Do you have any plans for other panels?

Let's get these two out and see what people think! One step at a time!

I'm not familiar with the areas simulated so whereabouts down under are they?

Also congratulations to the team for branching out into more worldwide sims :)

As nobody else has pointed this out - By accident or design, the manual for the Strathfield sim is visible on the Wiki.

Note for Admin: Given my previous Wiki query - I am raising this

It's intentional that's it's visible.

Just to give you an overview of the 2 sims.

Strathfield covers around 32km's of mainline from Sydney to the west. It has 2 main junctions on it being the junction to the north at Strathfield station & the junction to the west/south west at Lidcombe. There is also a reasonably small amount of freight line to manage as part of the sims as well as 1 of the main maintenance centres.

Moss Vale covers approx. 430km's of track with 40km's being the very step "mountain" line from Moss Vale towards the coast. Although there is a lot less trains to manage you can still get yourself into trouble trying to work the local passenger services around the regional passenger & freight trains.

As we said at the meet on the weekend we do have plans for more Australian sims, but our main priority at the moment is to get these 2 released & the bugs sorted out before we move onto any others. This project has been a huge learning curve for all concerned even the seasoned Simsig veteran.

Okay, that helps explain a bit more about the Aussie sims as to plans for more are there any plans for any European sims such as France, Germany etc.... or even Stateside?

Ireland would be an easy transition given that most but not all of their practices are the same, just with wider gauge.

Who knows? I wouldn't mind Cologne and Bonn. Or Amsterdam for that matter. Maybe one day but I am looking forward to these Aussie ones right now.
