I was wondering when this forum was going to return its original purpose. Time to heat up the butter...:p

Fun fact: This shot has appeared in this thread less than an argument involving the same people.

Cheers

Tim,
Just curious what edition of Trainz that shot is from and the name of the signal please? The level of detail just for the rear of it is flabbergasting to me. We have certainly come a long way in the last few years. Thanks.
Regards,
Glen

Yeah, think I might try and help revert this thread to its original purpose... two oldies

Glen,

I'm running the pre-SP1 build of TS12. It's one of the beta semaphores Zec released over on Victrainz (can't remember if they were released elsewhere) but they are incredible. Granted they are Victorian Railways but there are a huge range of them in the pack. See here for more details. (requires login)

Cheers

TGR narrow gauge T 235 (ex SAR T 235) on the 1:40 climb to Mt Nicholas coal mine on the Fingal Line early 1950s.

 
a huge thanks to Dinorius_Redundicus for making this for me without my asking him

even though he made it as a defunct service station
i just couldn't resist the temptation to show as it was when in use.
even a steam train driver is walking inside to get some refreshment or maybe a bite to eat on the long run out to boonah dugandan

7:10AM, Stoney Creek bridge. The original 19th-century bridges on the FIngal Line were all timber trestles, like this one at Stoney Creek, just east of Llewellyn station. By the 1950s these bridges were not worth maintaining and a decade-long program of gradual replacement commenced. A hazard speed restriction of 10 or 15mph applied to timber trestle bridges.



7:22AM, Eastbourne, 12 miles from Conara Junction, has no village around it. Onboard passengers intending to alight here had to advise the guard, while those waiting to board had to flag the train down. Half the listed Fingal line locations in the 1952 working timetable (8 out of 16) have similar provisions, while another quarter are not passenger stations but mine junctions or sidings (Malahide, Silkstone, Mt Nicholas, and Jubilee). The stock yard was not seeing much use by 1952, the transport needs of the local pastoralists being met by the adjacent Esk Highway.



7:28AM. The Fingal line crosses the Esk Highway 4 times in the first half of its length from Conara, then the highway stays immediately south of the railway from there to St Marys. The crossing just east of Eastbourne is the second such crossing. As with the crossing of the Midland Highway at Conara, there were no automated warning lights or barriers in 1952. Signs to sound the whistle and reduce speed to 15mph were safety precautions which had to be observed by approaching train drivers.

 
Looks mighty interesting, pware! An Australian, relatively overgrown, relatively narrow gauge branchline? Just what we need more of! :D

Cheers
Stevo
