff, these lines are also bi-directional for some if not all of that section. Virtually every signal that was controlled by Cardiff PSB has been scrapped and replaced, often in a different position to the equivalent PSB signal. Notably, the Newport- Cardiff section is now mostly 3-aspect, spaced more widely than the dense 4 aspect arrangement previously used. It really would be a case of starting again from scratch- think of the difference between at London Euston between the Euston and Wembley Mainline simulations.
