I'm pleased to say that all three simulations will be available for anyone who attends the meet to play on the day.

Great stuff: I look forward to seeing them and trying them out.

As an added bonus, if you attend the meet and are the first person to have guessed one of the simulations on show in this thread, you can claim a free pint off of me.
A pint of milk?
As a responsible retailer of alcohol, a none alcoholic alternative would of course be offered if requested.
A pint of Dihydrogen Monoxide then?

Im gonna throw in there that it might be the rest of liverpool street IECC. Makes sense for it all to be developed at the same time when the data has been collected Etc.

I'll offer you a tenner at 6:1 that it isn't.

I am not a betting man so I would refuse that bet. Saying that one thing I wouldn't mind would be a Cambridge scrolly which included the Ely - Norwich line via. Shippea Hill.

There must be some way to arbitrage that against the free pint if it is. Do you get a free £10 bet if you are a first time customer?

You can always tell a Yorkshireman; you just can't tell them much.

Cambridge scrolly with the addition of the Kings Lynn branch

However if and when Cambridge does get re-released, hopefully it will include the new post 2016 layout at Cambridge which I rather have over extending the sim but that's my personal preference.

Yes you could try the KL branch but that is presumably worked from Kings Lynn Junction and that, I would have thought, would come under a separate simulation. Perhaps a post-2016 era, minus the KL branch but including the Ely to Norwich route and also, as an option for a post-2016 era, the station at Cambridge North.

To be pedant, the Kings Lynn branch is actually worked by multiple signalboxes being:

Cambridge power box
Littleport
Downham Market
Magdalen Road (Watlington)
King's Lynn

As a compromise, why not a new sim fringing with Cambridge at Ely North Junction but with both the Ely to Norwich and the Ely to Kings Lynn lines?

Or just leave it as it is but as a scrolly with a 2016 era?

Scrolly with a Cambridge North and Platforms 7/8 is all I'd like!

I'll take a stab at...

East Croydon / Selhurst - I don't know the name the box would have, but it would link Oxted to Victoria SE
Hastings / Rye / Marsh-link Line / Hastings line
Ashford - You can dream
Merseyrail - well, the bits not currently covered

The train now standing on platform 2, should be on the rails

Comes under Three Bridges I think but which of the two boxes I know not.

You might know something we don't Clive! I am not a betting man so you won't get your tenner but I will throw a Cambridge remake into the ring purely for fun. However I would then hope for Doncaster to come into play somewhere too.

As I understand it and this is from a London Reconnections article which states that between East Croydon and Oxted/East Grinstead, the line is signalled by Three Bridges to Upper Warlingham to Oxted with Oxted controlling both Oxted and East Grinstead lines.

Now I know there was a East Croydon sim as a scrolly that was in developement a few years ago but apart from the testing team it has never been released so maybe this could be one?

The recent updates to Newport and Shrewsbury make me wonder whether we might be seeing a sim to fit in between these two in the near future?

Unfortunately, I can't make the meet (sister's 50th birthday party) but I'm looking forward to seeing which new sims appear.
