Hi All We have recently made some improvements to the VicTrainz forums which will fix the registration issues we hope. You will now be asked a question relating to the Victorian Railways or Trainz (they should be easily googled). This should make accessing 'exclusive' content, beta content...

I would like to say happy new year to everyone in the community. Thank you all for a great trip around the sun, and here's to another trip around the sun! I honestly look forward to seeing what we, as a community, can bring to Trainz on that next trip around the sun :) Regards Zec

Hi All I am sorry to report the passing of James MacIntyre, known by many here as Boobless_Ed. Many will know of his fantastic set of gum trees that were extensively used by the Australian community over the last ~10 years, as well as his cliff spline set and NSW based track and tunnel set. Some...

Hi All I figured, since my screenshots end up scattered from one end of the forums to the other, I'd try a single thread for everything. A bit easier than a regular blog IMO, and more conducive to discussion I think :) This thread will cover work in progress projects that will end up both...

Hi all Due to spamming issues, the VicTrainz forums went over to a 'manual account activation' system last year. Unfortunately, every day we get a good 50-100 spam accounts that attempt to register, and this makes finding legitimate accounts extremely difficult. As such, if your account hasn't...

Hi All I'll be heading down to Tassie tomorrow night for a week, for a photography trip/holiday. As I didn't take any time off over Christmas (I actually worked extra hours over the Christmas break :eek: ), I'm taking a week off this coming week :) I'll be heading around the West Coast mainly...

Hi All Once again, we will have a Trainz On the Road stand at the AMRA (Australian Model Railway Association) exhibition at Caufield racecourse on the 21st and 22nd of August. There will by myself, with TS2010 (showing various custom items) and my HO scale layout (to, somewhat, display a...

Hi All As a few know, I'm currently volunteering at the Menzies Creek Museum on Wednesday nights. The group is made up of mostly younger people, and is relatively small at the moment, although we are growing. I personally have only been involved with the museum since early last year (approx 12...

Hi All This year I will be running a TOTR stall at the Healesville Model Railway exhibition, in Healesville, Victoria. This exhibition is actually in a number of spots around the Healesville township, with the Healesville railway station, Memorial Hall, and Scout Hall being used. I will be in...

Hi All I would like to announce that there will be a VicTrainz modellers group meet on the 11/07/2009. We will be starting at about 10am, and will be in the Hobsons Bay Model Railway Club's 'theater' room. It's possible (and likely) that we will be finishing up at 2pm, as our 'host' for the day...

Hi All I'm pleased to say that VicTrainz will be displaying a model of Healesville for Trainz 2009 at the Healesville exhibition, on the 7th/8th/9th March (next weekend). The main focus will be TS2009 World Builder Edition, and the Healesville 'model' that VicTrainz has made... For more info, go...

Hi All The VicTrainz forums are now back online. Unfortunately, or fortunately (from my point of view, admin wise), we are starting from scratch... This means re-registering on the forum. But it also means I don't have to go through and try and setup permissions, etc in a large list. I just set...

Hi All Not sure if this is the right place. For those of you with Zone Alarm, it's been found that the new windows update 'KB951748' causes Zone Alarm to completely lock the internet. Not really read much about it though. But I do know that it is annoying...

Hi All I've finally finished my website, again... First I would like to thank those who have tested it for me, and VicTrainz for hosting it :) Click on the above image to go to the site :) Please comment on it. Note, that it is best viewed with a resolution of 1024*768. To coincide with the...

Hi All Just a little note to say that I'll be offline for the next few days at least. Had a bad blackout today, and it seems my PSU got fried in the process. My computer turns on, everything spins up, then it just shuts off, then turns on, spins up, repeat steps 3-5 till power in pulled... So...

Hi All I went out to Emerald, in the Dandenong Ranges, in Victoria, Australia today to take photos of ex West Melbourne Gasworks Peckett loco. This loco was taking a special train from Emerald to Gembrook, and this was one of the few chance to see 'Peckett' without the 'Thomas' casing. All...

Hi all I'm currently working on finishing one of my current projects, and I need some opinions. I know there is a lot of debate about what they should look like, and I've been trying to find a sort of mid point between the 'standard' silver tread (Basically a gray scale gradient), and the treads...

Since there are a lot of new GWR BG releases, and there are still some places around the world that use broad gauge (South Australia and Victoria, both in Australia, still have broad gauge in use), I though we should have screenie thread for these slightly more unusual trains :) Anything using...

I'm making a new one, but please if you are going to post, you must post a screenshot... The reason I say this is that all others have had alot of off topic posts... So stay on topic please :) Anyways, my pic (Excuse file name, it's and old one). S301

Tonight, the Z class steam locos were loaded on 4 QB well wagons, and transported from the ZR workshops at Wadalbavale, to Wattle creek where the well wagons had their broad gauge bogies exchanged for standard gauge bogies. I got 3 pics of the train, one at the ZR workshops, one in Wadalbavale...
