BR BBA Steel Carrier brown loaded. I don't actually know of any industries that you don't have to configure yourself to load steel and I don't know of any NSW steel wagons that actually load steel with out having to be configured yourself.

Very close - yes the ladder is new but its not gained a window but is now missing 2 that the 42's never had :)
plus its now got animated fans to.

The 42's were a winner that's why NSWGR stuck with the 42 series improving the breed - 42's 421's 422

Something new, hmmm,1 new window and the ladder, because I still have your old 42 class.
If I remeber correctly speaking the real world 42s, they were really prone to failiure or was that the GM class?

Great Images but would not train 3 be made up of Auroa cars not Indian Pac cars ?

Yes that is true and I know that the Central West Heritage Express tour did use aurora cars because I followed the train most of its trip. Let me explain why I used the IP coaches.
The changes to this layout are actually not seen from any of those images, the changes were at the Sub Terminal which is west of the station. The use of the IP coaches was for the simple fact of at the time of them being taken which was a while ago, I had no idea about the existence of Southern Aurora coaches for trainz and the only other silver NSW coaches I had were the built in IP ones.

Salem cigarettes, not a good look for Auran as well as potentially illegal if uploaded. Could easily be construed as banned cigarette advertising and land them in court, particularly in view of the fact a lot of children play with Trainz.

The typical make up of the SA was as follows - before you ask - MHN, NAM, LAN, NAM, LAN, DAM, RMS, BCS, LAN, NAM, LAN, NAM, LAN, PHN (14 cars);

Wait what? I knew of the Southern Aurora Iat the time I just didn't know someone had made the coaches for trainz.

Here are some photos of Parkes near the railway station of the progress so far.

those junctions are much too sharp, you'd derail over them instantly. I use 40m as a basis for 3.6m spacing, more on mainlines (60m maybe) but for that I'd probably suggest 70m or more on that junction to the yard track in the first image.

The only way to get sharper points is double slips -

Thats some nice looking trackwork there and my layout was measured to the actual yard so mine is acurate enough and with the points near the crossing, I tested 2 NRs with a container train over that at 50kph and they went fine.

I wasn't talking about at the crossing, I'm talking about the track that junctions off of the mainline track on the right side of the image. There is little chance a train would get around that realistically without derailing and an even slimmer chance that a railway (one even as stupid as NSWGR) would lay a cross so tight. Also, from a quick google maps view of Parkes, your yards appear to be on an angle that's much too obtuse

Please delete my image in your quote, it's common sense (which isn't that common anymore) and is just more scrolling.

Why is NSWGR stupid? in reality, it is just another railway, just a different state and I only plan to run single locos over those points anyway so I don't really need to change.

Is that based on broad gauge track spacing or standard gauage track spacing - remembering even through the gauge in NSW was 4'8" the NSWGR was often very narrow minded.
