Australian screenshots

Those would be mine :)

They're for TS09+ only, and are on the DLS. Search for the username S301, or click the DLS link in my signature.

Of yes, they'll be called VR or V/Line T class (S4). There's two V/Line and two VR versions, plus 3 fictional versions (Christmas, Austrains, and TS2009).

This years Christmas loco is a fully revamped Z526. This loco has 697 Christmas lights, some 'flashing' some static. It is seen here sitting in the shed in the late afternoon on Christmas Eve.


A little later in the afternoon, Z526 shunted it's train for a Christmas special. Once in the platform, we took the opportunity to move Tc2512 next to Z526 for a couple of photos.


A few hours later saw dark arrive, at which time we lit up all the lights on both locomotives. They really do look quite spectacular next to each other.


After having to shunt out of the ZR workshops, the Christmas special headed for the Sometown Carols. Here we see Z526 lasting away at the grade into Sometown.


Having made it's way into the station at Sometown, Z526 coasts to a stop at the platform.


After pulling away from the train, Z526 was put into #2 road to allow people to have a look around the loco.


Another view of Z526 at Sometown.

And, as I've done for the past 4 years, I will be releasing this loco. In fact, you can download it here.

Just a note, the loco and wagons (yes, those 4 and 6 wheel pass cars are included) aren't fully tested and do have bugs. I just wanted to have them available for Christmas day!

Enjoy, and I hope you have a Merry Christmas!

Yet another closed and forgotten branchline, left to nature to reclaim.

Merry Christmas, Everyone!

And Happy Birthday Jesus!

Hope everyone has a great day!

:D

Hey Mitchey.
I will join you in that wish, All the commercials are out there telling us its a holiday season, Xmas season deliberately inviting us all to their shops or place of business. XMAS cuts out Christ! so we can concentrate on spending up big!
The biggest present of all came 2000 years ago when that very special baby was born. A gift more important than anything "Hardly Normal" will ever sell us.
Happy Birthday Jesus :D

(for those that don't know " Hardly Normal" is a massive chain that sells electrical and white goods. Thousands of TV channels get flicked all over Australia when their bloody awful commercials are run 20 to the hour, on all channels 7 days a week)
For those who don't agree with the first part of the post, well here is the Commercial (Holiday) Version

Here's a route I've been working on, based around New South Wales scenery. :)
The Tawaloo Branchline bridging over the mainline.
