Hi Guys

This is a huge long shot. I used to operate a simulator from SimSig many years before the loader came out. It gave me many hours of enjoyment. But I can't for the life of me remember the name of it and having opened all the available sims I can't find it. There was plenty of freight traffic which used to head towards the bottom right of the layout where there was multiple sidings and yards (I think it may have been a port), and a level crossing on that freight branch just before it rejoined the main lines. I have attempted a feeble sketch of the layout as I remember it. Any ideas what it was?

Thanks in advance (Please see attachment)

There were no major stations in the Sim, although the lines coming from the top right came from a busy station hub, I'm almost certain there were 4 lines coming in from that direction.

South Humberside comes to my mind (with Immingham and Scunthorpe as freight destinations). Or Trent, maybe (Toton). These two are no longer available AFAIK.

Edit: Definitely it is South Humberside, with Barnetby station on your sketch.

See this page: https://www.SimSig.co.uk/Wiki/Show?page=simulations:southhumberside:SHpanels

Have you tried:
Download
Browse Downloads
Official Software
Simulations (Donationware)
and then:
London Midland & North West for Trent
or:
Eastern & Anglia for South Humberside
?

They're (all) there.


Having said all that, I miss the Loader version of the NLL (with all it's issues). I still have the old paged one but it's somehow not the same

Oh. I've missed that, however, I've found somewhere a download link, which gave 404.

Thanks Sunockse!

That is the very one! And having looked at the layout actual layout compared to my awful sketch 1) I'm amazed you pieced the two together and 2) I can't believe how shot my memory is ! :)

Anyway, that;s Sunday sorted Thanks again.

Do you mean the EXE scrolly one? I don't know of the existence of a playable loader one.
