Where is that

Nice video... Where is Codnor Park, and what do PMR and MRT stand for

Russ great explanation of how Blisworth works. Russ I noticed your display of the train information shows bigger font size ,how do you alter the font size on the train information box? My display screen 1920 x 1080.

Russ , TC means "through carriage". EG. - 1N81 for Windermere also includes a section for Blackpool ( removed at Preston no doubt ) and section of Sleeping cars and and coach(s) for Whitehaven ( also removed at Preston ?)

Thanks for another informative video Russ, I have been playing this version of Bath Green Park and have enjoyed it so far. I am wondering if there might be some updates to other heritage sims like Kettering Jcn and Wigston North as they are quite old now. Keep up the good work.

Good evening, it is not yet entirely clear to me whether those old electric block systems (Absolute block system, if I am not mistaken) with a wooden case were or were not influenced by the passage of trains for the purpose of occupying and freeing the section (block) towards to which and from which the train was respectively headed or from which the train came. Furthermore, it is not clear whether there is an electrical connection between the lever that controls the opening of the starting signal and the apparatus with wooden case. In other words, was it possible to pull the lever that activated the starting signal towards you without first having received electrical consent from the next station? However, it is common ground that where there is a token block it is possible to activate the lever that opens the starting signal even before having handed over the token to the driver, unless there is an error on my part. Thank you very much for your availability and collaboration

very sad day

This has given you a new subscriber Russ.

nice one Russ - start on speed 1 for me

That was very good. Some lovely bell sounds! I'll need a bit more time on the simpler ones first, but I'll get to it eventually. Many thanks.

LOl.....I got a "Form 1" for switching out my Box 30 minutes early at "Leigham Jnc" (Southern Region) back in the late 1960's.

one of the best heritage simulations available

Good to hear you back Russ , great video

Russ , Just a mention for your info . It seems that this video is in 360p and plays very blurry. Your other videos play at 1080p and are very clear.

💖💖💘💘❤❤

Beautiful !!!!

Thanks Russ. I must say I have never risked having class 9 trains up to 3 hours late! I tend to use the bottom right ALL/ALL cell, which fill all the other cells with the same figure, such as 30% of trains averaging 20 mins, and then tweaking a few of the cells, such as class 0 appearing from sheds. The entering of numbers is also non-intuitive, rather different from Excel, for example, and can be frustrating. I enjoy putting on substantial degree of lateness, but be warned that long delays (or a failed loco) can result in a second version of the same loco appearing before its previous working is complete, thus unrealistically having duplicate versions of the same loco simultaneously on the panel. I have reported this in the forum a couple of times over a period of years and asked if the software can be modified to prevent this happening. John has acknowledged this as 'a useful feature' and has said that it is on the list for possible future development There can also be a problem in that the order in which locos exit sidings or sheds appears to be fixed in some cases, so a late running loco can hold up following locos. This is a pity, since it is unrealistic most of the time, given that there might be situations in practice which would cause it, for example if a loco was to fail and block exit from the sidings. Here are links to a couple of my posts on these topics groups.io/g/pcrail/message/1923?p=%2C%2C%2C20%2C0%2C0%2C0%3A%3Acreated%2C0%2CLlandudno%2C20%2C2%2C0%2C89698999 groups.io/g/pcrail/topic/80376788#1025 Peter

Thanks for this Russ. Re Harwich - I have always pronouced it Ha -rich ( not pronouncing the W ) . Being from the MIdlands I obviously don't know if I am correct . I have only been on Manningtree Station once , in the late 70's , early eighties , whilst on a Holiday all Line Railrover Ticket. Changed from the Harwich branch line to a main line express to London at Manningtree.

Thanks for the video Russ , should make things interesting

Another great video. I wish I had more time to master them all, but I'm still working through Machynlleth. Thanks again for all your knowledge. I'm not sure how you remain so calm with all these trains coming and going!

Russ , thanks for giving this a twirl . I did have a chuckle as our mistakes are similar By the way Launceston is Pronounced Lanson ere in Cornwall Wonder if Par station is worth simulating with the turntable at St Blazey Thanks Russ

Thanks Russ for demonstrating how to handle the game. I will try to emulate you practises and limit my use of using the telegraph system. I found it was hit and miss. And l learnt it is best to play the game to only use real time as if you have uncouple a train you miss completing the tasks within the allocated time if you speed up time. Of course in the real world the uncoupling and splitting of wagons would been performed by a shunter staff or goods guard. I assume the staff/train driver would ring the signal box staff to initiate the release of the train on to the main lines.

I have a feeling 'TMO' is trainman operated or train crew operated is the new term. Paul

Hi Russ , only just found this channel and love it I haven’t a clue what I’m doing do it’s a steep learning curve Struggling with heritage Halwill The modern sims are over my head but keep up the good work

Excellent document of the arrival of the box at Swanwick. Nice to see the railway operating in the early days.

Good stuff, Russ.

Very useful. I've got the full version of this but wasn't using the Shunt to command properly and hadn't realised about slowing trains and how to use the describe function. I'll have another go now! Many thanks.

Brilliant idea - well explained.

Thanks Russ for demonstrating the basic process of moving trains. It has clarified for me the sequence to follow to complete the train movements through a section. I have tried to use the same process for the Chippenham heritage series but I have had problems early in the simulation at 5:20 am in dealing with the splitting of wagons from the Down refuge siding and getting them to be moved into the Goods Shed line. Please, can you demonstrate how to start the Chippenham simulation.

Well, I've learnt something for heritage sims!!! clicking on the point or signal number on the diagram changes the point or signal so I don't have to dash up and down the frame levers !!! I can manage the sim easily now...

Russ, As former platform staff, guard and driver out of Tonbridge the box you called Penhurst is actually Penshurst :-)

Very useful and enjoyable. Many thanks.

Very useful indeed, although I'm only just mastering Machynlleth

Russ Many thanks for this most interesting video . You explain everything succinctly.

You might be interested to to know that NR interviewed for a new signaller for the Creswell box last week.

WOW - This is the first time I’ve seen our efforts to move Kettering Station since we moved it over 30 years ago. Many happy memories and great to see so many old faces - some sadly no longer with us. So pleased you made a video of the day Russ.

Thanks for sharing I had spent a few hours in my time as lampman 1979-1985 then as stores supervisor mad 1991-till 6-93 when I went off sick and had to retire on 18-12-93 happy days on BR worked with some grand people male and female

Thank you for sharing. Many signal boxes are now long demolished or out of use due to CTC.

Funny how they never just went to a telephone...or automatic block signaling.

Absolutely fantastic!
