More of a general idea than a sim in particular... but I'd love a really busy single panel sim. It can be a bit wider then the classic panel, but say sized to fit a 1280x960 lcd or similar. Basically I'd like a "quick snack" sim. Something that's very complex but at the same time lets me not have to navigate a large sim or play multiplayer. Imagine something like KingsX, but only the section from Alexandra Palace into Kings X.

I've found that the Waterloo sim works quite well as a "quick snack sim" if you turn all the ARS on, apart from the Waterloo platforms and maybe the station approaches from Vauxhall. But a stand-alone sim like that would also work quite well. Maybe London Bridge, either just the terminating platforms (8-18?) or possibly with the through platforms (1-6) out to the junction for South Bermondsey?

WembleySub (currently in beta test) might well suit you.

Are either of those available publically? Don't seem them in the downloads. I'd be happy to beta test if not, e-mail is tylere@gmai.com Log in to reply |

Waterloo is available from page 2 of the "Simulations" list in the download area. WembleySub is only available to certain testers as appointed by its developer (Clive). London Bridge is a wish list item. It does not exist. Log in to reply |

I agree that small, busy sims are definitely the most enjoyable kind for playing on your own, and hopefully one day there'll be more of them. The Croydon sim, also in beta testing, might also be what you're looking for: nominally it's three workstations but it's just about manageable by one person, so long as you don't ever stop to catch your breath! There was a very old paged version available on the old forum (before the website died last summer); I don't know if it's still available, but it has since been converted to scrolly and shown off (time-restricted) at the London meet in 2009. As with everything in Simsig, it'll be ready when it's ready.

Euston - when it's ready - will also be a nice but busy "small" sim - the real Euston was a 2-man panel (but a 3rd was required because it was decided no-one should do more than 4 hours on Station End).

Didcot is great for one person. Two views you control trains in and one third view that gives you advance warning of trains from Oxford, Swindon and Reading. You can download it from here if you're tempted. A small note though that there are two similar timetables included - one includes proper loco run-rounds for trains coming out of the power station heading to/beyond Swindon or coming from/beyond Swindon to the power station whilst the other is a simplified version which doesn't include the run round for these trains so it'd be up to you to decide which to use. Really is a great simulation  - especially the 125mph running on the fast lines

At some point one day, once all the fiddling is finished, I intend to extact a stand-alone Cowliars Sim from Central Scotland Sim. This is a two man box but might fit the bill. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply |

Peter,when you say "fiddling" are you including the "unmentionable " sims that we are so patiently waiting for ? Log in to reply |

I may be excessively pedantic and logical, but if the sims are "unmentionable" then Peter surely can't answer the question - and to be honest, I don't think we should be pressurising any of the developers by putting them on the spot like that.

Didcot said:Peter,when you say "fiddling" are you including the "unmentionable " sims that we are so patientlyNo I mean fiddling with Central Scotland; once extracted I have two sims to maintain in parallel so better to get the fiddling done first. As for the 'unmetionable' sims- they are entirely out of my hands (as I've told you several times before) save that I do maintain and update Exeter, SwinDid and Westbury data to keep them compatible with any changes and updates to core code so when the time comes they should be OK.

It is to my knowledge that sims are no longer released in the Beta stage due to the number of dedicated testers now available and in the interest of keeping product quality high. All Beta sims currently available are pre-facto releases from the old days.

as i was coming back from retford one day, we passed high marnhem power station box. and that seams to fit your bill as a busy pannel? especialy if the developers also added gainsborough trent junction in with it too, as you have the sheffield line 2 power station lines and the doncaster,lincoln and brigg lines to contend with. yours paul Log in to reply |

As it is now, High Marnham Power Station has been shut 7 years (since 2003) and no longer has chimneys nor a boiler house! I imagine in the 60s-80s though, this whole area would have been full of coal mines, coal trains and coal fired power stations, would be quite the sight! Log in to reply |

Suspect Paul's referring to West Burton SB - hourly passenger service and occasional freights for the most part!
