Aint an MHG

If it's not an MHG my only other guess would be either a GHG, or PHG. It doesn't look like anything else.

Actually it is Lambley Rail, if you read about Wadalbavale Line you'll find that Lambley is some distance away from Lambley Rail. The original town of Lambley (Pop. 100) has now been overpopulated by Lambley Rail due to the convenience of rail services.

Just being extra picky. :p

The 48 is Davido's, just a simple logo reskin.
The GM/1800 is by Pigeon (I think).
The hoppers are a Manildra MGFH reskin of Davido's NGXH (I think that's the coding - aqua coloured) wheat hopper. (Just a "deal with what you've got" sort of idea until the real thing is made.)

The blue on the hoppers isn't quite right yet. Still too 'purple', and I can't seem to work out what Davido has used for the 'end' textures. The only thing I can guess is that it wraps around or shares the side textures, because I can't get the ends blue yet. :'(

Some of the ARG stuff on the DLS is easier to find under 'ASR'. I think that's where I found the GM/1800.

When I get the textures right for the MGFH I'll send them to you Rai. All you'll have to do is clone the original hopper in CMP and add new textures, then Commit.

You might want to ask Davido before you post any more pics let alone send the file out....:p We don't need any copyright issues in TRS as well as MSTS....

If your wondering what the issue was basically, someone released a route made by someone else along with some reskinned trains/carriages but not public release just BETA release and certain members then decided to stop it happening to them they would remove their content.

Something I noticed when I was in Nowra a few years back was that at the Manildra Mill there were a group of AN hoppers along with the MGFH's. Does anyone know what they were, and if anyone has created them for Trainz? They seemed fairly common on the flour trains when ARG was taking over the run. Something also prototypical about that run is that quite often there would be a mix of loaded hoppers and empty container wagons (empty containers on them) heading to the coast, and visa-versa on the way back.

As to the 81, I realise it's incorrect, I just plopped it down and sent it running, mostly as something else to include on the layout while I was testing the ARG GM and the 830. Both exceptional models, I might add, thanks for the heads up.

Still, I wouldn't mind doing something similar to the Main South, a non-electrified line that takes Endevour services.

Releasing anyone elses content in any way shape or form (re-texturing etc) is a big no-no and actually breaches copyright law. ALWAYS read the asset's license, ask the creator for permission (sending exact details of your intentions - and sending the asset helps), and abide with the creator's wishes, even if he says no.

A great way to get off-side with the community is to release someone elses content.

they come with dem data and represent road, rail and waterways

[Ghostryder]

as Petes already pointed out they come with dem data and represent road, rail and waterways and generally but not always appear on maps that are designed to recreate an actual location. Those lines make creating routes like Ipswich much easier. of course when the routes complete those lines will be removed.

at present any pictures i post of the Ipswich line have been listed as a work in progress and are basically shown as progress reports on the 45km line.

What is Dem Data?

[S301]

http://zecrail.railpage.org.au/stuff/screenshots/t-tait_barfold.jpg

Zec

[S301]

DEM data is real world height data, which is then put into a 'blank' TRS map to give you a reasonable representation of a real location's geography (Mountains, valleys, that sort of thing). I'm pretty sure the program you use to do this, is also used to put the lines onto a map. I think it's called 'TransDEM'.

It's one of my cloned 'Cardiff Workshop' MHG's. Unfortunately due to the risk of Cardiff's excellent reputation being tarnished by ameture re-skinners I am not allowed to release my skins to the public.

We would appreciate you not posting screenshots of our content that has been modified in any way - this breaches copyright and our license. You may reskin any asset you wish, as long as it remains on your computer, to be used and viewed by yourself (as per standard copyright laws).

For us to allow you to release a reskin of any of our assets would mean that the asset no longer remains the work of Cardiff Workshops and that goes against our policy. It has nothing to do with the quality of the reskin - if we were approached by the community's most skilled re-skinner we would have the same reply.

We have never had an issue like this until now - several persons have taken the time to request permission to post screenshots of our wagons that they have reskinned and we have politely said no and explained our position and they have gracefully accepted our stance.

JAMEZ001, yesterday while I was out photting the friday flour run south, I did get a look at the ex AN hoppers you mentioned earlier. Some of them had been painted in a mustard colour (ie not orange like the locos, but not yellow like the AN stripe on the green hoppers) and took some photos, which I will clean up and upload to my Flickr! account should anyone know what they are, and be able to locate a model of them for TRS (or choose to make one).

Edit: They were AHHF hoppers. I found some photo's the I took, but I don't have a scanner.

Second AN hopper in the consist. (I think)

[ad602000]

are they the same as vline jqf hoppers

[JAMEZ001]

are they the same as vline jqf hoppers

Do the JQF's have electronically operated roof hatches?

[ad602000]

did these cars carry any particular cargo? Wanting to do a load for it, or are these ok for steel traffic as well?

[Midland]

Maybe this is the thread to post this in... :o

As some of you may know I've been creating sessions for Phil Skene's Austral Bay layout and trying to limit myself to Aussie stock. This isn't as easy as it might sound. There is a plethora of Aussie stock on the DLS but a significant amount of it is non-interactive. This does kinda make it unusable except possibly as window dressing or similar. I would hope that creators working in the present (post SP4 etc) consider the industry capability of stock to be an important part of what they're doing.

In particular I have trouble with log cars and flat cars. I've kinda whimped out by using Charlie Lear's very excellent NZR Url wagons under the dubious name Clinchfield (the last time I looked that wasn't in Oz!). Aside from the name they do have an Australasian look about them. But the flat car is a real problem. The only one I can find that works is the built-in NSWGR flat car which is really starting to show its age now. In preference I've been using some American 40' flatcars, the bogies and couplers are much better looking and they don't look wildly out of place. BUT THEY AREN'T AUSSIE! What do you guys carry bulldozers, trucks, army vehicles, tractors and farm machinery on?

I don't want to get into that feeding frenzy of "please build this" and "please build that" but I would like to reiterate the importance of industry capable stock. It makes sessions so much more interesting and interesting means fun!

And yes you're quite right; I couldn't even create a broom to sweep the yard, let alone rollingstock and scenery.

And if you see this as a complaint (which it really isn't) it isn't directed at any one in particular and I apologize for any offence caused. You guys basically do a terrific job. I'm just saying please remember the factory workers!


Cheers

[ad602000]

I've just started industry interactive and the biggest problem I have is trying to find loads everyone agrees upon. You say there are no flatcars but trying to setup a flat car for multiple types of loads can be difficult. I recently did an open wagon and have had to make about 6 versions.

[S301]

Peter, why do you need 6 versions? You can (Unless there is a change in the mesh) use a single one, with multiple queues and as many attachment points as you want :)
Zec

[ad602000]

because if you have one setup for pallets with 20 odd att points it would look a bit silly if you were able to load 20 containers not only because of numbers but because of att point placements.

anyway another steel wagon for newcastle, anyone want a beta?

http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/1893/ncdy1kc9.jpg

cheers
pete

[S301]

Peter, you can name the attachments what ever you want. Same as you can have the multiple queues, and tell them what objects, and what attachments, it should be using.
Eg. For a the open wagon there, you have a set of attachments for the containers (for example a.20ftcont0, a.20ftcon1 for two of them) and tell the config.txt to use these two attachments for the 20ft container queue. You can them have another set of attachments for the pallet loads (a.pallets0, a.pallets1, etc) and you then put in the config.txt that you want the second queue to use these attachments. Same as you can have a passenger car
that also loads luggage, etc by telling TRS to use the different attachment points for the different loads.

As for Nat and Davo..............DUUUUDDDEEEEE!!!!!!!!!:udrool: :'( (mental HI FIVE*)



*who likes Scrubs:cool:

[Raichase]

You may aswell put the crappy Auran built in 44 on that consist ......:D

Thats a bit unfair. Sure Natvander and Davido make jaw dropping models, but they also take a long time, due to the high complexity and the sheer quality of them.

The creator of the built in 44 would have put a similar amount of blood sweat and tears into his/her model, but due to it's age, it doesn't have the same amount of features that the modern models will have. Compare the TRS04 built in NODY and NLKY to the TRS06 NODY and NLKY. Both quality models on all counts, the new ones are just superior. That doesn't make the original "crap", just "not as good compared".

The built in NSW content has always been pretty sharp, and given some of the competition on the download station, pretty good. I have plenty of models I've downloaded, put them on the tracks and gone "wait, that's too bright, or it looks *wrong*". Never done that with the default things.

I agree, the 44 looks a bit dated, but it's still a fine model, and I still use it ;).

Not having a go mate, just trying to avoid people jumping on the bandwagon, especially if the creator of the original 44 is still around. It'd be a shame for content creators to stop because they can't compete with Cardiff.

:)

[flathog]

The original 44 was constructed by the Brew Crew at Auran:p
And I wouldn't have to use it if CWS released their's:hehe:

I believe I'm the fool who is responsible for that slight error there Bill, it appears that the alpha should have been a .bmp file and not a .tga, this is what I think causes that glitch of taking out certain meshes that use .bmp files as one see's through it.

Sometimes the whole screen is covered in black/grey smoke, and I have no idea why.

It has only ever happened to me with this Xplorer set, on this curve at this time of day, etc etc.

[Davido]

They were built for TRS2004 and 06 breaks them ....check the smoke_fastlife tag in the config.txt if it's 0.0 change it to 0.01 that's probably the problem
I'll have to update them one day

Hi iure,
Not as yet, they are all alpha at the moment, just looking at the wheat and wool loads, I think I need to widen those a bit, send me an email so I can get your name in my addy book to beta them, should be soon. The high sided derivative is the WS

The new layout already has an AI capable flour mill, which in turn produces 20ft containers. The container yard also accepts empty 20ft containers. I've run the AI through the flour mill, and it runs around it's train properly and everything, and then departs.

The Container yard will be harder to make AI compliant as it uses the LARS PT system, which means it takes over an hour to load a whole train. I'll try and work the AI into dropping container rakes off and picking them up, but I don't think I'll be able to convince it to dump 'em, run around 'em, wait for 'em to load, and then leave. Maybe, I won't rule it out.

Next time you see it, it should have some texture and some more scenery.

Hey Raichase, you have some interesting looking wagons there. I like your container flats, they look a little like our (NZ) Uk wagons. Are they and the NOD/NOCY looking wagons available to the general public by any chance?:o

JAMEZ100 the only problem I had with that coaling structure was that most of my NSWGR locos wouldn't fit under it!:confused: I hope you're not scratching the paint on the old En's cab roof! :hehe:

Thanks for the kind words Tom. Hope to get some texture done after work today!

They are indeed - all of them are built into Trainz2006, under the rest of the NSW content :)

Pete (ad602000) also has another couple of wagons in the works of the same/similar model (ie NODY, etc) that will also haul the "AUS 20ft" containers, although his also have "Freightcorp" badges, which make adding them to a consist good for variety.

As that consist is an ARG consist though, it's mostly ex SRA stock. Wouldn't mind some CFCLA flats to use on some trains though :P.

JAMEZ100 the only problem I had with that coaling structure was that most of my NSWGR locos wouldn't fit under it!:confused: I hope you're not scratching the paint on the old En's cab roof! :hehe:

Aldwater is still heavily under construction. I've just been playing around with unusual structures that I rarely use. You may also notice that the turntable is the 'Branchline' version, only 14m long. The biggest loco you can fit on it is the NSWGR 19 Class.

But like I said, it's still in development. The coaling facility is not so likely to stay.

Natvander: I've been playing around with track laying methods, and I came across a method that has a similar finished product to your style. I'm just wondering if you use FT Turnout's and 5.28m Spacers on junctions and yards as the original template?

[seeseeme]

Thanks Davido. It worked. :D

One more question, maybe Natvander can answer this one best(?):

Does anyone know where I can find detailed track plans of stations along the NSW South Coast Line (Illawara Line)? Particularly Bomaderry (Nowra), Kiama and Bombo.

I think I should have been following this thread from the start, now I have 40 plus pages to read :hehe: . Looks like I have some reading to do in my spare time.

I would have seen the progress of pete's work as well and known more about the wagons he has let me view and play with :hehe:

The above quote from Jamez though struck my interest (particularly as I live on the Far South Coast of NSW), I think I still have somewhere track plans for Bomaderry but I am not sure about other stations. These I got from DeRiCo some time ago. Jamez I am not sure of your interest in this area, as I said I have not been following this thread, but if you let me know I may have something more to help you with ....... a nice little surprise I think :hehe: :hehe:

EDIT: I just had a look at what I have. Back in the days of the CityRail project I was interested in do the line from Waterfall to Nowra, well it looks like I have all the Station Diagrams for this line except Nowra/Bomaderry (But I have seen it so it, so it is somewhere). I was just having another look and I do have Bombo, Kiama and many others. Plus I have Altitude and gradient diagrams for the whole line. Let me know if any of this is of interest to anyone. If I do not have Nowra/Bomaderry I know that DeRiCo will have it. Also these Station maps cover different periods/years so you can for example have all 1940's maps, or some prior and some more modern ones.

Thank you so much. :D

As for my interest in the area... my uncle lives just outside of Nowra. A few years back I stayed with them for a month and had the pleasure of being able to see a lot of ARG Manildra work at Bomaderry. Until then I had very little interest in modern railways, but seeing 3000hp loco's shunting only 5 metres away gives you a bit of motivation, especially when you feel the earth rumble beneath your feet as they crawl by you. :)

What details do you want me to give you for further contact on those track plans?

MSN, email, mailing address?

A D59 hauls a rather larger wheatie with the unusual inclusion of two BCW's due to lack of cattle sales during the drought.

Two match-trucks are included in the form of steel S wagons.
One being for compatibility issues between the buffered BCW's and the bufferless RU's
The other being included incase a hook and loop equipped loco is rostered to haul the auto-coupler dominent train.

Having advanced the route to this point, It really does scream out to be finished... Perhaps one day in the far, far, future.

The route as it stands is fully textured, and all of the track laid and graded between Penrith and Lithgow, with the exception of sidings, yards, etc.
All the roads are also in the route, albeit just as textures.

No buildings at all though, and only light sprinkles of the rest of the scenery...

It's incredible to run on even as it is now. The terrain extends quite far from the track, so utilizing Trainz Tuner to extend the view distance, you can get some incredible views.

Peace out, earth-children.

Close enough. While I've been waiting for the Bombo to Bomaderry DEM files to arrive, I've been tinkering with the old Aus Outback layout.

I'm 'Nat-ivating' it, and restyling it to be more NSW country style rather than SA desert.

It will be far more playable than the original when I'm done, and hopefully will bring as much fun to all of you as it did for me when I first bought Trainz 1.3 :D

A lot of CWS content is going in here with plenty of industry activities to play with.

May I ask where you got the container terminal from?

[3830]

http://img265.imageshack.us/img265/6904/screen117ap2.jpg


In normal circustances, the track goes through the cutting and the road round the outside, but thats just the way I would do it and its up to you;) Looks great though.

[flathog]

Maybe the road was added later or the road is following an old railway deviation but going around reduced the grade:p

Tom

[Raichase]

Yeah, I agree with you. However, in this case, the track going through that cutting there would have resulted in a tighter than needed curve after the bridge.

Maybe the road was added later or the road is following an old railway deviation but going around reduced the grade:p

Tom

Thats pretty close. The idea here is that the highway is quite new, hence why the road is in good nick.

Thanks for the kind words guys :D

[JAMEZ001]

Raichase: The container terminal isn't a one piece object. The ground is 'conc slab 50m', with the usual containers and forklift crane, and a few walls that suited well. I can't remember what the shed is called, but when I'm on next I will find it for you. The loading dock on the shed is made from 'UK Platform 1 & 2'. The rest is pretty simple really.

I must ask, where did you get the Blue Circle hoppers from?

Ask Natvander to send you a copy of his signalling guide via email. It has really helped me with re-signalling the Brownlow Flats Railway, but I'm not finished that task yet as I am working on the 'extensions' to Varley and Wingham Heights (that is the Work-In-Progress name).

The shunting signals are far from complete in that they only function as 'normal' signals and not shunting signals. The implementation of working shunting signals is on our 'to do' list, but the list is long...

Ok. So I can just place any of them anywhere (prototypical) in a yard, and they will (should) do their job.

I've been studying the ways you've placed them on the Wadalbavale Line, but I don't see any continuous pattern in where they are positioned, or which ones are used and why.

Is there any possibility that this is explained more elaborately anywhere?
