SIAMulations : Message: RE: [SIAMulations] Exeter

Having spent my childhood in Exeter in the 1950s and 60s (childhood was longer in those days) I would have thought LE movements to St Davids would be infrequent, only covering the bankers and the occasional engine for the route knowledge trips via the GWR line.

Perhaps to make it really interesting you could have a turntable failure with engines having to travel to the other shed to turn.

Regards

Peter Lovell

11 Track screens sounds fun. I find half the trouble in Carlisle is light engine movements from the sheds, which isnt going to be so much of an issue in Exeter...
