Recently completed the 24 hour marathon that was Bristol modern era, but at beginner level with no failures....a very busy Sim nevertheless. Congratulations to those who have helped in creating it. Similarly, Peterborough has now been completed with the whole of the 24 hours done at double speed!! Thats how easy it is especially with ARS....you really don't have to do much at all. OK, so whats next...? Not Bristol in a diffeerent era/increased difficulty level, I'm still waking at nights drenched in a cold sweat!!

Toying with the idea of Cambridge...after also having done part of Gloster and I really don't want to go there again. Noy really interested in the 'biggies' like KC/Trent/Scottish sims as I'm not that familiar with those regions. Also done Westbury......

Any help really appreciated.

Edinburgh is a nice one, and has ARS to help.

I first started on Royston then took on Didcot then Liverpool Street (or other way round for the last two). Southampton is a good one too.

Didcot has ARS, 125mph running and a manageable area for one person.

Liverpool Street also has ARS but obviously lower speed than Didcot as it's the area into and out of Liverpool Street, a terminus station.

Southampton is a larger area than Didcot but I still found it manageable on my own. Thankfully it's a scrolly so it has the overview feature and I found it easy to have that open as well as the view window and control window which helped.

Have a thought of those, I think they're all available.

Any views and / or opinions expressed by myself are from me personally and do not represent those of any company I either work for or am a consultant for.

Thanks Guys....I think I'll play around with Cambridge for a wee while and also try and get some 'on line' signalling experiences, but nothing too onerous until I'm familiar with the interactions and protocols...
