Description
Post T Simulation Arnhem 1965 is a very advanced simulation of one of the many original signal panels that were produced by General Railway Signalling (GRS) in Rochester, NY and were widely used in the USA and the railways in the Netherlands.
1965 has been chosen, because at that time in Arnhem a lot of shunting movements took place with the international trains. The Trans Europa Express (TEE) just was running well. This simulation offers you many hours of interesting puzzling around the real world dispatching. It’s easy to start with, but as soon as you gain more experience you can choose more an more expert options to be activated! The simulation is equipped with a very comprehensive Movement Order system, which allows you to reach deep into the shunting issues. But if you run the timetable normally and without delays, the train drivers know exactly what to do for their movement orders and so how to couple/uncouple and turnaround. The makers of the simulation gave themselves lots of effort to create that special ambiance and together with the clicking of the switch indicators and the buzzer of the train announcements including the stereo effects, this works out very well. You will be amazed how many trains did run already in 1965! Especially the night shift had lots to do with the freight trains! For the experts we of course advise to try the rush hour between 6.30 and 9.30 am. And if you just thought: oh that went well... Try it again but add some delays to it...
