Nice work anyway

Just a quick question?
How far should a route be? Because the one im building is 16 squares long and has 3 stations. The reason im asking is because its set in forest so theres Millions of trees and heaps of grass( Im not joking just look at some of the pictures of it :)) And it makes my computer slow so i don't wan't to do anymore. Also is it alright to end with a portal just after a station?
Thanks

[S301]

It can be as long as you want it to be :)
1 base board, or 100 base boards. It doesn't matter. 16 BBs is a good length though, in fact if it's a branch line 16 BBs can be great fun :)

Just to revive this thread:D
Would anyone like to have my Marooma Route? Cause im having problems uploading it to the DL/S and if anyone wan'ts the full version ill send it to you. Just send a PM with your MSN or Yahoo And ill seend them after i get a few. If you wan't pictures of it just ask and ill get a few.

[colhad]

What sort of problems are you having Anthony, does the DLS give you any messages as to why it won't upload??

I'll PM you my email and my msn hotmail and I'll add you to my list cos I'd like to have a look at it. :)

[0099]

I Think its something to do with the uploading part cause it said it was accepted but never turned up and the helpdesk said something about the build number but i don't know about that.

[colhad]

Time for me to show some shots now. I have quite a few, been holding off showing pics until I had done some decent work.

The route is called Clyde District, named after my favourite locos. It is an Australian based route but not really modelled on one particular area.

In these shots I've used two Westrail locos and woodchip hoppers, then there are some pics without trains.

Now for the pics, AB1535-P2011 haul woodchip hoppers from the first major town on the route known as Drayfield, heading towards Warrabah.

Great shots Anthony.

I may be getting a little picky with my realism here, but I don't think double Candy 44's ever pulled the Aurora, and I only remember them running Nose>Tail once in the very early days, and that was in the Indian Red colour scheme, soon after they were only ever run Tail>Tail. By the time the Candy colours were released it was pulled by 81's most of the time.

I may be wrong, but I would probably never know for sure unless I point this out and get corrected. :wave:

[Natvander]

Jamez, does it really matter if it's not 110% prototypically correct?? Nearly every post I've read from you seems to pick out faults in screenshots. How about just enjoying the screenshots for what they are?

[Forest_Runner]

Jamez,

I found as a kid anything was possible during holiday season in the warmer months. Notably Christmas holidays when in those days the railways obliged with extra passenger services and were up to the hilt with grain season and the like. During the early 80's we had some 600's and 830's on loan from the ANR and Victorian locos would occasionally interlope.....pretty much proving shortages at times.

Referring to your particular example....it was December 1985. Not 2, but 3 44 classes thundered through Picton on The Aurora. The first 2 were in Candy livery with the third in "Grey Ghost." I can't recall the exact nose/tail marshalling however. Once around Picton hill and heading in the opposite direction above Picton itself, the 3 Alcos sounded awesome.

Out of interest, we knew full well the Spirit of Progress would be hot on it's tail, so we waited. The Spirit had a VR X class and a candy 421 on it. My first sighting of an X class and my only lifetime sighting of a 421 in Candy, which is why I recall this evening so vividly.

I miss those days :(

Apologies for off-topic too.

Cheers,
Simon.

[0099]

Thankyou Jamez001 i never new that and will not do it again:)
But i USUALLY just put in a random diesal on any random trains.

Anthony.....on the bright side at least you weren't told one (or both) of you numbered locos weren't outshopped in Candy Stripe :p

Sorry about the delay on the 38, I'm just finishing some stuff off. And I got distracted :o


Oh yes, can I made a suggestion with your firebox? Try this: http://www.storage.victrainz.com.au/tutorials/belpair-firebox-tutorial/belpair.html

Makes life just that much easier, since this gives you a section which you can build onwards from :) Also makes it look a little 'softer'. Thats the only way I can think to put it anyway. This isn't a criticism, just an idea. I know it made my life easier with the K class :D

That is certainly a HUGE improvement over previous locomotives Pete.

Almost paywa....Ummm...Good stuff:hehe: (Don't want to give bad ideas):p

Tom

[ad602000]

Also makes it look a little 'softer'.

just tried that Zec, it certainly gets rid of that pesky little flat surface on the corners if you chamfer and you are right, it does look softer and a more believable curve and its easy once you make one, just save it as a bit and resize as appropriate.

@ Tom, wash your mouth out with soap, you naughty naughty boy, haven't you been told not to use the "p" word in mixed company:D

cheers
pete

[S301]

Glad it helped Peter.
And it most certainly does make a great starting point. My entire K class firebox was made from bits of that, copies to the correct spots then adjusted. Takes a fair bit of time, but it makes a nice even effect and can in a way keep the poly count fairly clean. And now back to my model railway :)

Man that track texture is awesome! who made it?

[p_dacey]

Hey guys,

i've started making a short route for fun, instead of playing solitaire- its melbourne based- a terminus on the suburban lines- will be using the Connex x'traps as there is no other suburban model :'(

Just wondering what the best overhead to use would be? to match up with the panto and also to look prototypical- ALSO track texture- ive used a modern concrete one but looks to light instead of our darker grey colour in real life...


any pointers would be great, ps im running Trainz2006..


Oh and if anyone would like to contribute some Metlink/ connex signs ill give u a free copy of the route- ill make atleast 3-4 stations, based loosely on a real line, have just one at the moment, screenshots will come when it looks more real lol....

but cantenary and track texture/ colour tips would be great!

[3830]

Man that track texture is awesome! who made it?

Zec (S301) did, currently unavailable.

[S301]

Yeah, that track is by me. Well, jerker and myself anyway. I still have to make a SG version, plus some others that I wish to include.

As for catenary. I don't know of any that looks similar to Victorian ones that match the X'Trap. I'm pretty sure the X'Trap has it's pantos set too high. However, I have used a set that seems very similar to Vic's and is about the correct hight. It just won't match up with the X'Trap. And there is a Comeng on the DLS, albeit only the motor car.

Having chased and photographed many trains on this route over the years (unfortunaetly not Ts or 400s) and I must say you have done a fantasic job in capturing the feel of the countryside in that area although to me it suggest more Gladstone to Caltowie than Crystal Brook to Huddlestone.

For the pedantic out there, if its the spot I'm thinking of then the screenshot of the half horseshoe is technically incorrect as the old NG took a slightly different route here.

But hey its Trainz and if it looks and feels good do it!

Congratulations to all those who created the various assets to allow 3830 put these masterpieces together.

Thanks. This route actually isn't a prototypical one. I've just used to names from a book I found and pictures. To be honest, I don't know much about SAR ng but I'm just making this line for something to run on in the mean time ti'l a DEM route comes out. :p But I'm glad you like it.

They were certainly more commonly lined in orange, however the orange rarely lasted long before blending in with the rest of the dirt! It was uncommon for the lining to still be bright more than a few days after painting.

The tender doesn't look to be high enough, but it could just be the way the shots taken. Good work anyway.

[ad602000]

could be the angle as I used one big plane for both the loco and tender to apply the plan to, so that they would be correct in relation to each other.

You need to get onto the firemen and driver about spilling coal onto the back of the tender:p

Thats certainly not good practice and a waste of good coal:hehe:

[stanb]

Looks like the K class is coming along nicely Peter. A minor nit tho - the firebox should taper in to fall between the frames as per the D53 and D50 class. That would allow more room for that somewhat undernourished air reservoir

Also while the coned boiler is nice , any chance of a standard parallel boilered version too - as with the D53, the taper boilers were replaced with standard (50 class superheated) boilers from the mid 1930's.

another simple variation is the oil burner conversion , but I think they may have been fitted with wampu tenders

[jubo]

Just something i'd thought i'd share with everyone, the last 620 class railset will run a pecial invitation only run from Newcastlt o Paternson and return on Monday at 9:30am. Perhaps Cardiff Workshops could release their models to coincide with this date?:udrool:

Even though im not the most importent person in the trainz community im just letting you's know that i won't be doing anything for awile cause of this fatal error problem i have. Im trying to get a solution WITHOUT re-installing everything... The only solution there is now is to just let CMP re-build but its taken literly 2 days almost.

If this does not work try backing up the local folder to another part of your PC then delete the local folder out of the TRS2006 folder remove the assets tdx file and then run CMP and see if it will update.
I tried to do this to fix a Fatal error then weh n iwen't back to the folder there was nothing in the local folder.:'( :'( :'(

hang on, which folder did you copy? All your downloads in trs? and then you put it somewhere else(the copy) and then you went back to your original folder.
Is there anything in the copy of the folder? If so copy it back to where the original was.

People should invest in a dvd rw disc and occasionally back up there custom content and downloads onto it. Do you want me to resend anything Anthony?

How do you know the fatal error causing item wasn't in that folder anyway?

Re; 3801 release

I havent heard much from the beta testers as yet, although some were having some loading issues, which I think was because of my original 3801 being on their PC's.

When I get some good feedback I will release it then probably as a victrainz release on the dls. I have heard that this version works in 06. since the beta I have added shadow boxes under the loco and tender, tried animated coal which wouldn't work so for now it has a static mesh for coal until I can get that sorted out, so hopefully soon for a release within a fortnight maybe

[Raichase]

Just a quick question?
How many squares would "113.1" klms be?
Is it huge?

Depending on the scale.

Using "real scale" on a new map, draw a ruler from one end of the baseboard to the other, and check how long it is. Haven't had any time for Trainz for months and months, so I don't remember, but it's a starting point.

I always use a ruler, even on make-believe layouts, I aim for 5-10km beteween stations/junctions/sidings etc, to keep things interesting for the user, yet also not have everything within sight of everything else.

Cheers!

I tink the baseboards are 750x750 and the reason i asked is cause im thinking of making a proto route of Aberdeen To just after Werris Creek... So i just wanna know how many squares it might be so i can see if i can go further to Tamworth or somewhere like that...

Dear All, I downloaded the VR S Class Blue steam loco this weekend, a beautiful model as you can see by the screenies, however, I am puzzled as there are white stripes on the loco and tender where I remember reading the VR logo should go, but, there is no attachment on the download for any nameplates or logos or anything like that, do you know if this is something separate on a 3rd party site, or have I not looked closely enough on the DLS please ??

Thankz in anticipation someone can give me some assistance.

If I am correct, They are there until you type in a number of the locomotive e.g. S301, S302, then the long board on the valance will change with the locomotives name such as Sir Mathew Flinders etc. The small white board on the tender is where the number is.

Hi ex-railwayman.
Glad you like the S class.
In surveyor after placing the locomotive and tender.
Click on the question mark thn then the locomotive and for runing numbers type s301,s302.s303,s304 to get diffferent numbers and name to show on the loco.
Also click on the question mark and the tender and give it the same number as the locomotive.

Many thanks sarail and John for your answer, I will test this out this week, it is a beautiful model, similar to the sleek design of the BR A4 steam loco's. I think I have downloaded nearly all your locos John, steam and diesel, they have been wonderfully created, thank you very much.

Hi Dreddman,

With all this inter-acting, you'll need to be members of actor's equity.

A question:-
Having seen raining cats (smoke effect), would it be possible to have a similar effect, using the steam effect?.

And in TRS2004, is it possible to turn smoke on/off whilst in-game??.
I'm guessing steam cannot be controlled in this way?.

With a modified steam effect, would it be possible to have metallic parts (nuts/bolts, broken bits etc), mixed in with the steam?.

Perhaps a 'steam effect' attached somewhere underneath the main bogies, spitting out the odd piece of broken machinery??.

:hehe:

[colhad]

I'm liking the 1720 Dredd, a QR branchline is not complete without a 60 tonner hauling QLX wagons. Places like Quilpie, Stanthorpe, Goondoowindi, Winton etc....

3830 that Beresfield shot in particular is so accurate, it's scary. Like the NR/NR/81 combo, is that shot in National Rail days, or Pac Nat days?

Very cool stuff man :D

[Natvander]

Very nice Grasshopper. I'm looking forward to having a run.

[Raichase]

Forgot to ask, the NGKF in the last screenie, is that avaliable for download, or is it a beta model? Looks cool :D

[3830]

@Raichase, Thanks for the coments. I'm not sure whether its PacNat or NR, I'll have a look at the decals:p Probably PacNat

@Nat, Thanks too. Must get in touch about catenary. Do you have any plans? You seem to for everything else;)

Cheers, Daniel:)

Can you let me have a screenshot of a close-up of the SAR 400's running gear? There seems to be a texture problem there.

Thanks, Bill.

Hi all,

Sorry to bother everyone but I'm kind of new to the Trainz Forums and I've got some screenies to show but and I know this might be a stupid question but could someone please explain to me how to upload screenies from my PC to the forum?

I've had a look in the help section of the forum but I must have overlooked something :p , and I still can't work out how to!

Thanks in advance,

Matt

Well, the Auran server (DLS, and Auran pages, not the forum or IRC server) is currently offline. This will be the cause of CMP giving these messages, atleast today it will be :)

I too have had this problem, but I can't remember how to fix it. I did a search on the TRS2006 support forum, which is where I found a thread with the answer. I thought it was a sticky, but obviously not.

I looked through the first three pages of the TRS2006 forum just then, and couldn't find anything relevant, so try searching, and if that fails, check with the help desk.

[0099]

Well for some reason it still shows how fast the downloads are going and the "clunk" sound is still going so hopefully the downloads are still going...

[S301]

Guys, the DLS is currently offline. This includes CMP's connection to the DLS, the TRS06 website, TC website, www.auran.com website, and any others that run of that exact server. The forums, and IRC, are running off a different server.
Zec

[0099]

What should i do about it still downloading stuff?
Should i let it go through and it won't affect the download or do i have to stop and wait till its back up?

[S301]

Stop and wait till it comes back online :)
Zec

[0099]

How do i stop it when this is what it looks like...
If i quit out of CMP when i get back on my downloads won't be on the list and ill have to go through the DL/S to get them again...
http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/1076/cmp2do0.jpg

If you look on the download bar the add for it and how fast its downloading is still there...

EDIT* Sorry but i can't make it bigger.

[S301]

You have to close CMP. It looks like the DLS going offline has caused CMP to crash.
Unfortunately, you will have to live with CMP forgetting what files you were downloading.

Flathog:

I cannot reproduce the effect on my 2004 setup (I don't have 2006 installed). Your screenies look very dark, can you lighten them and see if that has any effect? Or try a daytime shot.

Here is a screenie from my system:

Bill, I think it may have something to do with the time of day in game. I'm going to guess that flathog's were taken about 6am or 4pm.

Hi all,

Just a couple of screenies of a couple of locos I’ve been working on. The first is LVRF's 4458. Its basically a paint shed reskin of the standard Auran 930 class model, but i've made a few modifications to make it more like a 44 class rather than a 930 class, including;
- moving up the positions of the front number boxes.
- changing the style of marker lights (front and rear)
- putting the old diaphragm holders on both ends.

Only thing I couldn’t fix up was the positioning of the staff exchanger. (I think that the staff exchangers on the 44 class are on the opposite of the 930's, can anyone help me on this?).

Any comments or suggestions, other feedback etc?

Cheers,

Matt

Daniel, I saw what you meant about the shadow box and it is now a lot more subtle. Love the layout, pity it's 2006. The other thing is the coronas are no where near as bright on my pc, but I'm running 04. Is there a setting I can adjust somewhere in the game?

The problem with the SAR 400's rods has been fixed, I hope, so look for updated driver bogies on the DLS soon.

@Tom, Sorry. But I like those two pics. I just need my non air cars in game and it'd look very nice. I like your pic aswell.

@Pete, I'll see what I can find...

@Bill, What exactly was the problem?

Hi all,

Have been having troubles with all the steam loco's that I have downloaded, the NSW 59 class, QR Beyer Garrat, SAR 400 Class Garrat and most of Subpar productions steam loco's have been having the same troubles......

when I get into driver with them, the boiler pressure is around 50 Psi, which all good enginemen know that it's impossible to opearate a steam loco on that amount, It also seems that the saftey valves are set at 50 Psi as well........

I have trs04 so all of you know.......

Any contributions will be helpful!

Well since the W cars had 4 wheel bogie's my guess is the E cars.

Also considering it is a 1st + 2nd class car it has to be an ABE???
Now you just need a BCE to go with it:D
