Hello! I randomly found this simulation in my SimSig Loader, and it looks pretty nice. I'm thinking about buying it, but there's something that concern me; It looks rather difficult. I'm mostly going to play single player. It looks like a big area, and a lot of level crossings without automation (I'm not a big fan of level crossings in the first place (Is it possible to disable them?)). It looks like there's a lot to keep track of. Is it difficult to play this by myself? What do you think? Thank you! - Stig - Stig Log in to reply |

The number of level crossings adds a challenge, as does all of the mechanical signalling. However, in the supplied timetable, there's only 2tph (with a few extras through the day) between Dundee and Aberdeen, so that makes things easier.

It looks like you can either play with mechanical signalling enabled or not. How is mechanical signalling represented in the simulation, and how do it differ from regular signalling in the simulation? - Stig Log in to reply |

A general guide to semaphore signalling in SimSig can be found here: https://www.SimSig.co.uk/Wiki/Show?page=usertrack:semaphores and there will be sim-specific details in the NEScot manual.
