Stirling 1953

Description

In this simulation you control all traffic in the Stirling area, from Polmaise Junction in the south to the bridges over the Forth just north of the station. This area was covered by four manual signal boxes: North, Middle and South, plus Polmaise Junction, serving the colliery branch. The simulation is set before nationalisation had brought much in the way of changes; Caledonian and North British classes are still much in evidence. Most services in the area continued largely as they had done for decades past. There were still several goods yards for local traffic. Traffic was marshalled mainly at the Up and Down yards, but some shunting will also be required at Shore Road. Some empties for the collieries will arrive at Stirling and will need to be added to one of the trips to Polmaise Junction. A new feature is the presence of two collieries on the Polmaise branch, for which you will have to handle all the shunting. The shunting of both goods and passenger traffic will keep you very busy at times. Several passenger trains to or from Oban carry a through portion to or from Edinburgh, and there is some parcels traffic. The nature of the traffic changes somewhat on a Saturday, with extras mainly to Aberdeen and the coast, and less goods traffic during the day. Sunday is rather quieter. This simulation has five track screens.
