T413 leads the morning goods out of Shelley, having just entered the long down hill run to Beetoomba and beyond.

With the dynamic brake still whining, T413 picks up some speed on one of the faster sections.

Just outside Beetoomba, the T begins to slow to stop at the station for a few moments.

With no goods loading for Beetoomba today, T413 hurries out of the station to continue onwards to Shelley.

Wonderful screenshots Zec. Captured the Aussie bush beautifully.

After seeing so much modern transport lately, I sometimes like looking back to the bygone eras, to when I was a kid.

Back to the 1950s between Sydney Central Terminus and Redfern Station, 'Red Rattlers' were everywhere and yet sometimes you might be lucky to see a Silver U Set heading to a far away place.
Then there were the good old 'Railmotors' mostly on time, a little noisy, but always got you, to where you were going.

Thanks blueodessey. Azervich is right, the bogies I've made are 1067mm/3ft 6in gauge but you can easily change bogies in Trainz.

For loading gauge, this wagon is 9ft 6in wide, 12ft 2in high.
 
I received a PM last night from sum one here having trouble with one of my pieces of content and at the moment my putor is blue screening so I don’t have decent access to fix anything let alone run trainz,
Life has also taken an unexpected turn so I won’t be in a place to fix the putor for awhile so as far as my content is concerned ya on ya own sums for awhile fella’s sorry bout that.
Cheers Mick.

I'm sure that if that person was to post their problem here someone would be able to help them.

Hey Guys,,

If anyone is interested, today Sunday on SBS Viceland, they have the full train ride on the Ghan.

Some passenger views as well as cab views. Could be worth a look.

Cheers,
Roy

EDIT: It's 1:15pm and been going for several hours now.

Hi guys,

I'm the unfortunate soul Mick is referring to and the problem I have is with one of his creations - <kuid:287284:100270> Aus Relay Box Modern - which is used on Roy's Sydney Central & Sydney Harbour V4 route. Roy doesn't have a problem with it but my CM reports the follow:

; <kuid:287284:100270> Validating <kuid:287284:100270>
! <kuid:287284:100270> VE48: This asset uses an obsolete trainz-build number. Trainz-build numbers below 3.5 are no longer supported.
- <kuid:287284:100270> VE65: The *.texture.txt file is missing for texture resource 'map1.texture'.
- <kuid:287284:100270> VE65: The *.texture.txt file is missing for texture resource 'normal-normal.texture'.

! <kuid:287284:100270> VE109: The low-detail meshes total more than 500 polygons. This may have a negative impact on performance: 0: 1416


Can someone please advise how I can ‘fix’ these errors? I'm not worried by the warnings.

Thanks in advance.

Hey Ron,

I don't know whether this may shed any light at all.

I 'opened for editing' Mick's <kuid:287284:100270> Aus Relay Box Modern to see if there was something that may need updating.

The .texture.txt files are not listed and it does show Trainz build 3.1 as Installed Payware,.. and in exiting,... I used 'Revert if Unchanged' which still shows as 'No errors or warnings'.

So the asset is still usable.

Is it possible that 'Committing' the asset instead, might cause it to raise the error and warnings.

I've used much older assets in my route before. In fact in my latest route, of 2218 assets there are 357 with Trainz Build 1.3 and still functioning.

I like Mick's work, so if it can't be rectified at your end, just delete it. Mick also has a built-in scenery asset
<kuid:287284:100269> Aus Relay Box Modern which could be used as replacement.

Now I haven't seen this lately. The commuters in the NSW SRA SDS passenger cars got to experience a 'thrill-a-minute' as their seats pivoted and were exposed to the elements.

A quick replacement and they were on their way.

Nice shots Tim. Keep up the good work mate.

I've been doing a little work on a route I started in TS12, then imported into TANE.

It's purely fictional and based on a HO gauge layout I built in my basement back in the 1970s. It was designed around a single track that traverses the layout 6 times, stopping at 4 stations and every platform, and in both directions. There are two active industries that also uses the same track, with a couple more intended.

Here are a few screenshots.

X31 and VL356 prepare to depart the yard at Merriford with their loaded paper train, having awaited the arrival of the evening down passenger service...

Another Day another train
This time 23RM & 56MT that were assigned to Healsville, I know the model is of a 103HP it should be a 153HP but they are very simular there is the correct engine files on DLS and even though they Have standard gauge bogies still look good and ran ok.

Hi Roy,

I tried the Reverting if Unchanged but that didn't work so I did what you suggested and replaced it with <kuid:287284:100269> Aus Relay Box Modern.

Thanks for your help.
 
Nice screenshot Tim. At first glance I thought it may have been the 'Blue Suede Express' heading to Parkes for the Elvis Festival.

Cheers mate,
Roy
 
I was under the impression NSW crews were not fond of the mighty Xs :p

P18 leads X34 and X45 on a wagon transfer from Merriford. The latter of the Xs was in shutdown and towed dead.
