Going Postal

I've just uploaded a session for Riverside Railroad Company that uses this Czech steam locomotive:

The locomotive itself must be downloaded from:

Download 475.101.

Viktor and Jakub have the morning postal shift. Six loaded post vans are located behind the container depot.

The post vans must be in the eastern bay platform at Diaspar for unloading before 0730. To achieve this, sustained running at over 50mph is required.

Viktor and Jakub then pick up the log flats at Diaspar, load them at the log loading rack at Armour and unload the logs at the log dump at Matchless Timber. This can treated as a shunt movement - there is no need to run the locomotive round the train at Armour; it can propel the train back to Diaspar.

As usual, Class 1 railroad trains will be running on the main lines. They always have priority.

The map view is useful to locate the AI trainz.

Maps and a readme are included in the folder containing the session. The readme contains a detailed tutorial about driving this locomotive in Cab Mode.

Note that the injector will not respond to keyboard commands. Mouse control on the fireman's side of the cab is required to actuate the injector.

Also check the water level in the tender before departing Lys. Filling the tender at the standpipe at Lys Station may be advisable.

Hi Roy --

"Re the title, have you been reading Terry Pratchett again ."

Hmmm - not quite.

"Postal" was a sadistic and violent PC came that first appeared a few years back. If I recall correctly, Australia was one of three counties that baned it - the other two being China and North Korea (incidentally, this trio of liberal minded and democratic countries also censored Duke Nukem 3D - the bondage scenes). It was the best publicity the game could ever have hoped for.

Since then "going postal" has taken on another meaning - violent unprovoked rage.

"How's the Urban Ind extension coming."

A few things to tidy up plus the documentation. And what I'd really like for Christmas are these to run on it:

Hey Phil, you like em dirty right, well me too. I paid a visit to HOTTrainz site, do yourself a favour and look under Painted Grace and ZBF sections.

There's carriages and locos there that look like they've been sitting in a yard doing nothing for years.
