Changing layout/speeds etc is more of a rebuild.

Probably not, as this would replicate the layout on the Colwich - Tamworth area as it is today, which would be treading on the toes of Tresim who do the official simulators of the said area for Network Rail.

Any update would most likely be the layout as seen on Stafford but with updated core code.

Which is what some of us would like to see if there's ever to be 'historic' sims for the rest of the southern WCML (closing the gap with Euston).

5419 posts 		So what is there [currently] that we can do?

Wembley (ML), Watford and Bletchley?
Then Rugby which we can't
Then Crewe up to Carlisle?

So is it the bit between Bletchley and Crewe? or are there other boxes between Bletchley and Crewe that can be done?

What is there on the line to New St?

Euston PSB, Willesden PSB, Watford Junction PSB, Bletchley PSB, Rugby PSB, Nuneaton PSB (which would then link onto Stafford SimSig)

And from Rugby towards the West Midlands, originally was Rugby PSB, Coventry PSB and then New Street PSB (and if you want to carry on Walsall PSB (via Grand Lines), Wolverhampton PSB which links to Stafford again.

Geoff may be able to clarify what can and can't be done.
