Australian screenshots

yeah very good effect. I have some slightly sunken rail on my route too but its supposed to be like that... I'm guessing yours is purely from lack of attention from the fetlers.

......or is it from the ocean washing up to the station depositing sand that caused it?
 
Hey all,

RY 467 hauling a pallet train.

However, the 385ton load was a bit to much for her once we started to climb the 2% grade and stalled halfway up.

Cheers.
 
G'day all,

...the entrance to the yard...

...now, some might wonder "how does he do it?", a question I asked myself when I noticed what it took to build a cattle ramp...

Well after going along to my First SEQTUG

I came away with some extra knowledge... new faces and names to remember, and had a great time..

I came home and did some work on route, after changing it to NG 3'6" a couple of days ago I had a problem with the Bridge I used, now with my new knowledge its fixed. (Just need to sort out getting it on the DLS so a few emails will be shooting off latter).

I have a visit from an old friend from NSWGR today!

Those guys from the workshop some how managed to get this STD G loco Running on NG, they are magical people. (I think a little fairy dust was used but what would I know)

The bridge had some major track work over night. Also the Fencing guys worked overtime to change the old fence to this new version.

Fisherman had a treat as the loco passed the only access to the Boat ramp.

K103 sits at the coal stage, whilst A2 986 blasts by with a Melbourne bound goods.



A short time later, we see the A2 with it's freight running alongside the road between Koo Wee Rup and Dalmore.

NSW SRA Widdin, 1988... 48's 165/01/36/45 on a seasonal wheat special.

(In 1988, 4836 still retained her 1980 anniversary livery - one of my old photos of this combo at Young, in NSW Central West, inspired this Trainz working).

Tallrat?? :hehe:

Lookin' good Stevo. I know you're messing with track heights, but I'm liking the scene with the rusty rails and sleepers in the brush. That's gold!

Just don't forget the frogs on the pointwork, champ :p

Yeah, there's no 'frog' meshes for that track, being a 'broad gauge' track (and 60lb 'scale' rail at that!).

That said, I do have plans here (note, this is a personal project!) to look at this area when that particular track set progresses :)

wow thats something I'll need to be getting into Frogs I will need heaps of them. 3'6" gauge please.. just send me 2 I'll breed em in the pond out the front...
 
Request and question....

Hi, sorry to post a request here in the Australian screenshot forum but I think this is seen better here than if posting my request in any other AURAN/N3V forum. Does anyone please have ANY pictures etc. of the tops ONLY of some of these locomotives. I looked everywhere on the INet with Google for some of these pictures and to no luck, these top pictures are mainly at the wrong angle or too far away where one can not make out much details on these. I have plenty of reference material/pictures etc. of anything else, it is what is (and how this is laid out) on top of these locomotives I would like to know (and need to know):

PN Class
PN 8000/9000 Class
GWA run, probably GWA Class, similar to STC/LDP Class
ARG Q 4000/AC 4000 Class
FQ01 (Freightlink) is an EDI Downer build locomotive
QR 6000
and any other similar looking unit you might think fits there too.

As said, I only need to know what the top looks like of these above locomotives as these are not seen in my neck of the woods where I live in Peterborough SA.

If anyone also knows about the SAR Bluebird 250 and 280 Classes, how the fans on top where laid out, with fan guards over like most other fans or just a mesh over their fans, how many fans and how the radiators looked like on these SAR Bluebirds. As well as how the engine and other underbody gear looks exactly, as I came to a standstill on these and I need to get to Adelaide one of these days to see if the Pt.Adelaide Railway Museum has these SAR BBs there. Rob Shaw's old SAR Bluebirds in TRS04 and another version does not show much of these details needed.

As I am being held up on the progress of the Bluebirds, have a look what I whipped up in just 3 days, these pics should also qualify to post this here in this screenshot forum:

Disregard some of the parts on it and the bogies, these are only there to get the SCT Class into TS09/10 and TS12 to run. I was lucky when one of the SCT Class locomotives was parked some months ago at the Adelaide Dry Creek Maintenance yard of EDI Downer, I was able to snap as many pictures as I wanted and there was even a scaffolding there to take as many pictures from its top as I wanted. The SCT Class and any other of the above units I will be building will be to the same standard as I usually build, as well as being Freeware, hence all these requested details are much needed.

My email address is: hrh1000(at)hotmail(dot)com

Thank you in advance for any help given as some of you are very avid picture takers and the above requested units are running in your state(s) of Oz and rarely, if ever, venture into my corner of SA. Only NR Class, SCT Class, DL Class and other old locomotives are found running around here. Any help given will also help you of getting to play with some of the most detailed and accurate available Freeware units from Australia. Which will be still up to date for years to come.

Cheers

The SCT class loco is the same model and design as the LDP/TT/WH/GWA classes of locos. below is the number of each that are or will be built pending adjustments to the orders.

15 (SCT class), 9 (LDP class), 25 (TT class), 3 (WH class), 9 (GWA class)

Cheers
