yes they probibly are "LOL" I think I hacked my C17 wheels to get the BB on the tracks if you look back a few pages I am doing a new set for the B & BB bogeys and animation are not easy and for me the wheels come last I want the Loco/Wagon to function first before I refine it anyway its FREE!...

Thanks Mitchey, Scottling & Ausrail8040.

Scottling, I've been working on this since I got TRS06 (sometime in 2006) & only have Northgate-Caboolture to go.

As I work for QR, I am unable to share this route. Remember when a guy came onto this forum a while ago boldly proclaiming he was now a railway employee & was offering to share QR info to anyone who asked? You may also remember I told him where he'll end up if he did that - not in QR. I'm sure Lenice will agree with me on that one. If you travel on the train, you can see the same stuff that everyone sees and put it into your routes, that's all I've done. As anyone who has built a prototypical route will tell you, it takes a keen eye, a good memory... and Google Earth.

I'm not telling you where to go, just explaining how it is. I've started to put up these screenies because I'm proud of my efforts to date and people seem to like them (thanks guys). If you don't like them, so what? Also, as a tribute to all of the creators who created the content, to show them that it is used and appreciated. Also, I have learnt a lot of building techniques by seeing others' screenies and if someone learns something from mine, their Trainz experience will be more realistic. That's what this forum's all about after all.

PS Scottling, I DO so have Sonne03's brilliant catenary in places, that cab view Mitchey refered to has some of it lit up by the headlight, hehehe. It's just that rewiring hundreds of km's of line already built is a hell of a job and unless it's needed, I couldn't be stuffed. Hopefully there'll be some spleens coming along:wave:

Don't worry about time required for building your route - it will happen, and if you don't feel like building for a while, stop. You're not getting paid for it, it's a hobby.

Thanks for the kind words all.

Sorry to raise an old topic, I'd just like to clear my name (and get my thoughts known) being the "guy who would give QR info to anyone who asked".

I just want it known that I'd "see what I can do" (as was in the original thread I started), with every intention of clearing the disclosure with appropriate management and/or HR etc etc as required. Being a mechanical engineer, I've dealt with a few queries from the public on various matters, including information that, personally, doubted would be disclosed when in fact it was.

QR are, to my surprise, quite often happy to keep the railfans happy, to a certain extent, and I see this as QR extending respect to all railfans. Of course, there are the cowboys who'll put their lives in danger in order to get the moneyshot, and these are the ones I worry about... not because they're obsessive, we just don't want them putting their health and more worryingly, lives at risk. As long as you're pursuing what you want through appropriate channels and everything is kept above-board, everyone, I woudl imagine, would be happy.

QR does, as any organisation who undertakes major projects, have IP policies in place to prevent sensitive information from being disclosed, and I had absolutely no intention of breaching these, at least without appropriate approval.

There, a big weight lifted. Thanks for listening.

Thank you Garrad,
for taking the time to reply. I have worked for the Railways in Victoria 30 years before retiring ill health in 2000. I have never heard of anyone being in trouble for sharing information, and I have at least a dozen replies from QR over recent years, that have helped me with my model railway too.
Asked to use their paint schemes on a model.. no problems!
Asked for better plans, than were otherwise available, referred to the right person, given a price for copying and mail, and received them 5 days later.
Auran themselves have been assisted by their State Railway QR.
Anyway like you said, old news, and glad to see you are still employed :hehe:
Cheers
Rod

I dont see any reason why you think there is a need to "clear your name" You have principles you live by and you show you are not prepared to comprimise those principles. I think everyone here respects your stance. There are, some younger users who show the obligatory impatience that comes with their age, but it is your content and your decision. I have lots of models etc that I have never released and probably a lot that everyone else wishes I had'nt.

The point is, it is your decision and you do not have to explain it to us. The fact that you chose to, is evidence that you hold us in regard. The fact that most people here have not badgered you over it is evidence they hold you in regard.


off the soapbox,,,, happy birthday ghosty

cheers

[scottling]

Thank you for the compliment Commissioner. Just quietly, it was an as built 1720 on the point .
Anyway, here's an EMU departing Domestic Station for Roma St early one evening

Ryan

Hey Ryan, I hate to ask, but is this available, or one of your own creations that you can't release?

 

[lenice]

Scottling,
I think I can safely say, the train is on the DLS, the track/layout is on his computer.

[Mitchey]

Hey again!

Hi all!

Sorry, been away from the forums a while. There are some nice screenies out there!

I have returned to the forum after a week or so inspired after taking a trip to Toowoomba and Spring Bluff for the Carnival of Flowers, which was rather enjoyable, if I may say so, except for the gusty and dusty weather...

Sadly, I didn't see any trains until returning to Brisbane... Oh well...

Oh! And one other thing... Happy Late Birthday, Ghosty!

An up EMU at Virginia. Love that JCS track!

BB18 1/4 heads past a rather sad looking Eagle Farm (Airport) station,

heads around the loop at flat, boring (for most) Pinkenba, before heading home.

 

[taggy]

A superfreighter headed by 4468/4810/44235/4422 is put in the refuge at Nonbina whilst awaiting the express to overtake.

Nice shot by everyone. Daniel, superb as usual!

I would find a place for it - will you be uploading it to DLS?
