Era:

Duration:

2 to 6+ hours depending on origin and destination

Locos:

Available at Peterborough Loco Depot:-

SAR T 23	SAR T 180	SAR T 223	SAR Y 141	SAR 407
SAR 858	SAR 867

Consist:

Attached to SAR T 250

QLX Box vans	MTW Flat wagons	CCC Gondola wagons
Tank Fuel wagons	Guard Vans - one at each end
Waiting at Peterborough in Goods Siding 1 are:-
QLX Box vans	MTW Flat wagons
Each freight wagon in both consists has its destination as part of its name e.g. CCC Gladstone, MTW Terowie or QLX Port Augusta. The wagons have been grouped together according to their destination.

Each location in the layout has a detailed set of track diagrams that provide a variety of useful information

The Getting Started guide below gives a summary of what is available.

To display this information click any

graphic, or go to the bottom of the page for all the session links (all links will open in this window).

Getting Started:

If you have already closed the opening message window then the first step is to pause the session by pressing the P key.
If you decide to set the session clock to a different starting time then follow the instructions shown in the Orders section below
Next locate your loco. Either:-
- Open the Finder Tool (press Ctrl F ) and type, in the Name field, the name of the loco, in this case SAR T 250 (or just T 250 should be enough). Click the tick icon, OR
- Open the Driver List (bottom left of the screen) and then scroll through the list to find either:-
- the loco name (SAR T 250) OR
- the driver icon (named Driver 250) - this is a non-animated icon
then click the drivers Eye icon to take control of the loco
Take a few moments to get your bearings. Click (this link will open in this window) to show the location details and track plans for Paratoo. In each location details page:-
- the tab gives an overall summary of each location with a "potted" history (where available).
- the tab reveals the invisible Track Marks for Drive To commands.
- the tab lists all active industries and their commodities.
- the tab describes the names, locations and settings of all junction switches as well as some switch sets you may want to use.
Each location details page has direct links to the adjacent locations so you can explore along the route.
When you are ready to start, reload the Peterborough Base Session page (click the Scenarios button on your current location page) and select this Scenario again or just use the Back button on your browser - whichever is quicker.
