Australian screenshots

A preview of my new NSW layout "Nevertire to Warren branch" which will be completed and on the DLS in the next two weeks.

A 48 class pictured at Nevertire staff hut.
~image removed~

DEM based or freehand?

If DEM, i have a Dubbo-Nyngan map that is going nowhere fast; if you want to extend the route a little.

Nice pic.

Steve, beaut shot, ruined only slightly by all that blank grid in the background.

@c38nsw i know 3801 did not have the red flower on the nosecone it didn't go sowell when i tried to paint over it leaving an Ugly grey square.
@Steve I used the eyedropper in photoshop to get the grey and black from a color photo of 3801 in it's grey livery so it's about real as it can get.
You can both do all of the painting yourself(if pete lets you) if you like.
I might do again some time later. Now to do the candy C38's:hehe:

I could make a NSWGR C34 out of a C32 since Pete didn't try it
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_South_Wales_C34_class_locomotive link is for people who don't know what a C34 is
Sadly they were all scrapped with only 5 locos made:'mop:
On an off topic note the C38's can do 144 KPH in trainz cab mode not sure about real life.

Hi all, a little OT but having heard from Ghostryder (Scott) he is experiencing some computer issues and hopes to be back soon

Operating speed was 70mph (113km/h) but I have heard that some drivers have recorded speeds between 120-130km/h.

Thanks Matt. Yeah DEM based trying to match it to the prototype.
Planning on doing a trip down to Nevertire on the weekend to take more photos.

Need some help with the measurements of the track from the silo to the main yard.

Thanks for the feedback. Yep, gotta fill the blank area up with a few more things first. Just having some problems locating some photos of the area at this stage.

If you have any maps or info on the land and measurements that would be awesome.

Amazing what you can get them to do when you try. From what I have read/heard/experienced, lots of different things will exceed the specs if you give it a go. It just depends on whether they break or not and whether you will get the sack. :'( :hehe:

Might be before your time, but taking certain liberties with the control stand (I think it was) of certain classes of diesel electric locomotives (I think the 2100 class) and really getting them to get up and leap from a standing start...not that I'd know about them, but heard a few stories from certain people, about little 'shortcuts' they may have employed *chuckles*

C38's can do 144 KPH in trainz cab

160+ in real life across the nullabor once I believe it was the record in oz for many years

Quite an ironic name for a suburb in Brisbane at the moment...


A unit makes the stop at Alderley

Thought I recognised my old suburb, nicely done. Brings back memories.

hey ryan_mcc do you know where u got that emu from?

 

[TheWaluigiKing]

I have put a beta of my route on DLS. I will still work on it

 

[trainz89]

@Willem2, I was just in Cairns; loved every moment of it. I maybe heading up there in a few months, I am sure to call up patchy and see whats he is doing. I took the Sunlander back, thank goodness. I was involved in that gastly Mackay Tilt Train Crossing Accident. I am certainly having the Sunlander as my future prefference for travelling north until 2014 when she is replaced.

@ Colhad, thats my 2 of my favourite stations of the QR Network, and I regularly take the train from Alderley. Its unchanged and still original unlike the many stations on the network that have been upgraded.

We will be doing a version back in the steam era but for now cricketstar and myself are working away on the QR City Train Project, and I am looking forward to doing all the station fittings along the entire project.. I am going to be having ALOT of fun

P.S Its great to have the fourms back, I have a backlodge of screenshots I want to showcase, NSW, SAR-VR & QGR. For a certainly someone I have included 3801 :hehe:

One day bill, I'll have to borrow your notes, so I can build a decent 'consist' of the Sunlander set - great screenshot mate, although why they sent the Sunlander there...well - I think the driver is lost, don't you?
