Australian controller sim based around Brisbane Queensland

[pga1965]

I was wondering if there might be interest in doing an Australian controller sim based around Brisbane Queensland, from commencement of electrification in brisbane an electronic control centre/ signal cabin was started called "MAYNE", which took over signaling responsibilities from local signallers(mainly station mastersas the electrification was rolled out. the complete brisbane urban network was under this control centre by the end of 1986. I saw the panel once in mid 1986, and it apeared to be similar to the "Sp Dr S 60" used in the bonn similation.

The network covered included 7 suburban lines, 2 dual gauge freight lines, 2 link lines, 1 central depot (MAYNE depot), 3 medium out depots, 3 small out depots, 5 freight yards, and various freight sidings, while panel was run by signalman, maxium speed was 100kph elec, 80kph del, with one exception of 140kph- intercity electrics (new line, abt 1996, abt 25km single). suburban traffic covered 185 corridor km (most of this distance was double track, abt 40km sinlge line, 10km triple, and 10km quad. total track km roughly 400km narrow gauge, and abt 45km dual gauge(ng/sg). since abt 1996 the panel was decommisioned, and is now just run by controllers on pc's. guess this is the way right round the world!!!!

this panel covered 130 stations. it was run by about 15-20 signalmen per shift.
