Now that v1.5 of the Warrington sim has been publically rreleased I have now submitted my Warrington summer 1992 TT for moderators approval & will be available to download once it has been approved under user contributed in the downloads section. Here's a copy of what's shown under the 'General' tab for this timetable. This timetable contains 1184 trains in it & can be very challenging at times for those who enjoy running BR era timetables. I hope all of you who play it enjoy it.

Up to 0200 on a Thursday & loving it, tremendous work as always Pascal. Couple of bits for you; 7M6122351 & T.77-A11 (& subsequent parts); both trains ran on what appear to be the same schedules throughout. 0M22RR needs through line stop ticked to allow loco to return to WBQ to attach to 6M221920WO otherwise you get a w/r call.

officer dibble in post 155665 said:Up to 0200 on a Thursday & loving it, tremendous work as always Pascal. 7M61 & 7T77/$t.77-A11 do run with the same timings & the reason for that is because 7M61 is a WTT service & T.77 is in the Trip Notice which only shows arrival & departure time at certain specific locations & nothing in between. That's something users will need to get used to. When I was doing the testing despite both trains arriving at Walton Old Jn MSC Sdgs at the same time usually 7M61 crosses Winnick Jn early & 7T77 is approaching Goldbourne Jn to cross onto the Up ML before going onto the slow behind 7M61. You will also find that once T.77 has RR its train it usually rings out immeadiately behind 7M61 which is quite acceptable for this period. When I back timed 7T77 from its arrival time at Fiddlers Ferry Power Station those were the times that train would pass those locations using the same number of minutes aloaded MGR train would take between each timing location. It's just one of those quirks of fate in this particular TT. With regards to the 0M22RR I've now added the 'Thru Line Stop' tick in the WBQ location where the loco re-joins the tgrain in the DS. Can I suggest users add that tick in to their own copy of the TT so the driver doesn't ring in claiming wrong route. When the next version is uploaded that'll be fixed. Thanks for spotting that Paul.

This may be a daft question - how do I get a loco from the Springs Branch Neck into the LIP? I can't set a route from there to WN67 (even if the onward route is set). If I use the exit arrow 73X is that still part of the LIP complex as the loco disappears off the sim without questioning the route but the labels don't make it clear if this is the case.
There's the right way, the wrong way and the railway. Log in to reply |

With regards to Wigan LIP, all locos going onto the LIP run via the neck. Locos coming off the LIP to go elsewhere enter at 66GPS. Another thing users need to note, on occasions you may find a 2Z08 seeded at AJ33 signal Up Sdg at Arpley Jn & usually depart at 09.00. You'll see it on the F2 as there's no TD berth on that siding & depart at 09.00. The 2 trains are set at 25% so you wan't get them everytime, one is a Track Recording Unit & the other is ATO Training set. So just be warned in case you miss it until the driver rings in saying he's standing a red signal.

Much abandoning of timetables and reversing back and forth ensued to be able to release the engines for the run rounds LOL. Oh well ... Log in to reply |

Not really your patch is it Neil to be fair. I'll give you a tip regarding the MGR trains to & from Fiddlers Ferry Power Station. The ones worked by pairs of Cl.20 locos run round their respected trains in Walton Old MSC Sdgs. The 2 trains from Milford WS go into the Walton Old Jn. MSC Sdgs but don't run round as 0T19 the the MGR Draw Back loco is booked to taake those trains to LatchFord Sdgs where they detach & the train loco is facing the right way to head off to Fiddlers Ferry & the same when they return with the empties. 0T19 attaches to the rear of the train when it arrives in Latchford Sdgs & drags it to Walton Old Jn. MSC Sdgs where the train loco is again facing the right way to go back to Milford WS. It would be nice to know how far into the TT you've managed to get & the same goes for all the other users that are playing this TT. No one has mentioned owt so I'm assuming everything is running as it should. Log in to reply |

I'm up to 6am at this stage with this timetable and very much enjoying it!. There might be less traffic but this will soon change when I continue on. One recommendation is to have saves set to every 10mins in case you make mistakes which I did. Probably because I'm to use to my own modern timetables. I'm very local to the area been Atherton which is on the Man Picc sim.

I'm very local to the area been Atherton which is on the Man Picc sim.I do exactly that. I always have my snapshots set to every 10 minutes so just as you say if you make a mistake you only need to go back 10 minutes or less before you correct yourself & can continue. Yes John like you I use the scratch pads in preference to sticking post it notes on the screen unless its far enough away from a scratch pad. Log in to reply |

Is it as difficult as Carlisle 1979-1980. I started this timetable in August 2023 and got as far as 00:50 which was the last of the 10 minute saves. There's nothing after that one so looks as though I abandoned it at that point 🥴 Everything that you make will be useful - providing it's made of chocolate. Log in to reply |

It is sometimes as demanding on the signaller as the 1979 Carlisle TT although not as busy in terms of numbers of trains on the panel. This is due to the phone calls that have to be made around the Arpley area. You can decide as policy not to make the calls and take the penalties but that seems a bit like cheating.

I'm nearly half way through the current timetable so will probably give the 1992 tt a go afterwards. Everything that you make will be useful - providing it's made of chocolate. Log in to reply |
