SAR Peterborough Scenarios EIT, AI and Manual Driving Tutorial |
A part of the SAR Peterborough Base Session |
Enhanced Interlocking Towers (EITs) are included in the SAR Peterborough Base Session (they are not part of the route or layout) to provide easier navigation in some of the more complex yards in the layout. The EITs provide paths into and out of the yards. In some cases they also provide direct paths through the yards.
Gladstone and Peterborough have each been split into two EITs because of the large number of paths at each location. |
Driver Commands are available for use in the session.
Driver Commands are optional, they do not have to be used |
Apart from the standard commands (Drive To, Load, Unload, Couple, Wait For, etc), additional commands have been added. Specifically:-
- IT SetPath (TANE SP4 and later) - to allow EIT paths to be set in the Driver Command Bar
- IT CancelEnhancedPath (TANE SP4 and later) - to cancel any set EIT path
- Instant Load Command - to instantly load all wagons (except locos) with the first item in their product queues
- InstantLoadLocos - to instantly load all locos (or their tenders) with water and either coal or bunker c oil
- InstantUnload - to instantly unload all wagons (except locos)
The Tutorial Scenario
The scenario used in this tutorial is Gladstone-Peterborough Depot Fuel which has the consist already fully assembled with its locomotive (T 258) at the starting signal of the Gladstone EIT Goods Loop to Broken Hill path. This tutorial will follow the scenario until the consist arrives at Jamestown.
