Greetings all, I figure it is probably best to put this here. A member of another railway forum is doing the Cherwell Valley line (or, to be exact, a version of it) for Train Simulator and I offered to get some of the signalling information. However to give him a better idea of the layout, particularly around Banbury, I had thought to use a SimSig screenshot (from the Marylebone sim) and edit that by writing in the signal numbers. I realise that OTT has the signalling numbers but not such a good show of the layout. Would use of the screenshot be infringing rules (ie copyright) in any way? I wouldn't have thought that this would do any harm but think it best to ask. Cheers, Dave Last edited: 02/02/2021 at 11:37 by DaveHarries Reason: None given Log in to reply |

Is the representation on Traksy any help?

One cannot copyright signal numbers, or indeed anything which is itself a representation of something else. Now, if someone were to produce a signalling simulation of the same area with virtually identical screen layout (spacing, graphics, labelling), then I might have an issue.

I wasn't sure if there was any copyright in regards the layout of the sim. The bloke I am in touch with says it is for Train Simulator so I think a signalling simulation here is not his intention.

Would it not be easier for him to just download the sim himself?
