What simulation should I buy next? 04/01/2023 at 18:09 #149973

Hello. I'm really enjoying SimSig, and own a few simulations, and want to expand my collection. But I'm really stuck on what to get next. I currently own Birmingham New Street, Leeds City, London Bridge, Sheffield, and Manchester North and Piccadilly. Out of all the sims I play, my favourites are Birmingham, Leeds, and Manchester North. Any suggestions are appreciated!

Hi,

Might I suggest trying out Three Bridges, if you want a larger area, or the Rugby sims which have lots of lovely freight and optional ARS. Or if you’re after a difficult one, Sandhills is scary when it’s got problems!

Thanks
Jamie

Manchester Piccadilly is a great Sim and chains to Manchester North. Otherwise I would echo that Three Bridges is also a great sim.

I'd recommend West Yorkshire which can get very busy and has lots of freight movements. Also Edinburgh can get hectic if you like the challenge of a large area.

Motherwell and Carlisle are always fun for the sheer variety of traffic - especially with the 1980s TTs which will see you tearing your hair out at 3am!
There's the right way, the wrong way and the railway.

Thanks for all your suggestions! I'm not a huge fan of large area simulations, because I usually like setting routes myself, so am steering towards something which I can play by myself without ARS.

Bear in mind that some sims let you turn ARS off in certain locations, so you can route trains yourself and others don't have ARS at all.

Would recommend Warrington, no ARS and busy enough for a solo player with a variety of timetables from the 70's to present day.

Agreed, I've recently finished playing through a Warrington timetable by myself and found it enjoyable yet mananagable.
