I have no idea what sims might be coming round this time. Will it involve RETB? Or maybe the missing part at the other end, i.e. Cornwall? Perhaps someone in the know might suggest which Quail I should bring with me? Thanks Jamie Jamie S (JAMS) Log in to reply |

Could be anything, but that's part of the fun! Cornwall, or something less hectic than a busy London-area sim would be nice (but that's the mood I'm in tonight). I'll say what I always say: GEML would be great - I always feel East Anglia is a bit missed out (as incorrect as that may be). Log in to reply |

Well I see a few possible items that may or may not happen and is purely wishful thinking on my part! Already public: Edinburgh BUT converted to loader with two eras eg Pre 2010 and post 2010 Central Scotland but with the OHL reflecting the limits as it is in real life Horsham updated so chains with Three Bridges Southampton re-released but covering the existing Eastleigh ASC area Cambridge but converted to loader with two eras eg Pre 2018 and post 2018 Peterborough but converted to loader with the existing two eras but also with a third era for 2014 with the new layout. Future releases eg may or may not be in development Crewe Blackpool Branches North London Line West Wales Colchester Doncaster I now await to see what actually might be on show and see just how wrong or right I was..

ajax103 in post 123604 said:Well I see a few possible items that may or may not happen and is purely wishful thinking on my part! Doncaster would be a good one as that would chain to Peterborough. It is also one I hope will be done one of these days. Crewe would be good. As for the Blackpool branches I would imagine that, if that was in development, it might come out at the same time as Preston to which I think the fringe box was Salwick. Colchester ASC would be good - that is another one I have been hoping for. Southampton re-released to cover all of Eastleigh ASC would be great and would allow another sim for chaining to Salisbury. But then again so would Basingstoke ASC (Salisbury to Exeter) of which I once did a non-functioning mockup: I still have the BMP file for it. OOI what are the differences in layout between the current Peterborough sim and the post-2014 layout in use now? For my guess I would hope to see Walsall and / or Stourbridge Jcn but I will be happy with whatever turns up. I am yet to establish how long a trip I will make of it (a long weekend, to allow for photos at Clacton and other places, may be a consideration) but I will await the weather forecast before deciding. headshot119 in post 123603 said: Any gen on an Oslo sim featuring? There's Norway that will happen unless someone has the gen for it. Would be fun though. Dave Last edited: 07/03/2020 at 11:22 by DaveHarries Reason: None given Log in to reply |

DaveHarries in post 123606 said:ajax103 in post 123604 said:The differences for Peterborough is:Well I see a few possible items that may or may not happen and is purely wishful thinking on my part! Flyash Loop lifted and replaced with Platforms 6/7 Platform 1 lifted and not replaced/filled in Platform 2 now Platform 1 Platform 3 now Platform 2 Platform 3 is a new platform Plus I'm sure they remodelled the route to March Also current Platforms 1/2 now lenghtened with Platform 1 being extended over the old junction into the former Platform 1 Also junction to the Flyash Loop got plain lined too. So quite a lot you see when it got remodelled which I believe is enough for it to be considered as a era in it's own right. As to Doncaster not only would it chain to York but also to Leeds, South Humberside, Peterborough, Sheffield and Worksop as well as Hull if that was ever considered. Colchester I would like to see as I would like to see the GEML extended to the same distance as the WAML which has been done even if only to Shenfield. But if it came to Blackpool or Preston, my wallet would be on Preston as that's the one sim more then anything I would like to see.

ajax103 in post 123604 said:The differences for Peterborough is: Thanks for the information Ajax. As for Doncaster I hadn't realised that a sim of that PSB would chain to so much! In fact it would probably be the biggest chain in SimSig. We should also not forget that Doncaster would also chain to York on the line to Joan Croft & Shaftholme Junctions. Therefore if we used KX, Peterborough, Sheffield, Leeds and York and we had one player for each workstation then that would make for a 25 player chain (KX: 5, PB: 5, Sheffield: 8, Leeds: 4, York: 3). As a point though I wonder why else there might be a PBO meet. Perhaps Doncaster (or a playable preview thereof) might emerge? Who knows? I don't and I will wait and see. Dave Log in to reply |

DaveHarries in post 123608 said:ajax103 in post 123604 said:Doncaster would be big enough on it's own and I think judging by the area covered that it would be similar in difficulty to Three Bridges and London Bridge combined!The differences for Peterborough is: As to the meet being in Peterborough, remember Sheffield, Sandhills and West Yorkshire were debuted at the Birmingham meet in 2018 and those areas are nowhere near Birmingham otherwise one might have expected a Walsall sim to see the light... If we're lucky to see a new sim great but then again we might just see a existing sim updated then again there might be nothing to show off, whatever it is I look forward to seeing as many people as possible who have joined my sessions then, now and forever ![]() Log in to reply |

DaveHarries in post 123608 said:[quote=ajax103;post=123604]Beyond coincidence, the geographical location of meets has nothing to do with any new sims or previews. most likely choice of location as Pbro is that its very accessible by rail, and is on the east coast of the UK where the previous meet was on the west. varying the location makes it fairer for everyone. Maybe.....there won't be anything new and everyone can just enjoy meeting up, having a social and running an existing set of sims.

Ajax all I can say to your original speculation is, [dodgy french accent] Nil Points [/dodgy french accent]. But then I may be wrong, but I know I've only done one TT thats on your list (yet) ;) But then I only write TT's could feature something I wrote a couple of years back.

Thanks for the confirmation, glad you are so thorough, spent last week in West and South Wales visiting all the lines in South and West wales except Aberdare, Central Wales, the Marches line and Penarth, rekindled my interest in West Wales. Keep up the good work. Glyn Calvert ACIRO Last edited: 08/03/2020 at 16:32 by geswedey Reason: None given Log in to reply |

Thames valley would be nice but what would be really nice would be to see simulations that have had tweaks done to them because of mantis fixes with promises in the forum of it being reissued with the fixes at he next issue actually being reissued. I can’t remember when the loader showed the red updates actually showing that some were available.

I'm going to guess for Dili Middle Box, East Timor. Possibly the north box but that may be a guess too far.
