We present recent developments in the MERLIN particle tracking simulation code, originally developed at DESY. Their use is illustrated by studies of the LHC collimation system. We make detailed comparisons of our results with those of other codes, and also, where possible, with the data. Different beam optics designs are studied, and the effect of new collimator materials for different upgrade scenarios is predicted.
