Welsh simsig

Severn Tunnel Junction is part of Newport

List of areas that cannot be simulated.

by Geoff

Geoff very sensibly takes the view that, although there is the potential to work right up to the boundaries, he wishes to keep a clear margin so there can be no possibility of problems arising.

There were significant layout alterations

By "SimSig" which is why I can't do Yoker.

If that is actually the case, it's probably an idea to change the statement on the wiki to say that, seeing as some always brings up the "well, as long as it isn't Geoff..." angle.

Done.

Perhaps a note of hope for those who feel a little disappointed that their favourite signalling area(s) can't be done for the said contractual reasons (which I totally understand and agree with) nevertheless, Marylebone IECC was firmly on the list of "never-never" sims less than a couple of years ago and yet look what we have now... Marylebone IECC sim released AND which includes some proposed future additions!

To (mis)quote a certain James Bond film title... "Never Say Never..."! Who knows what the future will bring? It brought us Marylebone IECC!

(daydream mode on) Wouldn't it be wonderful to have say Oxford-Leamington sim which could chain with Marylebone. Now THAT would be a real monster of a sim! (daydream mode off)

we need a welsh sim please
why not model Cardiff or Newport
or as it is now the SWCC

please please

Severn Tunnel Junction is part of Newport, and Swansea is Port Talbot Panel.

Looking at the diagrams for Port Talbot, and its twenty-nine interlockings, that would be a very large sim.

Indeed, although I had no idea it had so many interlockings. How many route miles does Port Talbot PSB have control over? AFAIK the boundaries are Llantrisant / Llanharran (on the main line), Cowbridge Road (VoG line), Llynfi Jcn & Margam Abbey Works East Jcn (fringes to Tondu, which could also be included as an afterthought), Jersey Marine South Jcn (fringe to Neath & Brecon Jcn), just south of Pantyffynon (fringe to the station of the same name) and the boundary with Pembrey & Bury Port. It does, of course, also have the "back route" from near Llansawel to Morlais Jcn whwere it links in with the Heart of Wales line.

Dave

32 miles Llanharan- Swansea
11 miles Swansea- Llanelli
15 miles Swansea District (Britton Ferry- Llandelio Jn)

58 miles of 'main line', plus the connections to Vale of Glamorgan and Maesteg branch at Bridgend, assorted bits of the freight lines around Margam, freight branches off the Swansea District and a very short section at the southern end of the Heart of Wales. The fringes are pretty much as you state above.

Port Talbot has a lot of interlockings because while the route mileage is low, it is also very complex.

E10k Relay Interlockings aren't small things, there is a definite tipping point at which it's more practical to have two smaller interlockings than one large.
