SAR Scenario Gladstone Pickup Grain

Revision as of 08:01, 18 October 2022

	18 Gladstone Pickup Grain
A scenario in the SAR Peterborough Base Session v2.0

A seasonal pickup service delivering grain to Gladstone from Peterborough and Wilmington.

The Historical Bit

The Terowie-Peterborough-Quorn Line was roughly the dividing line in the state of South Australia between the grain producing region and the cattle and sheep grazing region. West of the line there was enough rain to produce one crop of grain each year. East of the line the country was too dry for crops and could only be used for grazing.

The grain storage silos followed this pattern with many of the locations west of Peterborough (towards Port Pirie) equipped with grain loaders while locations east (towards Broken Hill) had only livestock loading facilities.

Next locate your loco. Either:-
- Open the Finder Tool (press Ctrl F ) and type, in the Name field, the name of your selected loco, for example SAR T 23 (or just T 23 which should be enough), then 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 23) OR
- the driver icon (named Driver 23) - this is a non-animated icon
then click the drivers Eye icon to take control of the loco.
