ZX Spectrum Simulator game: Class 87

[MarkWi72]

This is a long shot, but I wondered if anyone back in the day had, or can remember now , about a Train Driving Simulator which went from Euston to Crewe on a class 87. It was text only, as far as I recall, and came out around 1987-88. I wondered if it could also be found on a website somewhere.

I know others were steam - Southern Belle (I had that - 1985 ish) and Evening Star.

IIRC there were about 20 driver simulations produced by them.

I had Master Cutler (St Pancras-Leicester).

Dee-Kay Systems - looks like they published for the BBC Micro and Commodore 64 too. That'll keep me busy at the Derby computer museum!

For those that can't get to a computer museum some of those Dee Kay releases kept at archive.org are playable in a browser.
