Editing SimSig:Add-on timetables

{{tocright}}
To help keep our [[SS:S|SimSig Sessions]] varied and enjoyable, we often create add-ons for various simulations which can be overlaid on top of a base timetable. Generally, these will follow one train, such as a railtour or test train, over each simulation available for the path, and are able to be loaded either standalone or as part of a chain. Each add-on will be fully tested to ensure correct functionality as an individual train (and, where a train is a real-life working, that it runs as closely as possible to the route taken in reality), however no guarantees are made that the trains will be 'without conflict' when loaded into a base timetable - after all, that's part of the fun!

You're welcome to download and play our add-on timetables with your own sims, but if you share them on please ensure you leave the copyright notice and link to our [[SS:H|SimSig Home]] page intact. We also ask that if others are joining your games using our add-ons that you acknowledge the source.

This page will list add-ons that have been created, with a brief overview of the train(s), route(s), simulations available and any other relevant information.

==The Last Chance...?==
{{main|SimSig:Add-on timetables/The Last Chance...?|l1=The Last Chance...?}}
This add-on is of [[The Last Chance...?]] railtour, which operated from [[Finsbury Park]] to [[Barnetby]], [[Immingham Docks]] and [[Stocksbridge Works]] on 8 April 2023. Operated by [[DB Cargo]] and promoted by [[UK Railtours]], the train used [[class 90]], [[class 60]] and [[class 66]] locomotives and twelve [[mark 1]] or [[mark 2]] carriages.

===Notes===
*Some creative license is used for light locomotive shunts around Doncaster for ease of use. It is not recommended to load Doncaster Station after 0915 unless you are able to manually enter a single class 90 and arrange it to join 1Z24. All other simulations will support loading at any time.

===Known bugs===
*On Kings Cross, 1Z24 cannot be timetabled via Welwyn Garden City Through Siding through to sim limitations. The train will accept this route if offered, however.

==The Chopper Topper Returns==
{{main|SimSig:Add-on timetables/The Chopper Topper Returns|l1=The Chopper Topper Returns}}
This add-on is of [[The Chopper Topper Returns]] railtour, which operated around the West Midlands on 2 July 2022. Operated by [[SLC Operations]] and promoted by [[Pathfinder Railtours]], the train used four [[class 20]] locomotives and nine [[mark 1]] carriages.

==The Friday Charter==
{{main|SimSig:Add-on timetables/The Friday Charter|l1=The Friday Charter}}
This add-on is of [[The Friday Charter]] services, which operated between [[Crewe]], [[London Euston]] and [[Manchester Piccadilly]] on most Fridays between 19 August and 30 September 2022. Operated by [[Locomotive Services]] under their [[InterCity (Locomotive Services)|InterCity]] brand, the train used either a [[class 87]] or [[class 90]] locomotive, nine [[mark 3]] carriages and a [[Driving Van Trailer]]. Each run is simulated, with a specific working randomly selected when the first train enters.

==Art Deco Train Journey==
{{main|SimSig:Add-on timetables/Art Deco Train Journey|l1=Art Deco Train Journey}}
This add-on is of the [[Art Deco Train Journey|Art Deco Train Journies]] which operated on the [[Metropolitan line]] between [[Amersham]] and [[Watford]] or [[Harrow-on-the-Hill]] on 3 and 4 September 2022. Operated for the [[London Transport Museum]] by [[London Underground]], the train used LUL's preserved [[1938 stock]] unit. Both days are simulated separately; which runs will be automatically chosen at random shortly before the train enters.

==The Pines Express==
{{main|SimSig:Add-on timetables/The Pines Express|l1=}}
This add-on is of [[The Pines Express]] [[HST]] farewell railtour, which operated from [[Leeds]] to [[Swanage]] and return on 26 September 2023 to commemorate the withdrawal of HSTs from [[CrossCountry]]. Operated by CrossCountry and promoted by [[Modern Railways]] and the [[Branchline Society]], the train used 'celebrity' [[class 43]] locomotives [[43007]] and [[43008]], along with a specially-lengthened rake of [[mark 3]] carriages.

This add-on is of [[The 5:08 Sunset]] railtour on 29 October 2023 to commemorate the impending withdrawal of the [[class 508]] electric multiple units from [[Merseyrail]]. The trip visited the vast majority of the Merseyrail network, including a number of unusual platforms, crossovers, sidings and more. Operated by Merseyrail and promoted by the [[Branchline Society]], the train used class 508 units [[508 139]] and [[508 141]].

===Notes===
*[[Bidston]] stabling siding (<code>BIDSTON STAB SDG</code>) is shorter than the train (90m vs 120m) - this is not a bug. The back of the train fouled the running line, so care should be taken to regulate services as required. The driver will call up for permission to proceed prior to departing the siding, as the train will be standing beyond the shunt signal. Ensure you have secured points as necessary before routing the train ''into'' the siding - in reality the [[B:G#M|MOM]] would be involved in this process.
