Contains no Lincoln, i wish there was a simulation based around Lincoln. On northern part of going past Lincoln it ends at South Humberside. The eastern part is Skegness, full of AOCL's. Thanks to Roadrunner for the mockup software, it is black and white so i had to color the black and white mockup in Paint. Mockups: Skegness Station:
Wainfleet:

Thorpe Culvert:

Train passing Thorpe Culvert

Note, the train picture is actually not a simulation, it's also a mockup. I made it look like a simulation for it to be nice.
Pretend description: 1W18 non stop pass Thorpe Culvert from Skegness to Boston. I plan to make a game like SimSig in Powerpoint. It will have Lincoln and about 10 simulations. Decide which they should be. Thats all. I'll post my own reply here if i make more mockups.

Class 150/2 approaching towards Welshpool. Wrong train you got, only 158's are fitted with ERTMS.

Skegness needs a distant signal. I think one train an hour could get a bit tedious.

Lincoln mechanical would be good. I think the SCC will be off limits.

I'll make Lincoln mechanical if i can find out whether it is not in Conflict of Interest, i'll ask Geoff.

Why does it matter to you if it's a conflict of interest for Geoff? Unless you're working with him, I can't see why it would be.

I'm fairly sure mechanical boxed wouldn't be a conflict of interest anyway.

Lincoln is on the CoI list.

Saying that, so was Marylebone and we got that in the end.

Lincoln SCC not the previous mechanical boxes

It doesn't matter anyway- he's just making a mock-up, not a simulation...

How do you make those mock-ups? Would love to make some myself

Hello again, i have done Lincoln mockup. It's mechanical but has modern crossings, also it was halogen when it had semaphores. Now it's LED. However has halogen pedestrian light.

My new signalling IECC simulation will be written on Scratch, it's more simpler. It will include Lincoln SCC. The Lincoln map will be called Lincolnshire. It will include all my mockups.

Vote for features:
Functional crossings Yes/No
RETB Yes/No
ERTMS Yes/No
Absolute block with working bells Yes/No

Vote for maps:
ECML Yes/No
WCML Yes/No
Cambrian Line Yes/No
West Highland Line Yes/No
Great Eastern Main Line Yes/No
Great Western Main Line Yes/No

The features in menu will be: Select a panel/box in a simulation, whole signalling centre mode: includes all panels. There will be also: Set frequency of calls from crossings.
This is just a concept. I'll return with more mockups.

From the above I'm a little confused as to what you are intending to do. Is it more mock-ups, in which case what do you mean by "functional" or are you intending to build Sims, in which case should you be using our forum as a [potential] competitor?

I'm still not clear as to what your intentions are, is it purely mock-ups or are you intending to try and build working Sims in some form?

You refer to mock-ups but also use words such as "functional" and "simulation" and say "This is just a concept. I'll return with more mockups.". From which I infer you maybe intending to do more than just mock-ups.

I'm not saying you can't use this forum to advertise your intentions (Geoff would have to take a view on that and did agree to semaphore simulations a while ago) but it'd be nice to know.

I'm not sure if you are aware but the layout was also considerably different when Lincoln still had it's semaphores.

There's also strange sentences like:

Fix me, it is was before bed the Lincoln so i forgot controls, actually let it be a CK Crossing Keeper type crossings, since i do not plan in Lincoln a centre controlling crossings, it is not a SCC, so if it was and it had no conflict of interest, i would add colour signals. So the signal boxes are keepers. Makin more mockups, was late for school so i can't go there. This time it's gonna be Saxilby

It's quite definitely you, as it obviously made perfect sense to the member who posted it........

If I followed it correctly, he's currently making more mockups instead of being at school, due to being "late" and hence being unable to go to school for some unexplained reason.

This was the earlier post that had me confused especially the vote for maps section. It appears that a simulation or mock up for the EML/WCML/Cambrian Line/West Highland Line/Great Eastern Main Line and Great Western Mainline is on the agenda.....or am I totally off the beaten track....

"Eleven minutes late, there was a problem with a level crossing." as Reginald Perrin might have said.
