 Heres Blankney & Sleaford North, you can enter the image URL and use Ctrl + Mouse Wheel to see it. There are MCB-OD as Rowston, Scopwick, Saxilby. They have Invensys barriers expect Saxilby. And heres Sleaford Main:  Heres Saxilby:  I forgot to color saxilby Class 150/2 approaching towards Welshpool. Wrong train you got, only 158's are fitted with ERTMS.

" said:It's not a sim...Not too sure of that...perhaps you mean not an officially released Sim Sig sim. Looking at the post under the West Highland Line and quoted below it could be one or two things. "Many people wanted this. I hope West Highland Fort William to Mallaig will be released. It is a simulation of Banavie Signal Box. The swing bridge is all automatic and the signal on bridge will be red if the boat will come. Banavie level crossing will also be included. RETB also. I'll provide some mockups later. I will start my work on Scratch but for beginning, simpler. A simple signal box simulation like Yapton crossing" More mockops...a simulation like Yapton crossing......who knows what is planned......It will probably be ready when it's ready though......

That's what I was trying to get to the bottom of earlier. Now reading back to #12 I read "My new signalling IECC simulation will be written on Scratch, it's more simpler." which I'd assumed was "from scratch" but I've now found this.

I think it's important to support young people who are interested in either software or signalling and not be too cruel with tongue-in-cheek comments. Equally, though, I think it's important not to leave people with unrealistic expectations. I've never used Scratch but I doubt you could produce a signalling sim with it. You probably can, in theory, in PowerPoint, but it's a really really bad idea - it's not the right tool for the job. (Wasn't PCRail written in FoxPro? I shudder, but it worked!) But Newbuildmini if you're reading this, please please do go out and write software about something you're enthusiastic about! Just be aware that producing SimSig was a lot more work than it looked - to get it where it is now has taken, what, over 15 years of work?

Delphi just reported compiling 181,000 lines of source for the SimSig Loader - this presumably includes blank lines and comments, but nonetheless is 2.5x what it was 10 years ago!

Yes i am at school age. I do not want to play this anymore cause it's boring. How do you delete your account?

I’d like to emphasise what Forest Pines and GeoffM said earlier: we all have to start somewhere, although it’s good that’s ones goals are realistic. Also, actually having a goal can be an incentive to learn new skills. I’m writing this as someone who actually creates signalling simulations as one of his hobbies (although not of the Simsig variety), and in my case, the desire to bring a block bell to life - so to speak - was what finally got me into programming microcontrollers. That was 13 years ago and I’ve come a long way since! I started simple: my first simulation had just one stop signal in either direction, but it was enjoyable and evocative (it replayed an actual train register from a line I knew in my childhood). So if NewBuildmini432 is still reading this, don’t be discouraged, and do have a go using the programming/software available to you. Remember that results won’t come overnight; it may take some effort, but that makes the results all the more satisfying in the end. If you want a really simple Lincolnshire location to simulate (to get started), I have a suggestion: I’ve scanned some pages from a 1951 Seacroft train register book and uploaded them to my website for you. I don’t know what your programming tools are, and block bells would be difficult, but you may find it interesting to think what you might be able to do. Seacroft is now just an automatic crossing a mile or so outside Skegness, but in 1951 it was operated as a block post when the line was busy. And this register is from summer 1951, and on summer weekends in 1951 the line certainly was busy! Although ‘straight up and down’, the register is not without interest: notice the flow of down (towards Skegness) trains does not match that of up trains (away from Skegness). This of course is what you would expect: day trippers arrive in the morning and go home around teatime. Also, you sometimes see Up trains being held at Seacroft, as it’s a few miles to the next block post inland (Havenhouse or Wainfleet). Hope this is of interest. The files (about 2.5 Mb each) are: http://www.lymmobservatory.net/railways/trb_extracts/seacroft_0.jpg http://www.lymmobservatory.net/railways/trb_extracts/seacroft_1.jpg http://www.lymmobservatory.net/railways/trb_extracts/seacroft_2.jpg http://www.lymmobservatory.net/railways/trb_extracts/seacroft_3.jpg http://www.lymmobservatory.net/railways/trb_extracts/seacroft_4.jpg http://www.lymmobservatory.net/railways/trb_extracts/seacroft_5.jpg http://www.lymmobservatory.net/railways/trb_extracts/seacroft_6.jpg http://www.lymmobservatory.net/railways/trb_extracts/seacroft_7.jpg http://www.lymmobservatory.net/railways/trb_extracts/seacroft_8.jpg http://www.lymmobservatory.net/railways/trb_extracts/seacroft_9.jpg http://www.lymmobservatory.net/railways/trb_extracts/seacroft_10.jpg http://www.lymmobservatory.net/railways/trb_extracts/seacroft_11.jpg http://www.lymmobservatory.net/railways/trb_extracts/seacroft_12.jpg http://www.lymmobservatory.net/railways/trb_extracts/seacroft_13.jpg http://www.lymmobservatory.net/railways/trb_extracts/seacroft_14.jpg OK, you don’t need all of them but you’ll get the idea. Not yet linked from the web page, but I’ll sort that out in due course.

Well, I think some of the posts above have been a tiny bit mean towards NewBuildMini, especially the English speaking adults. I think NewBuildMini is a Russian speaker, using English as a second language. I couldn't write a single word of Russian, well, except perhaps Nyet and Dos Vidaniya! He is also a lad at school, whose enthusiasm should be encouraged, even if some of the ambitions may not be achieved. I developed the Track & Signals Editor that you can use to draw a picture of a rail layout in the SimSig style so that members of the forum could draw areas not covered by SimSig, which if you think about it is most of the railways of the world! And most of the historical eras too. That is not a criticism of SimSig. The layout program is just another option to add another dimension to people's involvement with SimSig. It is purely fun and of course, drawing a picture is easier than trying to explain a layout in a thousand words. You can use the editor program to draw a simple, quick drawing or one with all the details you would expect to see in a full simulation, as the SimSig Team would do, as long as you have the time and all the info. One of the SimSig developers has used it to help them in their work. So, I hope you agree, that it can be useful as an aid. But it is only a picture, not a full blown simulation. So, what I am trying to say is, we need to get used to members making their own drawings, which are simply for fun and do not reflect on the good work, past, present or future of the SimSig team. I hope you come back NewBuildMini and continue to draw layout suggestions and try out that programming language. Last edited: 31/10/2015 at 23:31 by Roadrunner Log in to reply |
