SAR Scenario Gladstone Pickup Grain

Revision as of 07:46, 1 November 2022

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

A seasonal pickup service Detaching 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.

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.
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.
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 Gladstone. 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.
