Australian screenshots

Grasshopper, that first shot near Waratah is scary! I've walked down that road, and that screenshot is so accurate... except I've never had the pleasure of seeing double 44 class on the north - seen photos, but never seen the actual spectacle :(

Really? I've seen them when LVRF were running that train in that combo (until 2004-5?) but I don't think the colour combos right, although I know they own (or hired) a reverse 44.
It used to come through Broadmeadow around 11.00 in the morning.
I'm glad to here the places are accurate. At the moment I'm prototypically naming junctions and signals so you won't be seeing any new locations (apart from the sections that are done but I rarely care to run to them) shown.

Daniel:D
 
They are mind blowingly accurate Daniel. You are a very talented modeller indeed. Keep up the great work! :clap:
 
Trainz 2010

gday all does anyone know if trainz 2010 engineneers edition will intergrate with 2009 wbe great screen shots by all its good to see the 44s back in action at least they are not deed and buried in this would i also uploaded a route to the download station if any has downloaded this could u please give me some feedback what u think of it and where i could inprove on future routes also if u would like to edit this route for inprovements i would not have a problem with that cheers glenn:)
 
Ha ha ha this going to make you laugh - anybody want to help me out - I do not have the content dispatcher on my computer anymore - thats the tool that spits out a CMD file in a 04. :hehe: :confused: :( :wave: :p

I'm very rusty on 2004. Is that in the Trainz_Asset_Content_Creation_Studio.zip? If so, I have a backup I could e-mail. But I can't find much else from my 2004 days.

I'll add one of a less exciting route than others at the moment. (Daniel):hehe:

This depicks the East bound Xplorer from Cowrie heading through Kangaroo Gap towards it's next stop at Wonga. This service had crossed it's West bound counterpart at Nonbina.

(sorry to keep posting) - but Matt, these are fantastic. I need some more everyday "street" content for close to the tracks eg, the straight section around Tuggerah. These are exactly what I need:D Congradulations on the marriage, hope the weddings is/was(?) great.


Thanks Daniel for the kind words (I got married last Saturday! :) ) , glad you have found some use for my content! Very much looking forward to the Short North when its released :D :mop: , the stretch between Waratah and Maitland is one of my most favourite spots in NSW for train watching :cool: !

Anyway I don't have any plans at the moment for more scenery as I'm currently back to modelling rollingstock, namely the CFCLA CQBY container wagons being my current project, (will post screens soon!)


Cheers, :wave:

ok rub it in David:o

Just a harmless joke;). BTW Pete, I've changed up the lighting a bit and I like it a little more. You were right, the pics were way to orange because I had the contrast alot darker on my screen, all fixed though.

I'll add one of a less exciting route

That screenie is great! Less exciting my arse. I love your use of the Jankvis' trackside grass, very realistic. That tree in the foreground is interesting:p
Try using a darker texture and colour under the trees, provides more "depth" and "shading." Thats just what I think, keep em' coming though.

Matt, I'm looking forward to these. Some new container wagons are defiantly in order. Maybe do a "gunmetal" variant without the CFCLA logos on so it can be ran with say 80s locos. I'd be happy to give you a bogey sound file to put on the bogeys. I have them on everything I run with, provides some more realism.
Once again congradulations on the marriage:D

End of my hijack.

The 9am Down Healesville Goods

Lets go back to the 1960s. It's an era of run down 4 wheel wagons and branchlines in Victoria, and the T class is the mainstay of these branchlines. In these images, we will be following a goods from Tarrawarra to Healesville.


To start our series of images, we see T376 coasting through a slightly run down Tarrawarra. The train isn't working hard yet, since the track is almost level across the Tarrawarra flats.


Further on, we see the T working hard up the grade to the tunnel. The train is now about half way been Tarrawarra and Healesville.


Having conquered the grade up to the tunnel, T376 rolls down the grade towards Healesville.


Having reached the bottom of the grade, T376 slowly rolls across the newly laid track, near the Donovans Road bridge.


Almost at journeys end, T376 has just passed the only signal at Healesville.


We now see the T shunting the train at Healesville. The driver will leave the two T vans on the crossing whilst he pushes the cattle wagons and liquid chlorine wagon into the stock siding. He will then put the T vans and IT wagons into the goods shed road.


Now in the goods shed road, we see the train rolling past the bulk loads elevator towards the goods shed.

The Healesville Ballast Run

Another feature of the 1960s was run down branchlines. These of course often meant that track needed to be replaced outright. On the up side of Donovans Road, just outside of Healesville, is just such a case. As part of this collection, we actually get to see some images of a ballast train assisting with these repair.


After having shunted the goods consist and assembled the ballast train, we see T376 sitting next to the loco shed prior to departing for the first ballast run.


In this next image we see the ballast train coasting down the grade from the Donovans Road bridge. It's only a short distance to the new sections of track.


We now see the train sitting at the edge of the newly laid track, whilst the crew prepare the ballast plough.


The final image of this set shows a very beaten, worn and patched QN36 dropping a load of ballast onto the track. The ballast plough will now help spread the ballast, and the track gang will then pack it under the sleepers.

Thank you for viewing :)

That route looks fantastic, great work

might have missed it but whats the span of the route and when could we expect to see it on the dls?

Great work, keep it up

actually I noticed the change in effect as well as the sky having a bit of feature to it and really like it, but deciided to keep my head down rather than cause afront which wasnt my intention. I just felt something was "missing", IMO it was the lack of features in the sky rather than the lighting,I know there are gray days we have plenty of those in the ACT, but there is always some feture in the sky. I'm ranting sorry, but your current screenies are even more pleasing than your previous ones. I might even have to load 2009 to use the layout, apart from the fact I now own two versions of trs I have never used

cheers

Bringing up a small issue, here guys. Last year someone asked about the missing QR C17 kuid 62909:17000-17001, and was told the creator would upload soon. I believe that there is still nothing on the DLS matching this KUID. Any ideas why?:o

Hey Zec
You need to make some W&W boards W - C 15KPH (Changeable) - NS -N to protect your work site

yes it was mentioned and i was the one that mentioned it. i will have to chase the creator up again and see if they will let another person upload them, but if you ask nicely i can let you have a copy of the missign files as i do have them and permission to hand them to those that require them. all you have to do is send me an email requestign the c-17 cab interriors.

cheers

might have missed it but whats the span of the route and when could we expect to see it on the dls?

It goes from Point Clare (south Gosford) to Singleton (upper Hunter) and I don't know how I'll release it. Maybe Singleton to Broadmeadow (w/Newcaste) and Broadmeadow to Gosford. They'll match up perfect though.
Umm time frame? Year 2050 haha. I don't know, theres alot of gmax things and I'm in no way looking forward to them:'(

Fair enough. btw, I've built it 06'. I doubt I'd bother with 09 because I've heard alot of bad things about it. Especially those trees, yuk.:hehe:

First screenie - guess where!

This is from a route I've been (slowly) working on since CE

Anyone care to try and guess where?
