Australian screenshots

Hi folks

Pete (AD602000) and Rod (Comtrain) were kind enough to send me a beta version of the 49 class. Pete's done a great job, but I'd rather let the screenies tell the story. :D

Not the ones I drive! Slow to start from cold and quickly lose momentum on hills. And for some reason you feel like you're doing 20 more than you really are.
They are quite fun to drive though! The V8s in them absolutely scream, and the classic wood grain dashboard and 4 spoke steering wheel are just so cool!

If we're going to be comparing firetrucks how about mine, a old old OLD tractor that creates more smoke then the fire and 3 1000 litre water tanks.:p

Its a good system for putting out fires on my grandads farm, use one tank with 1 stand-by whilst the third gets filled up at the dam or tank;)

So who can beat THAT:hehe:

Hello
Just letting you all know that i am currently re-makeing my Marooma route with better looking track, 10 new squares and a station ( any thoughts of a good station name) Also im thinking of extending it to a junction at a main line if anyone would like to see that to...
Anyways heres some pictures.

3829 heads a small goods train into Coolomba.

I've noticed that the smoke box of 3813 on your loco is green not black (what I thin it is) that be fixed

[ad602000]

wrong caption under a photo I used it was a double header pic and one had a green smoke box which was identified as 3813 the only pic I found where 13 supposedly had a green smoke box. so I erred on the side of caution and gave it a black smoke box instead

[Ghostryder]

i will take a stab in the dark and suggest maybe it has the class of Passenger Car it is and perhaps the Car number.

in the case of the FO car it is either going to be HFO/FO and car number .

Cheers

[flathog]

Could also be BI;)

[Natvander]

It is the car's class.

I believe it says CCA. :wave:

Judging by the positioning of the vent, I don't think that it's an FO.

Looking at the original scan ( even over sharpened and at 500 % its definitetly CC something - possibly a B - the car number is 1258 or 9 ( just out of DOF so a little soft) - Unfortuantely this one is about the clearest of the lot reagrding lettering etc, but I can post one of the whole train if you like but most of the slides are fairly soft

Either way its where the car type (FO etc and running number) goes - differnt day / location / car - but 100% crop may be found here : http://www.pbase.com/stanb/image/90372302 (http://www.pbase.com/stanb/image/90372302).jpg

was actually after the 3801 on the far left, the real mettalic green looking one, but regardless the one ive got looks great except ive got the original 3801 tender which is a different green again, and cant seem to find the one for the 3801 ive downloaded (the one 2nd from the left).:confused:

the one with the specular applied was created by Marlboro, and last I heard wasn't allowed to be passed out to other users (Was an unfinished beta model).

[S301]

Anthony, looks great mate :)

Can I make a suggestion when taking screenshots. Try taking a quick one a few seconds before the one you want. That (sometimes) fixes the smoke (See how it goes level instead of coming out of the funnel).
Zec

[3830]

lol, I don't think that 38 could last on that track at any speed. Looks in pretty terible shape:p

[0099]

S301 the reason the smoke is weird ( i think ) is cause the computer can't handle the detail fo the route so its a bit jumpy and when i take a screenshot it kinda freezes for a second then the train jumps 10 metres...thats why the smoke is so weird cause it gets left behind :p

[0099]

Ad602000 im haveing problems with your 49 class...
I downloaded it from the link in one of the threads on the Victrainz site and when i try to load it i get an error when i place it saying it might be corrupt and then it quits out of trainz and says:
A error occured while trying to display the fatal error message

Any ideas on whats wrong?

[NR_121]

This might be a stupid question? Where can I find the new (upgraded) version of the 49 class.

I've been away from trainz for a while as I have a new job which I am still trying to settle down in. It's literally a new learning curve, for someone who has been doing the same job for over twenty years and now doing something completely different.

By the way great screenshots. I must post some screenshots oneday after things settle down and I get back into route building.

As the creator of that route, I must confess, I'm not that fond of it, as I didn't know as much as I now know - like templates for curves, etc etc etc. I think I've come a long way since then, both with scenery, texturing and above all, track laying - but I'm glad it bring you pleasure :)

Must be mad to do this again but now that I can do a bit with G-max (thanks for the first intro and a lot of help from Ian) it seems to be the way to go. I'll give it my best.

Except outside metropolitan areas (built-up) where they revert back to right hand side running with block limit boards (often DTC (Direct Train Control)). Or in some places (Toowoomba/North Coast Line) they have (normally) two aspect signalling with full CTC services.

Gday all.
Just a few from me. Took AN3 and NR75 for run on the Ghan. R727 and J559 ran a tourist train and triple ASR 830's ran the stone train.

Enjoy

44212 and 4805 combined to haul empty grain out of Wadalbavale Mill siding towards Wattle Creek.

4805 shunts the MHG out of the siding before going to pick up the empty grain hoppers. In the meantime, 44212 warms up in the background.

http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/1134/screen193zv9.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

4805 having returned with the train, the crew move over to the 442 and prepare to couple up for the long slog to Wattle Creek.

http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/7506/screen198mt2.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

Having crossed 401 with a down passenger train at Lambley, again the 442 is put into the loop at Karrah Bay, this time to cross 4808 with a Wadalbavale Fuel. Meanwhile, 401 has gone to Wadalbavale and has started back towards Wattle Creek, and will cross this fuel train at Halley River.

Redid the fuel siding at Wadalbavale to suit increased traffic, screenshots soon :). I'm mostly practicing my session rules and triggers and whatnot. Have done some examination of the "out of the box" sessions on this layout, so it's a good practice run :).

Very impressive both of you but Raichase I have some concerns about the absence of "runners" or "spacers" on your tank train. Over here fuel tankers could not be assembled immediately behind a loco and often an old box wagon or two of some kind was inserted between them. I guess having the tanks on the loco means you have something to throw your cigarette butts into! :hehe:

Incidentally I'm intrigued by the MHG van which as well as general goods can also carry passengers. Are they for freight trains or passenger trains?

MHG's were for a mixed goods. freight branch line trains not for passenger trains as suck also used on stock movements when stockman or drovers travelled with live stock.

Spacer wagons were not common in NSW either on a mixed or full rake fuel train. An S match track was some times used but just to allow some steamers with link couplers to match to auto coupler tanks cars, that were introduced on most tank cars early in the change from screwlink to auto couplers.

Went down to Wadalbavale today, only to find Zs301 sitting with a short up goods service. Went and asked the driver when he was due to depart, which was about 10 minutes from when I arrived. I then set off, with a friend, to the north of Wadalbavale to take some photos of the train. I waited at the open area just north of the Dairy CoOp, whilst my friend waited at one of the bridges further north (about bridge 3 from Wadalbavale). Was surprised to see what was added to the train after I took the first photo...

Zs301 simmers in the yard prior to departure.

Hello
I ahve a quick question..
what is the weight per carriage for a load trial up a grade?
Cause on my model layout ( N-Guage) we ran a trial train up a scale 1 in 50 grade pushing 2 flat cars with a load of 180 grams between the both cars and was wandering if thats a large scale load in real life and stuff like that..

Thanks

Yes its been a while sitting on the back burner .....It would have to be the most difficult model I have ever tried to make ..4 years in the trying 1 year off for being slack and to tell the truth sick of IT! I dont know how many rebuilds it has had ...I was only working on it yesterday new coronas headlights better doors and the new QRwings on the front clearer alpha numbers and dest signs its slowly getting there again but I have a texture reflection problem now !?! when you put both sections togeather as they were exported the same way some how the left side is more shiney than the right? to cure this I think I might have to export the B section backwoods so the side textyres would at least match up .
Hopefully get a start on the bogeys today as my holidays are running out FAST!..............:eek:

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the reply.
The ramp is 1.6m high maybe the construction is a bit heavy I'll have a look at it and trim it down a bit.

I'll work on it later, have to do some "work".

Awesome stuff, thats my favorite layout!

You wouldn't have known as I never announced it ;) I've bridged the river south of Wadalbavale and am heading south-west. I always intended for it to continue.

You wouldn't have known as I never announced it ;) I've bridged the river south of Wadalbavale and am heading south-west. I always intended for it to continue.

Ah, fair enough.

Having recently been down south of Kiama, the area always reminded me of that same area. That you bridged the river, always intending to continue reminds me of the governments plan to bridge the river and continue... Fortunately, you're not limited by petty bureaucracy :P.

I do look forward to seeing some more screenshots of the revised Wadalbavale area. If I may ask, have you moved into the present day with the bridging (ie, the original stays set in the candy era, with the "new" layout being more in the present day), or is it still set in the Candy era?

I'm working on some of the stations in the original, adding your semaphores to the route, as the light signals seem a little unusual on a branch served by two 400 class railcars. The 620's, I imagine would be a different kettle of fish, of course.

Apart from having the standard goods around the wrong way ( outbound coalies were tender first) you're looking pretty good - you've even got the bloomfield coalie right using LCH/CCH's (tho they were actually airbraked :) ) ... Its great when someone creates a layout that is recognisable

for a teenager i think young Daniel has done well to recreate the Hunter area. i guess those of us who have learned about the railways either from the Railways or their employees can pass on the knowledge we have learned. i guess in trainz with portals and stuff we tend to bend the way things were.

Daniel

your routes looking awesome.

Nat
Your screenshots looking awesome as always

I have to admit that I agree with you fully - I think Daniel is doing a superb job of creating a layout that not only claims to represent an area, does so recognisably to anyone familiar with the area. As to minor details like getting the std the wrong way around well I cant really blame him given that most of the extant collieries, including bloomfield have replaced their exchange yards with balloon loops..

keep up the good work daniel. Cant wait to see the finished line

[jubo]

Ah ha another Acco, this time a Civilian one! Just wondering Nat would you be able to do an 1810/C (1710/c will do) with a tealy/aqua cab and a tipper tray? My family used to own one like that. Good stuff nayway keep up the great work. Hmm with Daniel creating the Newcastle Area and Nat doing an extension of the Waldabavale line and mentioning the magical place of 'Broadmeadow', looks like a great merger!

[jubo]

Is that truck you've done a 3070A? or a 1952A or 2152A? if its an A or B series it has one too many spokes on the front rims. They had 5 spoke rockwells. Great stuff nonetheless, soory to be a rivet counter but Accos are my passion!

It's ALOT easier to texture a 6 spoke than a 5 spoke, so all my Inters will get 6 spokes ;)

[psycho_aussie]

Nice work Bill. I thought the perspective was a little off. Shortening the top of the ramp helped a bit as well.

Good to hear that you are extending Wadalbavale Nathan. I'll just wait patiently for that :)

Chris

[Raichase]

Loving the new wagons, Nat, looking sharp! Is that at a new town south west of Wadalbavale, or from your Glen Innes map? :)

Cheers!

[flathog]

I'm going to have a WSITD guess at the Glen Innes map by the looks of things, this new stuff is really amazing, very much looking forward to their release in the hopefully not to distant future...:D

[jubo]

The vaults at Cardiff Workshops must be over flowing, the Accos, the new Waldabavale extensions, the 44 and 45 class, the 620/720's, that coal bin which was previewed a while back. I can't wait, it will be like what Christams was when i was young!:hehe:

[flathog]

If only the vault was over-flowing....I'd be first there to catch the over-flowing goodness:D
Aww well...I think we should banish CWS from all "life" activities until these models are complete, would you guys be willing to surrender to these requests?:p

Tom

[Natvander]

I don't think Mrs Natvander (nor Mrs Davido) would appreciate us being locked up behind the computer...maybe you should consult with them first...

Here's some quick shots of the start of the extension. Our budget simply didn't have enough money to build the bridge when I did the Wadalbavale Line originally.

[Raichase]

Oooh, I see the fuel siding has had a makeover! Very nice :D. I would hazard a guess that you made those tanks yourself, or are they perhaps on the DLS somewhere?

That's a very long bridge, too!

Very cool stuff, I was afraid you'd have knocked the fuel siding down into dust and built the extension from there! As it stands on my version of the layout, I've added an extra fuel siding and increased capacity!

Cheers for sharing the screenies, looking great!

[ad602000]

I love this thing because of it's unusual design. Now that I've built it maybe I should do a 50 class:)
Will do the bogie in the next couple of days. These were not only used for shunting, but all the paraphernalia hanging off the back was for fighting fires

What type of tender is that and what engine did it run behind??? Ive seen one at NSWRTM but ive never seen nor heard of it before...

Thanks
Anthony

[3830]

They were promently used on TFs and 50s that had to work on small turntables (is that right pete, not 100% sure) and for shunting. Mainly for the turntable is the main reason I would guess.

Fred3801, cowan bank has trees:D lol.

[ad602000]

mate all i know is that they were used for shunting, there was a longer bogie version as well. they were used as far out as broken hill, port waratah and in the yards around Sydney. they were used behind anything from a 32 to a 50, but only on shunting duties

According to Preston, the sole tender type B - 4 wheel, 2t coal, Number LO32, was used in and around sydney, and finished its days behind saturated 5202 shunting Clyde - the extinguisher gear was a just in case fitting, tho with only 800 gallons It wouldn't have been a great fire engine :). the single Tender type A (LO33) - an 8 wheeled version had a much more varied life, initially behind a C32 during construction of the line to broken hill, then spent a period behind various 50 classes working out of Pt Waratah (Including on the coal roads - theres a pic of it paired with 5195 at hexham in standrads in steam - 50 class), before ending up working the sydney yards..


If you do go ahead with a 50 class, may I suggest aiming for the saturated variant (with the short smokebox - there were saturates with long smokeboxes - can help with diagrams and pics) - that will compliment John_SB's superheated version very nicely. :)

[Natvander]

After some of the replies to some of my pics, I couldn't help it...

Here's two for the "ACCOholics" :D

http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/4456/acco1tv1.jpg

Obviously they're at varied states of completion, and I still need more.

[Raichase]

Oh my, thats quite something! Also, a big cheer for the reverse 44 lurking in the background. Smart alec can't let you get a shot of just trucks, he has to stick his nose in :P

[ad602000]

Hi Stanb,
Yes I was thinking of the 50, hadnt occurred to do a different variant to that of Johnsb's. if you have plans, diagrams, pics would be very appreciated. who knows might even do a waisted firebox:)

cheers

[0099]

Actually from here it looks like a 421??
Unless its the angle the nose looks to rounded to me...

It's not a 421.

Cheers Pete - while there are a few saturated 50's in the gallery, I've found a few clearer shots of the normal saturated T ( D50 class) :
5178 contemplates a bleak future after withdrawal at enfield http://www.pbase.com/stanb/image/91646761

5069 shunts at Pt waratah http://www.pbase.com/stanb/image/91647092

here is a superheated one a la John_SB http://www.pbase.com/stanb/image/91589105 (although his is actually the north british built variant with the funnel further back on the smokebox)

and finally by way of comparison, from front to back - a 53, a superheat 50, another 53, and saturated finally 5069 http://www.pbase.com/stanb/image/91647605

In the gallery there's also a few of 5112 which was a unique amongst teh saturates in being fitted with electic lights, leading auto coupler, and a turretted morts dock tender - Incidently speaking of tenders , you should have the correct mesh for the original T class tender - the c30T 8 wheeler's were recycled d50 class tenders so if the mesh is accurate then that will enable a quicker build

I'll chase up some diagrams forward to you too

[jubo]

The two Accos you have with the air horns on the roof need their exhausts moved to the left hand side. Only the inter T line had exhausts like that! mm rivet counting:p

Oh - disclaimer - The TF wasn't going to bloomfield. I just got bored and thought I would drive it into a coal loader so I could finish up. Thanks for the heads up, I've got to watch what I'm doing.:confused:

The Golden holden is actually being restored to working order at the moment......

[ad602000]

mentioned this as a possible alternate tender for the 53 and 55 as well as several other nsw tender locos. These were used for shunting duties, would be fun in that sort of scenario in cab mode as they only carried 500 kilos of coal and about 1800 gallons of water. there wouls be lots of toing an froing to replenish

A special train was organised by ZecRail, to deliver some betas to the beta testers. I was able to photograph it departing Wadalbavale, with Zs301 at the head. The wagons in the consist for delivery were 6 KMQ flats, 5 T insulated vans, and an ALX automobile transporter.

Quick question for the gang, I'm working on some evening screenshots, and I was wondering if the CWS semaphores lit up? I get the feeling I'm missing a dependancy or something, because they all work fine, just without light :).

i think you need the timewatcher rule to allow them to light up after dark. if i am wrong i am sure nat will be able to give you the correct option.

The continuation of CityRail making their gradual Easy Access upgrades to alot of the station on the network even shows in Trainz. At an unknown station the upgrade is nearing completion. The station master is quite relieved as he'll get his station back.

http://chopstickles.com/misc-images/city-rail-1.jpg


All looked fine as a 4-car S-Set powered up the relief and an R-Set (refurbished) came down the mains.

http://chopstickles.com/misc-images/city-rail-2.jpg

After some more snooping around (hadn't been at the station since it's closure a while back)... something odd was discovered.

http://chopstickles.com/misc-images/city-rail-3.jpg

Dumbfounded the station master couldn't believe how what he saw could even be possible. The 2 most important aspects of the upgrade were no where to be seen, there wasn't even an area for the doorway to the elevators. (whats the other problem?)

Pretty sure the newb who stuffed it up is now on the dole.

Textures need work as do alot of other aspects and the tiling. lol

Hi folks

I've started a small Queensland route, I've got a few shots to show. I've actually made some good progress, it's only about 17-18 boards, A to B, although I may add a couple more as I need a cattle yard for the meatworks trains, chop chop.:p

Anyhow, this is the town of Grandchester, although bears no resemblance to the QLD town, I just used that name. Grandchester is home to an airport which is also utilised by the RAAF.
