Hi Pete,

This unique loco has some interesting detail; evidenced by the candle-wax staining & oil smears (midnight oil etc). Maybe some day you could be a politician. All that "midnight oil" burning etc it must have taken to produce such a fine piece of craftsmanship. :D

ok so you cheated & cleaned off most of the candle-wax & oil stains, but I know they're there!. :hehe:

I have always saved only QR screenies for my desktop pics. The current one is one of Kentith's Shorncliffe line. Davido, I must say with the quality of yours recently I am seriously torn to defecting down south. Those V set progress shots are beautiful. Could just imagine driving one of those through that gorgeous countryside, admiring the view as I clacked along. Wonderful.

[Raichase]

Pete, that's looking bloody spectacular!

Tom, very impressive work on your "photo screenshots", you certainly seem to get the right effect, especially with that sepia toned pic with the steamer.

Cook, that Southern Cross (?) station scene is almost real mate, looks amazing.

I'm with Zec...I still prefer the 38 class, with a V-set passing it, at the bottom of a valley, with a C17, DD17, BB18 1/4 and an AC16 on a narrowgauge railway next door...
Now...where have I see that before...wouldn't be Zig Zag Railway...:o

Honestly though, there are some great models in the works, the 38's, V-set, 422, Z13, as well as various other bits and bobs of drool worthy ness that I don't know the class of since they are from foreign regions...;)

[nicke]

A couple fo questions for Ausrail8040.

Will you be releasing your Cranborne station ?
Could you release the plaform bulding and canopy separately?
They are first class and have applications in other configureations too.

Your work is very exciting.
Cheers
NickE

[countrylink01]

well i like the v set, 38 class, 82, 90 class.

[Ausrail8040]

Hi there Nicke .... yes...I shall be uploading these (and other items) to the DLS tonight I feel :)
So give it a couple days (I think?) ...and you should be able to download them.
The station building and the canopy are indeed 2 separate items.... so no worries there for you to use the canopy by itself.
Thanks for the kind words....
Here's 2 more items I made today.....

You wouldn't be able to retro too far back Dreddy, about the early 90s would be the limit. Bronco 1720s didn't start appearing till early 90s.:)

The screens were taken in a test I had to resize the 1700/1720 classes I felt they were not high enough compared to other locos.
I thought I would run the Bronco as there seems to be more Bronco then Blue fans..........some people have no taste!!

"The late 1980’s saw the launch of the luxury train the “Queenslander” and the introduction of maroon and yellow colours. 1767 along with a 90 tonne locomotive were repainted into a scheme of maroon and yellow diagonal lines running the length of the locomotive. A feature of the scheme was a white 1970 style QR logo painted in a small, maroon box position in one of the yellow lines."



the first DOO equipped 1720 in boring Bronco livery appeared in service in 1991.

Hey mate,

Glad to see your continuing to work on your Cranbourne route.. and thankyou so much for deciding to release some of your awesome buildings early.. :)

How's your route coming along..? Are you just planning to go as far as Dandenong..?

.. SURELY there is some talented modeller out there who would consider making a hitachi or comeng to complement this route..? Seeing as the awesome Xtrap model is a tad out of place on that line.. There's so much victorian rollingstock out there but we only have one spark made by a guy overseas and somewhat edited etc here.. Believe me if i had the time and if i had of learnt how to make them years ago i would have done the entire fleet by now.

.. its the same in Model Railways, seems NO ONE anywhere has any genuine interest in making sparks into models in either format.

[S301]

Actually, I think you've got some wrong info on both sides. There is a comeng 'in the works' by me (although not a priority project at the moment). There is also a hitachi 'in the works' by another user (again, not priority as he currently has real life commitments). They will get here eventually...

As for models. There are at least 2 hitachi's being made, possibly 3... There is also at least one comeng being made. Neither released yet, but they are being done. That said, they aint cheap either...

Myself, my main interest is in earlier stuff, e.g. the taits and doggies...

If you really want a comeng, I will work on it... But it would most likely end up being payware, as I really have no true interest in it. At least not at the moment.

[Ausrail8040]

P Dacey, I am aiming at getting the line done to Dandenong..... eventually :) Stage 1 of the project (Cranbourne to Merinda Park) is almost done.
The second stage will be a challenge.... especially the station complex at Dandenong..... but I feel well up to the overall task (**Gulp**).
Many custom buildings and backdrops will need to be made... so stage 2 WILL take a while to complete.
I'm actually just about to start organizing the "Google satalite tiles" (for scenery placement) for stage 2....and work will commence as soon as stage 1 is released to the DLS.
I uploaded some of my content yesterday, so look out for them in the coming week. As these are my first creations, they might not be optimized the best ... polly wise (only 1 or 2 items come to mind) .....
But in saying that, I certainly have no issue running the route at very playable frames on my PC (intel dual core - 2.4Ghz (overclocked), Nvidia GTX260 (Overclocked), 4 gig Kingston HyperX ram.... which I think is a medium to high spec PC at the moment.
Zec, I would happily pay for a "payware" Comeng, Seimens or any melbourne suburban set :) ..... no pressure though ;)

Cheers!
Ausrail.

All we need now is someone to do the Yass tramway and CCA car :)

BTW - Check your numbers Pete - Not all the CC's lasted long enough to get 13xx numbers - safe bets are 1301/07/08/13 : the first three are still extant, and 1313 was photographed during the late 50's on yass tramway duties

Zec, I'd definately pay for any melbourne suburban set if the quality of it was up there with that Xtrap..!! :)

Also thanks for letting me know about the models etc, If they're not talked about much its easy to presume nothing is happening.. its just beyond me how almost every type of model has been lovingly created by people with exceptional skills etc, yet we all seem to lack a large route variety and anything modern/ electric.. (sparks, E's, L's etc..) I think all the work you have all done is fascinating and amazing.. makes the trainz experience for those of us who either just didnt have time to learn or couldnt be bothered etc enjoy trainz so much more..! so thankyou to all of you..!!

Ausrail, Mate your work so far is the best I have ever seen to date..! Its great to see someone take an interest in modern day modelling for a change..!! :D I'd help you in any way if i could, but i never took the time to learn how to create content etc..! ( i choose to work 60+ hrs a week)

ya 1301 was painted green during the 1960's for vintage train duties - have just posted some Pics for you now http://www.pbase.com/stanb/historic

actually if they were ever otherwise green, then it would have been very early on - when they were still fitted with the original round top boilers

1301 rescues the MHG seen with 5014 earlier, unfortunately for the crew of the standard goods, the old, soon to be abandoned branch wasn't quite up to the task of bearing such a weight, luckily 1301 was available to save the day, or at least the MHG.

One must wonder what ever happened to 5014, perhaps she is still sitting in the dirt where she split the rails all those years ago...:p

Davido: Can I make a small request in regards to the livery on the 422.

From memory, not all of the locomotives in standard tuscan had the 'L7' painted on, would it be too much to ask to have the option of the Tuscan paint scheme with and without the symbol? :)

Mate! That layout is of a quality I've not seen in ages! Few layouts can match that level of quality! Fortunately,all the layouts and creators I can think of are Aussies!

That's an amazing scene mate.

Although, as a hint, try low numbers for the 22 Class - 2201-2216 or so :). Some of them (such as 2201) reflect their real life names.

[Raichase]

Stuff me, then David comes in with his own screenies! Love those 44 Class, and is that a new station building I see, or an addition to the current model? I think I spy a new goods shed too!

Strike!

[NR_121]

That my friend is excusable...for future reference however:

I'm partial to the second last shot Axe....it's a ripper.

As Trent said....AMAZING!

David - How much has been completed? Knowing Nats attention to detail, I can imagine he's not completed a section or two? The bits that we've seen are up to his usual standards, but he wouldn't be showing us the unfinished bits, now would he?

Trent,
It's pretty close to finished. Wallangarra Station isn't finished.
The copy I'm showing is a beta of what would have been in TC4

Cheers
David

[thebigman]

Nice shots there Axe :D !

And Dave, You never fail to impress :D! In particular the red terror 44 class, the texturing detail with the soot on the roof looks brilliant. Also the 422's are looking bloody excellent as well! :mop: Keep it up!

Actually I never really liked how the 48's turned out. I couldn't seem to get the look of them right.
But they're not one of my favourites anyway :p

You could always mix the two together and get...some 92's...:o:udrool:

P.S. Trent and Scott, I should have the containers up for beta at VT by tonight (pictures on Page 341 of this thread).

Yeah. They were built to run in TC3 so should run in 09.
If I make them 06 compatible they should run in everything later than 06.

Yes Tom their were captive trains I believe in the L class days. However I have seen plenty of red GY / RY 's loaded with briquettes too. In earlier days not all GY's were grain proofed. and were used for general cargoes

amazing screenies as always guys :D, i havent been on lately because of my monthly broadband running out, i can barely load a web page if it runs out.
i get 12gb of internet per month, and ive used it all.
anyway, ill be posting some pics again on the 1st :D

without the internet, its given me time to create a new route.
more info soon :D

cheers,
burntruss.

[lenice]

Marty,
Hope that last post is not permanent one:eek:, only for a short while. You were the first contact I had with the local community (Trainz that is ) and as such, you left a great mark. I remember our meet at Roma Street parklands for the bridge project. I was very taken with your eye for detail and hoped to be able to emulate that myself. Anyway, before this starts sounding too mushy and sentimental, I hope we will see you back after a little "holiday" with more great QR and Australian content to build.
Regards

Glen :wave: :(

Departing Wattle Creek:




Hi,

To make the reply shorter, I cut the pics.

You have a great route there. Can I please make one suggestion?

I notice you have what appears to be a ground frame operated by levers. It seems to go for quite some distance. My question is.....who is going to be the superman to operate the frame over that distance.

Apart from that concern, I do like your route.

Pete :wave:

[Raichase]

Thanks Pete,

I'm not sure, I've just modified the Wattle Creek to Wadalbavale route that came with 06/09, so I just carried on the style of the layout before it. I might go ahead and install some point motors ;).

Just a quick question, I noticed a few people with the explorers and 620/720 rail cars in 2009. Well when I tried to install them they aren't working for me, It says they're there and in railwayrd they exist, but when you click on them you just get an empty track. This also applies to the endeavours as well. Any suggestions?

[psycho_aussie]

Sounds a bit like faulty assets Spooney. Not exactly sure how they can show up in Railyard, but not in Surveyor...

Spooney, for 620-720, have a look at the cab asset. It's a shell cab and has heaps of dependencies that aren't apparent when committing the railcar itself.
As for the Endeavour/Xplorer, check that you have the enginesound

[thebigman]

Ausrail, great work on the Vinnies store :D

Spooney, if you run TS2009 in compatibility mode the Endeavours/Xplorers/620/720's should all work fine, even though CM says they're faulty :)

Here are a few shots from my first layout. Hopefully to be put on the DLS soon. It is a fictional Australian layout using some of the U-Make modules. Thanks heaps to eso and the others who make these.
http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w184/flash1771/Stationstop.jpg
LF01 does a stop at the station platform before reversing into the Preston North yard. Yes, I let Alastair drive. If anyone is going to find faults then he's the man.

http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w184/flash1771/FuelDepot.jpg

LF01 Loco 1512 has a fuel stop at Preston Depot ready to continue its report tour.

http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w184/flash1771/Reportingin.jpg

Crew on LF01 pull the loco up near the Admin building at Preston Depot to report in to the Area Supervisor on track conditions.

http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w184/flash1771/Headingout.jpg

LF01 moves over the road crossing east of the station platform to cross to the mainline and into South Yard.
I am hopeful of finding out when the tour loco is running to be able to get more pics. Will have to keep the fingers crossed for the moment and keep my ear to the radio scanner.

Spooney, DavidO and others,

For anyone having problems getting DavidO locos and rolling stock working in TS2009 native mode. I got all working by using PEV's excellent programs, Texture to TGA(fixes texture.txt problems) and PM2IM which I used the IM part that fixed up the 82 class and MHG brake van that had texture.txt files that could not be loaded thus kept these two as red flagged. All items work properly in native mode(I was stumped with these two for ages until I gave it a try). This method also fixed up vinnybarbs Indian Pacific cars(bogey) and his aussie buildings. Doesn't work with ad602000 rolling stock.
Thank you to PEV for his efforts in finding a work around for TS2009 errors stopping good items from working.

Dreddman, You get used to the Wide Screen effect eventually cept it still does look funny looking " head on " at a loco:)

[flathog]

Regarding the wide screen, might need to change the resolution.

Hi Davio,.. I'm having another slight problem with your NR Class,.. Content manager says that nr_class_numbers kuid:60723:70004 can't be found on the DLS,.. it also says that the asset size is 4gig.... unlikely...

Hi Spoona,.....You're not having trouble with the NR class....you're having trouble with content manager and the DLS. :D
I just checked and 60723:70004 is there as well as the update 60723:70004:1.
If you follow the Download Station link at the top of this page and seach for the kuid in TRS2004 stuff you'll find them.

Bit of a dilemma on the section of the CityRail network area i'm trying to build. I can't quite figure out which track I want to use, and or which would fit best. Much of the 25 odd kilometres or so (Macarthur - Cabramatta) on the down is using A, whilst the up is using C. I've discovered B since installing 2006 and have made a slight alteration to the colour.

Anyone have any thoughts of what they thing would look best? Also, it'd be nice to know what track other users are using for their sections of the Cityrail network.

[jpereira]

Is it possible to get junctions with monobloc tracks (if you want to do something realistic)?

I think you should use bibloc or wood tracks fos juntcions.

Ha Ha
Tom I had to cop it both ways as a Wodonga f/man! Out of Dynon hostler end first over to Spencer Street Sit on the flyover awaiting the SOP shunt sit on the cars in 2A road and wait for the Motor rail and shunt No 1 plat when clear. Then on arrival at Albury hang around for NSW shunters, who always loved to block us in loco forcing us into long hours. If we already had long hours hostlers end back to Wodonga, after blocking main line and forcing signalman to send us back to South end. The South end Signalmen were gentlemen and proud signallers, as they dealt with Victoria all the time. Our signalmen could give them hell when the Albury pilot worked on the Victoria side.
Running the SOP or the Aurora hostlers end to Albury and Hostlers end back to Dynon. if relief was not available.
Did that for my first 5 years on job. No wonder I am deaf!
Went to a fortune teller once to humour my wife :hehe: This gypsy woman wanted to read the bumps on my head. Wife said go ahead! She got to the back of my head and said "Oh you are a train driver! You will have a long life, retire and move to the Country!"
As I was driving home I wondered how she could know about me driving trains!! But of course when you spent lots of time hostler end first in a S Class, you always had bumps on your head The Dynamic fans were so low you had to sit forward because your head would be hitting the steel frame on every bump in the track :hehe:
The odd controller in the hostler end was apparently recovered from the St Kilda Railways trams as they were scrapped.They were a much smaller controller than those used in the W Class MMTB trams. Their self lapping brake valves found their way into Y Class Diesels as part of the magnificent VR workaround when the State Government continually unfunded the Railways. Read the history of the Y class. THe Gov wanted the Railways to scrap steam. A bare minimum of 75 Y Class did the job. However the initial order was only 25 then 50 and 25 more were built when the VR recycycled Steamengine brake valves, tram self lappers, and ERD Electric train bogies, air cylinders and electricals to build one of the best engines VR ever owned.

Well, I have done the track between Ipswich and Grandchester and about to start the little liverpool range over to Laidley.
I havent put many buildings in due to just getting the track done first.
I have some problems, I dont know how to make grades like for exp 1in58 and also how to make a good tunnel without it bender to sharpe, screen shots to come.

I would to say a very special thanks to Mark for letting me use his 2000 class Railmotors and his other rollingstock, they fit the part on the Toowoomba line

am dry now. had water trying to force its way through the front door but held it at bay. its the second flood in 6 weeks. at one point we had 150-200mm's fall in 60 minutes for a total of around 600mm for 12 hours.

Ghosty,

Seeing those photos reminded me of the June long weekend 2 years ago I think when I spent the weekend in Newcastle at my parents and half of the Hunter was under water and blacked out.

Glad to hear that all is okay.

Do you know if the rail line is still cut.

Regards,
Warren.

[Ghostryder]

the line was cleared and returned to service last night. seems there was track damage north of coffs harbour, WB3 Steel freight ran into trouble on tuesday it made grafton but not without incident. everythings running late even the worm. so i guess you can say its business as normal. i just hope we can dry out properly this time, hopefully it wil be several weeks of dry conditions to allow soggy harbour to dry out.

I haven't managed to play with Ad602000's LCH/CCH's yet - I hope he does the same with the private owner's (Alphbet's) as well - would be nice (most of the shots I have of the SMR seem to be using PO's rather than govt (LCH/CCH) hoppers.

Interestingly enough when the 1992 bushfires hit Richmond main colliery, it was the govt hoppers that seem most flamable - they lost a couple of CCH's ( ignited as soon as an ember or flame went close) but the non airs only recievd minimal damage ( mostly burned bottom doors)

BTW there are a few shots of the SMR uploaded on my pbase site - I've also plenty others mainly from 3246's farewell tour (to Cessnock) and a tour in 1968 to Hepburn

Nice screen shots guy's. Really Cool.

Congratulations to Zec on his new Part-Time/Full-Time job, hope it all works out well.

I am not going to say what it is in case he does not want people to know, but soon others will know too :hehe: :hehe: :hehe:

thanks guys

your praise is much appreciated, nice to see you like my work and that of axe.
i made the sections to chill out after cleaning up around my place after the flooding. i am very pleased with the outcome. the section only started to test out the look in 09. its not a long or large section. i may in time add to it and make a SMR based map. seeing as we have the 10 class about and now have the hoppers as well.

cheers

[Spooney]

has a definite SMR feel to it Ghosty - :)

That is exactly what I thought as well... that level crossing looks almost like the one at Kearsley which used to be double track but is only single now,.. although as I recall they have now ripped up the second line across the road, but it did look like that for some years

[Ghostryder]

Spooney

the test section features inspiration from Caledonia and Neath. the station is based around Caledonia and the crossing was taken from pictures at Neath.

Hi Scott,

Glad you survived ok. the water stopped rising here about 30millimetres below the first brick here. ie about 30 mm below the cement floor slab of the flats!

[stanb]

that would be good to make, the Neath pub Ghosty,Stan and Dennis alphabet soup is in the works, plus something else used on the SMR

hmmm.... something else used on the SMR... 29 class p'rhaps.. (that wouldn't be hard since its basically a 30 class)... perhaps the tulloch railcars....

or perhaps something simple - a SMR CHG (basically a NSWGR CHG with different lettering)?

or have you gone crazy with non airs and are trying to mimick the endless variety of them ... S's (6 ton), M's (8ton), L's (10ton) & LL's (12ton's) , wooden framed ones..., steel framed ones, ones with brake levers.. ones with brake wheels...even a couple with air brakes (Muswellbrook?) ... dont even start on axle boxes and about 40 or 50 different collieries for the reskinners! ya - you could go mad with them ( I had a friend some years ago who used to work at goninans - would spend his lunchtime's photocopying blue prints - I think we got about 30 different varieties from him .. and that was only one manufacturer! )


anyways am looking forward to the industry enable non airs.. and of course your mystery creation :)

[Spooney]

Well, you asked for it.. Over the last four weeks or so I have been working on this.. it is a ficticious NSW themed route,.. so far it has 5 stations, a coal mine, power station and an oil refinery.

Looking at some of the stuff produced by messors axe and davido they seem to pale in comparison, but here we go anyway!
http://home.spin.net.au/spooney/01.jpg

3813 takes a tourist train from the Cranton Heritage Centre southwards toward Amandavale.

http://home.spin.net.au/spooney/02.jpg

Continuing southwards over Cranton gorge.

http://home.spin.net.au/spooney/04.jpg

Opposite Campbell Hamlet station, a tourist town full of pottery shops and cafes.

http://home.spin.net.au/spooney/05.jpg

Chugging along, about to join the Main Northern line.

http://home.spin.net.au/spooney/06.jpg

Meanwhile a 442 and two 48's haul some petrochemicals through Amandavale yard and on to the oil refinery.

http://home.spin.net.au/spooney/07.jpg

Heading south away from Amandavale crossing over to head to the oil refinery.

http://home.spin.net.au/spooney/08.jpg

Meanwhile another 442 brings the passengers North from the city..

http://home.spin.net.au/spooney/09.jpg

...and 9009 leads another two 90's over a warren truss heading away from Alexander Hills Coal Mine.

http://home.spin.net.au/spooney/10.jpg

The 442 heads north after crossing the Amandavale wetlands.

http://home.spin.net.au/spooney/11.jpg

and rolls into Amandavale station.

Is it just me or are there no cars on my roads? How does one do this??

blueprints, did you say blueprints:mop::mop::mop:. No, you hit it on the head, the 15 class, least thats what it is called in the book I'm reading "coals to new castle". I've often looked at that railmotor, pity there are no drawings or plans around.

peteVery nice steam train, but I would like to know how do you use your blue print on Gmax
Matt

[ad602000]

you scan it, select the area(crop) you want to use in psp or photoshop or like, then you create a plane in gmax of the right height by length dimensions and then apply the blueprint you prepared to the plane and basically build the object (building, train etc ) around the blueprint, you may have a blueprint or drawing that gives end and top vies as well, so you apply them to different planes as above and place them in the right axis. hope that helps

Hey dreddy, :wave:

Actually I was wondering something along those lines too :D How only a few people are actually posting screenies.
It seems like, we have less than a dozen posters since 2009 came out, and very few using 2009. However having said that, the quality of the posts are extraordinary!

I am looking forward to some South Australian content and some West Australian stuff.

Perhaps some of our busy content creators might spend some time building some more encouragement for our "left out States" A small amount of encouragement 5 years ago, from NSW and USA, led to at least another dozen Victorian content creators building stuff for us :hehe:

As I have rebuilt Trainz Planz anyone who has Tasmanian, South Australian or West Australian good drawings should send them to me so I can post them up for others to get enthused about too. (Trainz Planz can be accessed by clicking on the sig. below)

the SMR 15 is starting to look good there Pete. BTW the main feature that identified the 15's from a standard NSWGR 30 calss was teh addition of some additional air resevoirs on the front foot plate - aparently the air brakes needed some help with non- braked trains. its just visible in this shot http://www.pbase.com/image/110945994 If my memory serves me right these were also fitted to 3013 when it was bought by Hepburn colliery (i'll take a look later _ I've a nice stduy of 3013 at hexham somewhere) and I may have some shots of SMR15 which shows it too

PS - found & posted another shot for you.. BTW the 15's did not have electric lights either

Ive given up with trainz now, I can't be stuffed playing it much anymore :)
But i still annoy around the forums...

[ad602000]

yes I was looking at those, they also fitted that to a 30 class they borrowed 3013 I think, but I will certainly include that,
cheers
pete

EDIT tanks added

what do you mean given up!!!! I've spent weeks tracking down the mesh for the 40class and now you're giving up:eek:

[stanb]

EDIT tanks added


3013 was actually bought by Hepburn colliery in 1967 to replace an unsuccessful import ( a stephenson's machine imported in 1955) . When Hepburn closed it was then transfered to the RVR at Hexham and ultimatley into private presvervation. Like the SMR 15's ( and the stephenson engine) it was fitted with two extra air reservoirs on the footplate either side of the smokebox to provide sufficient braking when running non air trains

The SMR' 15 class was introduced in 1912 with the arrival of numbers 15 & 16. a third, numer 29 was introduced in 1929. Intended for local passenger trains they replaced some earlier types including an ex NSWGR CC (Z13 ) class. The SMR lost its passenger cars to a carriage shed fire, and handed the Cessnock passenger services to the NSWGR who maintained these until the early 60's (it might be noted that a couple of 30 class tanks were modified with extended bunkers and had their boiler pressure raised to 180psi for the cessnock run). When the NSWGR ceased this operation, the SMR introduced a railcar service, but this service was abandoned after a couple of years.

In the meantime the 15's soldiered on, being the primary power for the local pickup good services, and assisting the 10's on the coal runs until the mid 60's when they too were set aside. one (# 16) was stripped of its boiler fairly early on, and its remains, togther with 15 and 29 were scrapped in 1973

Hi all,

A bit of an update on the MGFH. Progress has been a bit slow due to my busy life outside of trainz :p !

http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/483/mgfhscreen2.jpg


Seeing how things go, I might have a go at animated roof and dumping hatches, although I'm not sure which way the hatches operate as I've never actually seen the hoppers loading/unloading in real life :confused: !


Cheers,


Matt :)

ok, tanks fitted on the 15 class, I have applied superscript to the 30 class for the running numbers and have limited this to the class members that were tank locos throughout their service life, so you will be able to place in excess of 60 locos on a route without a duplicate.

Anthony, no I haven't sent it yet but will tonight. I only managed to find it yesterday.
