would be, but peak service is a maxiumum of three trains running, although the small size of the sim would make it slightly intense

A simulation is a simulation. The same as a workstation is a workstation and a train is a train.

The 1967 layout with the 12 minute service would be more interesting. Also the Ryde Pierhead-Esplanade service (ECS to St Johns) and the odd Sandown turnback would make things more interesting.

This could be a useful stepping stone from Royston to one of the larget Sims which would allow people to gain confidence.

i agree. in honesty id like to see this done as something unusual but interesting. i was merely raising the issue that some people will coin.
