Hi,

I have been looking through all my "Signs" I have and also on the DLS but still could not find what I am looking for.

Does anyone know if there is a sign for "Stop, Rest, Survive (whatever after/before this)" that is quite common in NSW, I am not sure of other States but I imagine they are the same.

Thanks,

Craig

G'day Craig,

I think I remember seeing them myself down here in Vic, but can not get a clear image of what they look like. I could build it for you, but would need some pictures to work out the dimensions :wave:

Hi Craig,

getoverit bridge (get over it)

It is play on words, "build a bridge and get over it" in other words if you

have a problem with something or someone deal with it, and move on.

My grandson (Ackazacka) likes it.

Hi Bill,

Many thanks for all this work you've done. Yet another 'niche' in the
Trainz armament filled. Between the likes of your good self & say VinnyBarb,
& other like-minded people, several niche areas have been filled :).

Don't they all look great!.
That screenie shows just how busy you've been, & how much variety you've provided in this series.
The upcoming 'extras' will be made good use of too Bill. Wonderful!:)

Tom :)

Hi Tom, sorry I had not thanked you for the offer of help but like I said I could not find a good photo/image of one either. Then Bill was able to come up with one. Some of these signs would also show something about a Rest Stop and how many KM/meters away it was. To do that though would not be easy.

Hi Craig,

Would something like this do?

http://img402.imageshack.us/img402/5571/survivekt5.jpg (http://imageshack.us/?x=my6&myref=http://my.imageshack.us/v_images_old.php)

There are no availible ones but you can either go searching the DL/S and make a look-a-like or start learning GMAX.

WAIT ! I think i remember someone was actually doing Central station ? It was you pete wasn't it ? But this was a few years back:eek:

[flathog]

I have a mock-up Central using what was available at the time inc. part of the tram circuit. Its on my HD somewhere.

Tom

thanks Craig/Bill.

i celebrate the day whatever day it comes. this time i have managed to escaped Coffs Harbour and have for the week relocated to Newcastle to be with family and friends for the big day and a few days down time.

cheers

Ghosty

P.S. and no i dont feel any different just a year older or wiser.

[hbl]

Happy Birthday Ghosty,
I reckon that Coffs Harbour is a nice little place. We stayed there for the first week of the June/July hols (Queensland ones so a week before the bunch of rabble flooded in from NSW), and we went up to to Dorrigo through Bellingen first. Whilst in Bellingen we took a pleasure cruise down the river in kayaks for an hour. Up in Dorrigo we had a look at the railway museum they've been trying to build for a millenium. I got a leaflet while we were up at the station - 7 MILLION BUCKS they've spent on acquiring the stock. Bloody hell, you've got to be utterly devoted to trains to fork out that much dough. But they've got everything - from small tanks right up to the AD60, stem to electric - hell, they've got a bloody complete XPT set up there! The cost of transporting it all would've been astronomical. Hats off to them, guys, they're the real deal.

So happy birthday Ghosty, once again. Hope the day works out for ya!

Cheers,
Hayden Lynch

[ad602000]

probably will, I compltely forgot about it. It's nothing fancy, have to thank Jimbob for getting some really good graphical material for it. The platforms are low detail, but with all the signage and stuff available now you could really tart it up. the only disappointment is that no one has thought of a way to get a clock that is linked to the PC clock so it works

[Geoff_McDougall]

Pete, back in the mists of time (and dare I even mention the "old forum") I seem to remember a lot of discussion about clocks that worked and I am pretty sure that there was a working station platform clock.

EDIT: Search clock rule and you will find a rule that enables animated clocks.

Ausrail8040, great looking screenies. Just wondering what carpark you're using??

Hope you're able to complete this route.

[S301]

hmmm...
Doesn't look quite right for Lilydale, not any sections on the Belgrave line. My next guess would have to be, possibly, Epping area? :s

Zec

[Ausrail8040]

Hi Colhad.... the carpark is made up of "Parking stripe spline" , "JJS Road Stripes Single White" (spline) , "TB NW Narrow RW Finish" (spline - lowered to a height of -0.53 to create the "curb") and a one of my new custom textures captured from the carpark itself...... oh ... and a grass spline next to the curb to mask the "texture overflow" as iI call it.
It was a tedious job creating it! But worth it.

Hmmm, not the Hurstbridge line is it? The only other one would be Glen Waverly :S :P

Well... I'm going to guess at Cranbourne then :P

The couplings would never hold, and I guess the wooden bodies would be a little.. eh? stretched up the front? :D

This is an amazing piece of creation Pete, I would love to see it released. There was a small layout about Sydney and some of Central Station. The track work was very good, though the station was built from various other parts (I still have the route too). I know (and do many) of the other work for the CityRail Project but I have not seen anything about Central Station.

Hey Electro,
Keep it up mate, few of us have the talent to use 3D Max and we need many more to advance our aussie content. Both Alyx and Nic are trying to get some content out for SA too. So things should improve in the future.
When I do a content search, I always look for your name too.

It's been 12 years since the broad gauge line to Victoria was converted to standard gauge, and a small group of volunteers has worked hard to get steam loco 520 up and running on the Standard gauge... Happily, their labour has paid off and today saw the first of hopefully many trips around the SA's standard gauge system by 520 and a string of restored SAR carriages...
The train ran a special, called 'steam through the hills', from Mt Barker Junction to Keswick terminal in Adelaide which was fully packed.

http://www.victrainz.com.au/s301/stuff/images/adelaide/2008-520-sg-run-02.jpg
Further along, the train is seen slowing for Belair station where it will have to wait for a Adelaide bound fright service to clear the section ahead...

Finally entering the suburbs of Adelaide, 520 is seen powering towards the journey's end...

I'm using TRS2006 and CMP does not have any problem with them, only when the content is being processed by the DLS,

Thanks in advance for any help,

Hi Ghosty,
Great screenshots, certainly looks like a very interesting route.
I also wondered where you got that Standard Goods from, I haven't noticed on the Download Station?

look under my kuid 63971 there is a 53 class and 55 class from memory. There is also a 50 class in the pipeline, but the alpha numbers are being difficult.

[Ghostryder]

thanks for the comments i am happy with the result so far, and thanks for pete for pointing out one of the two locos i have used. the other standard goods the one featured in the most recent screenshots is john_sb's and is called NSW D50 by John_sb. its kuid is 60318:5270:1.

Theres been some good screenies posted, but there doesn't seem to be that many people coming here anymore. I haven't seen Raichase, Nat, Deadly, Flathog....etc..
I haven't really been able to post anything due to not spare time. I haven't even posted, let alone open Trainz for months which does really suck.

I shall be able to start stuff again soon, and continue my Glen Lee - Glenfield route.

[Muliebuck]

I just have one question, and that is, whatever happened to a lot of the Aussie route builders - (and others!) - I admit, yours truly has been slack of late, but there hasn't been too many aussie routes released for a while - I'm just hoping that people are working on new masterpieces, and we'll soon enjoy others hard work and effort (especially those who work with Gmax, etc!) :)

[Raichase]

3830, I am working on something and will share screenshots when I get something worth showing. Having been spending a lot of time around Bomaderry recently with the immenent demise of ARG, I have something based loosely around the yard and flour mill there (although the flour mill is nowhere near as grand...)

I always poke my head in, as I always love seeing what those with more talent and more spare time can do with TRS!

[0099]

Zec that first one is 09 correct ? Cutting looks good.

[Raichase]

There's going to be a TRS09? So no Trainz Classics with Australian toys? I'm mostly confused...

[3830]

Yep that is right. (as far as I know)

[Raichase]

Awesome news! Sorry for the OT, I only read this thread and the idea blew my mind. Anyway, back to route building I shall go.

[0099]

What did you do Trent, Pitch a tent up at Bomaderry and stay there for the past few months :p

[lesley]

Those shots are great Zec! They make me want to download the beta (I'm not going to, 2GB is more than half of my available quota :p). One for the NSW guys:

[Raichase]

G'day Tom,

A nice screenie, as usual, but those containers on the flat wagons, which ones are those? I don't think they are the 40ft containers I get when using those wagons?

[lesley]

Nope, they're not. They are cjlear's containers which I think are available on the DLS (If not, I know they're on Razorback) under '40ft Containers' and also '20ft Containers'. Once downloaded, use the + tool in the ? thingy to add them to the list :)

Tom :)

[Raichase]

Tom, you're my hero, thankyou!

On a similar note, does anyone know of any 20ft containers that would be used for bulk flour or other products similar? Such containers have lids on the top like a flour hopper... I know the Hamburg Sud containers used on the Bomaderry trains are of this type, just wondering if any exist for Trainz.

[lesley]

Hmmm not that I know of, but I'm guessing they would be easy to build (if pics could be supplied..) :p

Tom :)

[Deadly]

Quick question for anyone (kinda off topic)...

What would you say is an excessive amount of poly count for a station concourse? Is 5000-7500 pushing it?

I'm trying to get as much detail in as possible for realism whilst keeping it not too excessive with the poly count.

[S301]

Depends on which version. 04/06/TC(1,2,3) should have as low as possibly (much lower than that, if it's just the building). TS2009 should be happy with that though. If you can, try implementing LOD on it :)

As for the first pic... Well, yep. Thats the last developer build of TS2009, as was the second pic...

Zec

[Deadly]

It'd be for 06. I was just checking cause my model will be at 2000 without the roof sections added. They are all curved and cover the entire model. I'll have a toy around with LoD and see what I can do with that, lol.

[0099]

Well if you show us how detailed first...;)

Im happy to download something that "big" if its got good detail not just using up alot of poly's.

[Deadly]

I'll show you what it looks like at the moment, but a single texture makes it look less detailed, lol. For a specialised route though, a station would be a focus point hence being allowed to have more polygons where necessary. Would you agree?

Deadly, that overhead bridge looks exactly like the one I see whenever I go through Ingleburn on the way south!

Edit: Just about to pre-order my copy of TRS2009, do we know what new Aussie stuff will be in it, at this stage?

[Deadly]

I think it does kinda look good now, but when I start texturing it, thats when i'll break it, lol.

@Raichase
I'll be building more things you notice on the trip south, just waiting till I can get some useable photos of the stations. :wave:

[0099]

Trainz89, We ment screenshots of the loco you've made, not what its based off.

Alcoholic, From what i can tell so far there might hopefully be some new stuff the guys at CWS made before taking a break and the world engineers edition will inculde more of the high poly stuff you've seen screens of lately.

At this stage, the only known Aus content for the WBE of TS2009, will be the content that was included in TRS2006, plus the Wallagara station.

World Builder will have the content from TRS2006, plus the german content from '2007', plus the content in TC1/2. There will also be some new content (only known is the 'example track', a tree, a ground texture, some cars, and the UP SD40, a new road, and a hedge spline, more than likely there will be more of course...).
I'm going to hazard a guess that TS2009EE will have the same, plus more, but only with driver in it. Hopefully this will be able to be integrated with 'world builder' so that we can get all of the content...

Zec

[Raichase]

Zec, thanks for that info mate. I always hesitate when buying the first of a product like this incase a later "Aussie" version comes out or something, which contains content that you can't get without buying the same game again...

[S301]

You'll need to buy WBE edition if you want to do more than just drive, since the EE edition will not include surveyor :(

626/726 sit on the Railmotor siding at Blackwell Rail, while 8127/48124 shunt container flats in the yard.

So far the yard has a container siding (room for 16-18 60ft flats) and a flour mill siding with runaround (iirc 12 hoppers fit there?). Trying to keep things small at this stage, easier to manage...

[0099]

Its just one of those routes :p One that id like to keep as i like and not have textures or decent towns and just a general completely un-proto route to play trains on:hehe:

thanks fellas for the info i would like to no cardiff workshops is going to release anymore content in the future as this is the only reason i enjoy the game so much as there locos and content are so realistic an all australian version of trainz would be good trainz 2009 is not going to be the same without any of there new locos and content as those 44s 45s and all the other gear looked great i might give this edition a skip :'(

[Muliebuck]

Quite probably right - it suited what I wanted to do with it, so it got transplanted from where it belongs (just a shame there's no track attatched, but its still a nice bridge)

[0099]

Haha that looks so lost but in the right place if that makes sense:D

[Muliebuck]

There seems to be a problem with these splined trees, hence the 'shine through' effect - I'm trying to find a way to fix this issue, as they're nice trees, and low poly, so that's a bonus as well, but the effect is quite noticeable.

[comtrain]

Thats intentional - its a closed spur line to the industrial area :)

Ha Ha! and so typical. The local council comes along and puts bitumen right over the tracks, so they know a train is never going to come, and yet the motorists still have to stop and give way to trains!
Its a bit like our Council down here. They think they might do some roadwork sometime. Some idiot comes out with witches hats and closes off a lane and puts up 40 k speed signs! 4 weeks later everybody knows their is no works going on, speed creeps back up to 80 kph and the workers arrive the same day the speed camera is set up.
Anyway nice shots :D

Just to prove I am still doing things - A couple of different grain trains entering the flour mill (the actual mill at this stage is just the CWS flour mill with a run around loop...)

Now we just need some Manildra hoppers :P

[Muliebuck]

The brick buildings, are FMA Abandoned bld 2 (kuid:149987:25585) and FMA Abandoned bld 5 (kuid:149987:255888). There's a few in the set, so you might want to grab all of them. They suited what I was trying to do well (just a shame there's no more like that).

Comtrain: Thanks for the comments, they're always gratefully recieved, and yeah - the track is meant to be closed and abandoned, but I just can't get the right look/feel for it (of course, there's nothing stopping someone from driivng a train along that line :P).

Eventually, said spur terminates at the (supposedly) abandoned shell depot, up around the corner. I've posted speedboards of 25km/h max on the 'branch', but it still needs work (as does the whole route). I might release it later as a yard route, for others to use as they see fit, and do what they want with it. At present, I'm not happy with the texturing, but the yards/etc are fairly extensive - got some issues with signalling and such, but hopefully these can be fixed and I'll get some beta-testers to give it the once-over, so I can fix up any niggling issues before its uploaded.

Grasshopper, well done mate :D ! I go train watching on the Warabrook - Maitland stretch whenever I'm down that way and have to say your reproduction of the line is incredibly accurate :D ! Will we see the layout on the DLS one day?


Cheers,

I agree with what others have said, there's some wonderful routes being developed at present, and one can only hope, that they will be released to the DLS when they're done, and not before :)
