the SMR 15 is starting to look good there Pete. BTW the main feature that identified the 15's from a standard NSWGR 30 calss was teh addition of some additional air resevoirs on the front foot plate - aparently the air brakes needed some help with non- braked trains. its just visible in this shot http://www.pbase.com/image/110945994 If my memory serves me right these were also fitted to 3013 when it was bought by Hepburn colliery (i'll take a look later _ I've a nice stduy of 3013 at hexham somewhere) and I may have some shots of SMR15 which shows it too

PS - found & posted another shot for you.. BTW the 15's did not have electric lights either

Hey dreddy, :wave:

Actually I was wondering something along those lines too How only a few people are actually posting screenies.
It seems like, we have less than a dozen posters since 2009 came out, and very few using 2009. However having said that, the quality of the posts are extraordinary!

Ive given up with trainz now, I can't be stuffed playing it much anymore
But i still annoy around the forums...

yes I was looking at those, they also fitted that to a 30 class they borrowed 3013 I think, but I will certainly include that,
cheers

EDIT tanks added

what do you mean given up!!!! I've spent weeks tracking down the mesh for the 40class and now you're giving up

3013 was actually bought by Hepburn colliery in 1967 to replace an unsuccessful import ( a stephenson's machine imported in 1955) . When Hepburn closed it was then transfered to the RVR at Hexham and ultimatley into private presvervation. Like the SMR 15's ( and the stephenson engine) it was fitted with two extra air reservoirs on the footplate either side of the smokebox to provide sufficient braking when running non air trains

The SMR' 15 class was introduced in 1912 with the arrival of numbers 15 & 16. a third, numer 29 was introduced in 1929. Intended for local passenger trains they replaced some earlier types including an ex NSWGR CC (Z13 ) class. The SMR lost its passenger cars to a carriage shed fire, and handed the Cessnock passenger services to the NSWGR who maintained these until the early 60's (it might be noted that a couple of 30 class tanks were modified with extended bunkers and had their boiler pressure raised to 180psi for the cessnock run). When the NSWGR ceased this operation, the SMR introduced a railcar service, but this service was abandoned after a couple of years.

In the meantime the 15's soldiered on, being the primary power for the local pickup good services, and assisting the 10's on the coal runs until the mid 60's when they too were set aside. one (# 16) was stripped of its boiler fairly early on, and its remains, togther with 15 and 29 were scrapped in 1973

Hi all,

A bit of an update on the MGFH. Progress has been a bit slow due to my busy life outside of trainz !

Seeing how things go, I might have a go at animated roof and dumping hatches, although I'm not sure which way the hatches operate as I've never actually seen the hoppers loading/unloading in real life !


Cheers,


Matt

Wait i changed my mind i love playing trainz
Although if you have already sent it i haven't got it yet ?

ok, tanks fitted on the 15 class, I have applied superscript to the 30 class for the running numbers and have limited this to the class members that were tank locos throughout their service life, so you will be able to place in excess of 60 locos on a route without a duplicate.

Anthony, no I haven't sent it yet but will tonight. I only managed to find it yesterday.

cheers

Stitched Track

Well, my first venture into one of TS09's new features.
Oh my eye's hurt from the track-lod-tree
I think 09 is going to sort the men from the boys in the content creating arena.

I. Love. Candy.

(Track looks pretty schmick too )

Best to use CCP for the track configs... It is much easier to see what is going on. Also, do a search on TrainzDev... There is a very good thread by MartinVK on there in regards to the track LOD's

Looking very good so far though!

Attempts to add some colour to the route. Just past (south of) Ingleburn Station about 10km north of Campbelltown. As I basically have a fresh installation of TRS2006 there aren't many good buildings to use.

Looking south of the station

Looking down the Glenfield - Ingleburn passing loop

Looking towards the start of the passing loop

I'm curious about what other proto route creators do in terms of copying the real time scenery. What sort of significant items do you try to replicate on the map? As this part of sprawling Sydney there is alot of housing, so I was thinking about copying the more important objects such as stations (will be very highly detailed) and nearby shops, plus some of the larger factories. Beyond that the route would have a more "rural" feel to it so it won't strain the computer so much.

Lastly... omgosh I need to learn how to texture better!

P.S - Only effects used on images was the Auto Levels in Fireworks MX and creating a narrow border.
