That's exactly the one I was thinking of! Thanks.

Hey all, seeing some great shots recently 
Jake, you got to stop making me drool from that Deloraine based layout. Looks really similar, considering I used to live in Tasmania

Thanks guys for the help.
I know Cardiff Workshops made a model of the first bridge, is there a way I can get in touch with either Natvander or Davido to see what has happened to it?

G'day!
Haha. You got it. It is based off Deloraine. I used to live in Devonport, about a 45 minutes drive North-East of Deloraine so I thought "what better place to base a route off." Its part of a bigger route I have made, inspired by the Tasmanian landscape
Cheers!
Jake.
Hi Patchy
From what I can tell, they could haul a decent sized passenger train for their size. The M's were designed for suburban services, and some of those trains were amazingly long! That said, we're talking about relatively small carriages, and they were somewhat lighter than later designs The ABL's are 'standing in' for the earlier 'dogbox' cars (later lengthened, and modified, into the familiar electric 'doggies'), and are about 1 compartment longer thanks to the toilets. The other cars are typical, or semi typical though
The M's were rated a little less than the E's, and I've got photos of them hauling up to about 7-9 'dogbox' cars of varying lengths from memory, whilst the M's I believe ran about 5-6 cars. Their main issue was lack of range, rather than tractive effort, due to the tiny bunker That said, off the flats, she did struggle! The climb out of Lilydale particularly, you need to be on the ball with your fire there

Passenger trains are also harder to make heavy, Zec's train looks to be about 90 to 100 tons while on a 1in40 the M was permitted to take 120 tons.Zec,
Would that little steamer pull them carriages
Cheers,

This started out as a build I was going to finish for someone, but the original was more like a TGR M class. So it is a new build except for the catcher on the front, Cylinders and handrails on the back of the cab, which I kept from the old model. Some minor bits and pieces and texturing left to do.
We now have a TGR H class, a strange set up as the trailing bogie frame is fixed to the loco frame and does not move, but the wheels move sideways, which apparently is allowable in trs (thats up to Dave to figure out
) This will be a skinny rails only model. Now for the tender.
cheers

QLD Department of Natural Resources and Mines have recently made available free downloadable historical maps https://www.dnrm.qld.gov.au/mapping-data/maps/research-history/maps-plans. I have posted more information on Railpage http://www.railpage.com.au/f-p1956165.htm#1956165 to save space on this trainz thread.

The H class were 4-8-2 'Mountain type' locos, capable of pulling anything up hills. They probably did work some passenger trains, but mainly freight. Wonder if we'll see H2 as it was in the 80's
Looking good as always Pete.

Look here: http://online.ts2009.com/mediaWiki/index.php/"Bogeys"_container
looking particularly at the "rotation-permitted" and "sideplay-permitted" tags, these allow you to have a bogie that will move side-to-side, but not swivel, and vice versa.
Very useful things, if you ask me.
