Ya know - I've often wondered how the engineers in double or even triple headers like above coordinated their throttle movements. Get a bunch of cowboys at the throttle and it would be worse then a hotrod demolition derby (or your local Interstate at rush hour, lol). Perhaps with small locos they could holler back and forth but I'd think any sort of radio system would be rare on a ng line. Any thoughts gents? Just curious.

I'm pretty sure they used whistle codes, and the loco with the biggest compressor ran the brakes.

At one point they all hang on the whistles. I think they're just having fun at that point.

Hadn't ever found the time or performance to run this gorgeous route, it's a lot of fun.

 

[normhart]

Yeah it is definitely one classic railroad and a classic route. I can not wait for TANE version.

Now that was one heck of an interesting video - mucho thanks. One a tank loco too.

On the lighter side I wonder what was in those two wagons that was so heavy it required 5 locos. Neutronium perhaps (ala SF movies and books). :hehe:

Nice shots. How did Prince cope with hauling three more carriages than it's rated for?

 

[trainboi1]

Very well. I wound up stopping at Tan-Y-Bwlch due to reasons of time, but Prince easily kept up with speed limits in all but a couple places.

OK I'll play.

TANE version hopefully on the way to the DLS later tonight if no more cockups found!

Excellent, I look forward to it as my new GTX 750 Ti is due to arrive Friday.

Good news! Unfortunately my FCT has just expired...

Hi Onestone
Greetings from Indonesian , Where i can get that Steam Locomotive ? Thank's Before

Hello @ ASM1995 - Important Addition: several narrow gauge locomotives, for example, the great U 46 901/902 and the great U 57 can be found at
www. trainzkatalog. websnado. cz - Menu, submenu - Uzkorozchodne lokomotivy (Uzkorozchodne = narrow gauge). Vagony = wagons. It may be necessary to Register.
Have fun.

You're absolutely right. I do remember that the whistle code to call up the guard was a cock crow in Victoria. Can't do that on a diesel.
Cheers,
Graeme.

@clam1952 Great shots !!

Before and after on the SR&RL

This was only about 2 or 3 hours of work, mostly bulk asset replacement. A very long way to go to bring it up to TANE standards.

 

[Matt3985]

Nice shots Norm, I'm still trying to get that route to show up in TANE.

(Have you noticed how many fruit SpeedTrees are on the DLS? Especially Apple trees)

 

[Matt3985]

Uh Norm that 4-4-0 engine in the last photo has no tender.... Nice shots. I wish that route could be updated and re-upload to the DLS because it was my favorite route to run the SR&RL and any other 2 foot gauge American engines I had.

I too have noticed that with the fruit tress. I guess the must be very popular type of tree there Norm.
