Small 14 board layout.

Tanvaras

Retired old fellow
Hello all,

A small by PC layouts go layout and session to pass some time. To clarify some peoples comments.

I have been playing around with some pictures of an old train set, point to point layout my father and I had many moons ago. If anyone would like to take a look see they are most welcome too. I have setup AI trains running point to point, with a freighter ready to go load its consist and haul it to its destination.

You can let the freighter run on AI as well and sit back and watch. Since I copied this from an old layout I had as a kid, I made sure it all ran via AI. But can take control of any train if you want too.

All dependencies are (Should) on the DLS, its only a 14 base board layout real scale.

UPDATE : One item may not be on DLS, which is kuid2:1854:1691:1 NSW G2 Goods Shed, ad602000 put out the other day, that can be obtained from Victrainz website. - No longer needed, but a great model all the same and worthwhile having in your items to use.

Let me know what you think of my little basic layout, I can handle severe criticism :p This was something I was tinkering with whilst doing a prototypical of my old area I grew up in and needed time out from it. So it may be abit rushed.

Built in TRS2006 V3335 and also tested in TS09 V38411 with no issues that I noticed.

Session running time should be about 30 mins give or take.

EDIT: New version due up on the 25th July all going well.

Some people have reported the AI is not working from the portals. Could you please let me know what version Trainz you are using as I tested it in Ts06 and Ts09 and both worked fine for me. There should be random Endeavour and 40 car consist + 4 x 90 class engines moving each way along the rail line at 15 minute +- 5 minute intervals.

This is my first half decent layout that I decided to actually release so the AI part is still a learning event for me. I shall do my best to sort it all out.

New link to layout and session file : Will be back up shortly.


Thanks to all that downloaded it and gave it ago, passed on issues etc. Thanks to all the people that make the great content for Trainz.

Two 'missing' items that CMP could not pick up, but I suspect really are on the Auran DLS, are as follows.

Unknown Location: <kuid:60723:1245>
Unknown Location: <kuid:60723:1246>

Both of these 'unknowns' are Davido's, but do not seem to exist on the auran DLS - I am also unable to find them as 'built-in' - or maybe CMP is just being narky.

I am not having any luck downloading the discrepancies from the DLS. I can't even get Billegulla's VR - X at the moment.

Very Frustrating.

Hello Storknest,

I shall look into that today, I thought I had replaced all the bits and pieces not on DLS, Looks like I missed a couple. It shall be sorted today.

Work has had me abit busy to work on my small layout for a few days, but I got time again now and shall get it back to how it should of been.

Cheers

I don't consider a 14 board "layout" small. Consider that one base board would fill a two car garage wall to wall in N scale.
 
In N scale, a baseboard is under 5 meters. I use N scale for my model train layouts because the baseboard is about the size of a large living room.

:cool:Claude
 
Compared to a real-life model layout, yes 14 boards isn't small.

BUT, Trainz has its own standards too. Considering some 30+ board routes out there with all their dependencies, 14 boards is small, probably small-medium. I think I once saw someone state they had a route that was 80 boards? How big in real-life is 30 boards?

Soooooooo, any of you know where I can get those 4 items I haven't found?:) I'm surprised there are user IDs in the 6 digit range starting with 8 and 9.

The above 3 are the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Vehicles, ( Really well done rusting old trucks, jeeps and excavators. They are not necessary and have removed them in the new version I am sorting out to save hassles on finding content on DLS etc. i'll see if I can find the website again, so you can grab them if you ever want to use them.

kuidkuid2:192081:14:1> portal manager is by Author brumfondel which I also got from the dls. So I am not sure shy you can not grab the two on the dls atm.



kuid2:71155:60001:4

Is a built in item for my TSR2006. I am using Trainz Complete collection, And using TSR2006 to built this layout.


Have to get the item from the VicTrainz site but all I can find are the forums.

On the forums is the sections for content etc, in there they makers have links to download these creations. But once again its not a neccessary item either, session will run fine without it.


I have been away on business and haven't had time to get the newer version up for anyone wanting to use it. I am quite confident it has no outside content now needed, As I myself don't like having to go all over the place for items etc. And I apologize for that as I tried to keep it simple.

I have a newer version nearly ready to go will post a link to the file as soon as I get it done hopefully today.

Cheers

Rusting jeeps?!?!? Don't remove them, I have to find those tomorrow! I could use rusting jeeps. And now I have words to search by, using Google and Dogpile with KUID #s didn't work, names might.

My TS2009 for some reason doesn't display DLS items beyond a certain day again. I've tried the website but couldn't find the portal manager by kuid, with a name, I'll try again tomorrow.

That last one, is Complete Collection this http://www.auran.com/auran/store/index.php?p=3&PID=174 ? If so, that may be why you have a Version 4 and I only have Version 3. That collection includes Routes 1, 2, 3 and 4 that contain content, maybe updated content not available publicly. I've run into this once or twice before where someone had an updated version of content that I didn't, I think you just explained this mystery to me. One time I got a route that used Kuid2:68787:25064:2, all I could find was Hotel Kuid:68787:25064 on DLS only. The Routes content might show up as Builtin but it isn't and not everyone has the Routes packs.
 
Hello Storknest,

Here is a screen shot of some of the Stalker vehicles, Shot doesnt do them justice, but they are nice models.

oooo i would like to have these vehicles

Updated Post 8 with what I found.
STALKER vehicles found.
Portal Manager appears gone.
Autopolit Command is locked into TRS2006, never carried into TS2009. Maybe I can change the KUID to the older one.

Thanks for locating the Stalker vehicles, excellent models.

Auto pilot I think the older would do the same.

I have adjusted a few things regarding Portal manager, Hoping to have new version available today. Kids have taking a lot of me time this weekend.

Just trying to weed out the hassle parts now and make it as best as I can all from the DLS. And all rules etc available both in Ts06 and 09.

Cheers
