Title
239.2 Miles Of Mechanical Absolute Block (Wales Chain!!)
Notes
Hello and welcome back, to another mega-chain!


AS A SIDE NOTE, SHOULD YOU WANT YOUR LIST OF OWNED SIMS TO BE KEPT PRIVATE LET ME KNOW AND I'LL PUT DOWN YOUR PANEL PREFERENCES BUT NOT SIM OWNERSHIP
:)

This time we cover an equally important Rail corridor the Welsh Marches.
We will cover the area from Holyhead - Cardiff Central which encompasses 45 MECHANICAL ABSOLUTE BLOCK SIGNAL BOXES
(In Order they are...Holyhead, Valley, Ty Croes, Gaerwen, Llanfair P.G., Bangor, Penmaenmawr, Llandudno, Deganwy, Llandudno Junc, Llanrwst, Abergele & Pensarn, Rhyl, Prestatyn, Talacre, Mostyn, Holwell Junction, Rockliffe Hall, Croes Newydd (Wrexham), Gobowen, (Nantwich, Wrenbury, Whitchurch, Prees, Wem, Harlescott, Crewe Bank), Crewe Junction, Severn Bridge Junction, (Abbey Foregate), Sutton Bridge Junction, Dorrington, Marshbrook, Craven Arms, Panttyffon (HOWL), Oninbury, Bromfield, Wooferton, Leominster, Moreton-On-Lugg, Hereford, Tram Inn, Pontrillas, Abergavenny and Little Mill.

(* Panttyffon, Is Not AB, Llanfair P.G. Is a gate box, Llandudno & Croes Newydd are both panels working AB) :P

As usual, we run the default 2015 TT from start to finish, but with Excursions, Test Trains and more!

So for this chain it is ESSENTIAL you understand the basic's of Absolute Block but if you don't there are 3 power boxes for TCB Working.

elltrain3 		How did i guess my AB Buddy would be the first to sign up XD
01/01/2021 at 19:02
jc92 		To be an absolute pedant -
Llanfair P.G. is a gate box, not a signal box/block post.
Llandudno Junc and Croes Newydd are NX panels and aren't mechanical
Panttyffon, isn't AB, its TCB and NSKT.

Oh Yes do apologise haha, technically Llandudno Jc & CN Work AB still
though yeah Panttyffon and Llanfair P.G. are not AB though I meant Mechanical Or AB as a broad term xD
03/01/2021 at 10:10
Lord_TnT 		Hi can someone sign me up for Penmanmawr, Deganwy & Llandudno?
Thx
03/01/2021 at 16:25
elltrain3 		i see there are 18 people signed up, though only 11 have panels, so still plenty of time but if you could inform me of what panel you would like (see spreadsheet for free panels) that'd be grand!

Cheers
07/01/2021 at 16:53
Class415 		Hi, could I do Little Mill Junction to Tram Inn?
07/01/2021 at 16:54
elltrain3 		Yep all signed up! see you in 9 days! xD
09/01/2021 at 16:05
elltrain3 		If anyone here owns the welsh valleys sim and would like to host with us to complete the main Cardiff services please do get in touch
14/01/2021 at 20:18
elltrain3 		Hello all! Chester has become Free, and Cardiff Valleys & VOG Are now also going to be chained!
(so message me if you want any panels)
15/01/2021 at 16:24
hall 		happy to purchase any sim and take any panel for the first time slot of the session
15/01/2021 at 16:27
elltrain3 		Shrewsbury is the most empty followed by Hereford, followed by Cardiff (and then the valleys/VOG) so if at all possible one of the first 2 if your happy too! that'd be great!

and whichever you do decide If you wanna shout what panel(s) you want I'll make a note
16/01/2021 at 11:04
hall 		I would happily take crewe junction on Shrewsbury. Amx if needed any other boxes around it. Also my TS and in game name will show up as sam.
16/01/2021 at 14:01
elltrain3 		Cool Cheers Sam!, would you be okay with Crewe Junc + the Crewe Boxes?
16/01/2021 at 15:47
jc92 		I Completely forgot to state preferences, however I have access to all sims, so whatevers left, SBJ appears to be free for the first session, otherwise happy to work anything.
16/01/2021 at 16:08
elltrain3 		Thats alright! haha, and yea either Severn Brigde, 4/5 Panels on Hereford Or Any of the Cardiffs :)
being we have less than 2 hours (that went quick xD) just tell me when you join TS haha
16/01/2021 at 16:58
Dionysusnu 		I completely forgot about panel signups.. is there any chance I could have something on North East Wales or North Wales Coast?
16/01/2021 at 17:02
elltrain3 		all panels are free atm but you are welcome to come and serve as "backup" or Peter could squeeze you in to some NWC Boxes :)
so join TS and we'll get you sorted
