Jan-04-02, 07:45 AM (EST) "Here is a little bit of Australia." Thought some of you might be interested what you can do with Trainz, particularly if you have more time than an hour. Thought I would upload my "test Curves" layout so you can have as much fun as I have. 50 tiles big, 900 meter radius curves where possible and several hours to get around it...these infinity by infinity garages are cool
Thought you might like to see a tour, so I organised a Loco to take us around.
An 0400 start and all we could get was an old 44 Class, and we were not going Light Engine, we had to take a load as well..sih!
The train was waiting on the main, near the Consist Office, and the day was pretty dirty...Foggy and rain was near..Message Areas - "Here is a little bit of Australia." – image 1The night shift had 4460 all prepared, and as we departed on time, the rain came down. Message Areas - "Here is a little bit of Australia." – image 2 I mean how can you take photos in this?Message Areas - "Here is a little bit of Australia." – image 3 Doing the best we could, passing trough "Bottom Station" which serves a small railway town nearby and the Iron Ore Open Cut which the Railway also serves.Message Areas - "Here is a little bit of Australia." – image 4 This farmer is not getting much done todayMessage Areas - "Here is a little bit of Australia." – image 5 We approach the bridge which carries the spiral up onto the tablelands.Message Areas - "Here is a little bit of Australia." – image 6 and we are soon approaching the ore loader near the open cut.
This is a balloon loop.Message Areas - "Here is a little bit of Australia." – image 7 We pick up here and return some wagons to the repair roads at Bottom Yards. On the way we see the open cut.Message Areas - "Here is a little bit of Australia." – image 8 and come to an ubrupt end to our journey, when our Loco finds a track fault, that the navvies missed at the yard entrance.Message Areas - "Here is a little bit of Australia." – image 9 Next day the sun was shining. The 44 was back on the track, had been checked for damage, and at about 1800 hours we were off to do some more. The following photos do the layout credit without further comment by me Message Areas - "Here is a little bit of Australia." – image 10

strewth...Where did he come from? and the booms did not come down! Guess I better have a chat to the Special Ganger!Message Areas - "Here is a little bit of Australia." – image 17 and that is about the END. Hope you enjoyed..wonder if the XXXX is really cold over there...only one way to find out...
Good Night to you all.
