Is there a picture? ;-)

For those dedicated enough to be awake, should we be expecting a midnight release on the 24th? (Or possibly 00:01, as train timetables don't do midnight!)

The Signal Number Plan has now been added, so you can use that as well.

What era has Newport been modelled on? Only ask as there's 1 inaccuracy with the trackwork on the East triangle!

The Cwmbran-East Usk curve of the triangle is single-line. Not sure if it's bi-di or not, but it has been single-line for a few years now!

Newport simulates the Newport PSB layout, not the current South Wales ROC layout. The East curve was double track at that time.

It's a slightly later era than my time at Little Mill Jn (early 1990s). Some serious modifications have been made to the interlocking since then as now the signals are capable of showing a Green aspect.

Was that when you moved away from Little Mill, and a number of red aspects displayed at Bristol?

Standard operating procedure - you have to have a red before any other colour.

I've heard of both Birmingham New Street and Bristol Temple Meads referred to as "The Crucible" since you almost always get a red before a colour.

KymriskaDraken used to be a signaller at Temple Meads - & funnily enough, has said that exact same thing!

Kev I understood drivers called Sheffield the Crucible for that exact reason ;)

I have never been a Signaller. I was a Signalman :P
