Initially '''SAR 858, 865, 866''' and '''867''' were based at '''Peterborough''' but '''SAR 865''' and '''866''' were transferred to '''Gladstone''' and in 1973 '''SAR 867''' was converted, by bogie exchange, to broad gauge (5ft 3in - 1600mm). This left '''SAR 858''' as the only narrow gauge loco at '''Peterborough''' from 1973 to 1988.<br>

ArrowLeftBtn.png   24   Peterborough Dieselisation  ArrowRightBtn.png
A scenario in the SAR Peterborough Base Session v2.0
Diesel services on the  Peterborough-Quorn Line  in the 1970s and 80s. Bottom

 The Historical Bit 

By 1970 the main  Port Pirie-Broken  Hill Line  had been converted to standard gauge (4ft 8½in - 1435mm) which isolated the  Peterborough-Quorn Line  from the rest of the narrow gauge network.

1970 also saw the removal of steam from Peterborough and all remaining narrow gauge services were operated by SAR 830 class narrow gauge diesels. Initially SAR 858, 865, 866 and 867 were based at Peterborough but SAR 865 and 866 were transferred to Gladstone and in 1973 SAR 867 was converted, by bogie exchange, to broad gauge (5ft 3in - 1600mm). This left SAR 858 as the only narrow gauge loco at Peterborough from 1973 to 1988.

The Working Timetable for the 1970s and 80s saw only two return freight services each week. One to Quorn and one to Orroroo. The Quorn service often terminated at Carrietone due to lack of goods to transport. it also required a crew change on the return trip at Bruce or Hammond. The relief crew were transported from Peterborough by a rail inspection car (see the scenario Rail Car Inspection Run) with the relieved crew transported back by the same vehicle.

In March 1987 the line from Eurelia to Quorn was closed. This was followed in November 1988 by the closure of line from Peterborough to Eurelia although excrusion trains from the Steamtown Peterborough Railway Preservation Society continued to use the line to Eurelia until 2002.

Diesels
 Era:  1970s, 1980s
 Duration:  XXXXXXXX
 Loco: 
 Consist:  To be attached to the selected loco

Location Index

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


Getting Started:
  1. If you have already closed the opening message window then the first step is to pause the session by pressing the  P  key.
  2. Next locate your loco. Either:-
    • Open the Finder Tool (press  Ctrl   F ) and type, in the Name field, the name of the selected loco - e.g. SAR 858. 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 858) OR
    • the driver icon (named Driver 858) - this is a non-animated icon
    then click the drivers Eye icon Driver Eye.png to take control of the loco
  3. Take a few moments to get your bearings. Click Peterborough Data (this link will open in this window) to show the location details and track plans for Peterborough. In each location details page:-
    • the Tab HM White.png tab gives an overall summary of each location with a "potted" history (where available).
    • the Tab TM Grey.png tab reveals the invisible TM Track Marks for Drive To commands.
    • the Tab IN Grey.png tab lists all active industries and their commodities.
    • the Tab SW Grey.png tab describes the names, locations and settings of all junction switches as well as some switch sets you may want to use.
  4. Each location details page has direct links to the adjacent locations so you can explore along the route.
  5. 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.
  6. Switch back to Driver Mode and either close the opening message window or press the  P  key to start the session.


Tutorial:
Tutorial A tutorial on using these scenarios is provided in the link on the left. The link will open in this window


Orders:
  1. Move the selected loco out of the depot and into the yard
  2. Couple to the consist waiting in the Peterborough  Yard 3  Road
  3. Procedd onto the  Peterborough-Quorn Line  according to the working timetable shown below for the selected train №197
  4. For train №197 turn the loco on the  WYE  at Orroroo
    Note: The  WYE  was actually removed in the 1930s so in reality the loco would have to run "long nose first" back to Peterborough (or "long nose first" up to Orroroo). As SAR 858 was the only narrow gauge loco based at Peterborough from 1973, this problem could not be solved by double-heading with another locomotive, but it is still an option in this scenario.
  5. For train №3 you may take the option to terminate at Carrieton

Driving Notes:

A summary of the facilities and product loads at all locations along the line is provided in the link Port Peterborough-Quorn Line

  • The approaches to all locations are protected by invisible signals to prevent the AI Half Speed Slowdown Problem when approaching a signal at stop.
  • Trackmarks and industries have been provided for AI Drive To Trackmark, Drive via Trackmark and Drive to  Industry  commands. Click Location Index for details.
  • Manual (no AI) driving is possible. As a visual driving aid, a Caution warning sign has been placed at the location of the Main Approach Dn and Main Approach Up trackmarks. Click Location Index for details.
  • If driving manually in yards, you are responsible for correctly setting any catch points.
