Nice stuff Ryan Mcc

As time has gone by for wellington as shown the old to the new at Paraparaumu.

Its sad to see Muri go I've got to say as I see a train pass any way.

One of the new matangi trains comes into Pram.

Later this month a DL 9020 with test car and DC

Hi Ryan Its nice to build routes and layouts but I would like to know how to make content for trainz as on my trainz content manager I've got some of the content you made can you please help me.

Banner indicator for Khandallah

Hi Ryan mcc can you please tell me the the name of these signals thanks mrrangi

 

[Ryan_McC]

Hi mrrangi

The banner signal is payware from a UK site called Railwaves. I've just combined 2 of them to make the double head type found in NZ.

Now, it's a common mistake made, but I don't actually make content for Trainz. I can't! I can only do enginesounds, hornsounds & tracksounds, but Fender and Bill69 are the masters that actually make the locos, wagons, etc.

Hi Ryan & mrrangi,

I can't take credit for making items for trainz. True I have done some reskins but never had any joy with Gmax or Blender. Fender and the late billegulla are the masters with rollingstock and locos.

Cheers,
Bill69

Hi Ryan mcc thanks for your help I've been updated my Jville route for the matangi trains. I've been looking for signals like that for a some time now and when I looked up indicators on the DLS not much came up at all. PS when i said I've got
some of your content I meant train sounds

New Zealand countryside.

Tui Breweries have these all over the place.

Cheers,

No shortage of signals at Waikanae

After 91km, most of which was spent above 80kph, the passengers of the Wairarapa Connection have arrived at Masterton.

 

[mrrangi]

Hi Ryan mcc I've got the banner signals but got mine as freewear at VSR.org.uk it just pays to look sometimes but thanks for your help. PS I like your train sounds by the way.:hehe:

 

[Ryan_McC]

No worries mrrangi. I bought the signals pack for my QR route, the banner signals just happened to get installed on the JVL line later

Now, some shots of my travels over the last few days. Train 237 with an all-Kiwirail DF/DX combo approaches Waikanae from the north

Through Kaiwharawhara, nearly home!

Yesterday morning's 08:12 service from JVL waits to depart

The same train, having reached sea level on the approach to Wellington

We see a double blue DC consist approaching Waikanae from the north at 9pm (Yes, 9pm. Better sky required)

NZR Ja

Great shots Ryan. Can I ask where you got that Ja with its distinct round tender.

 

[Ryan_McC]

They're payware, from Paulz Trainz, http://www.paulztrainz.myenet.info/inside/NZ.htm

Stumbled across them by accident, a very worthwhile addition to any NZ collection in my opinion, both yesterday and today.

 

[Laird]

NZR Ja

thanks Ryan. I don't mind paying for something thats well done.

 

[Ryan_McC]

Just one shot today, a Matangi set waits for the road at Wellington in the afternoon peak

Hey Everyone. I was just wanting to know, does anyone know where to find any NZ DEM's especially around the Bay of Plenty region?

Because I am wanting to restart my NZ ECMT Mount Maunganui to Kawerau on prototypical ground (if that made sense)

Cheers
