ArrowLeftBtn.png   18   Gladstone Local Grain  ArrowRightBtn.png
A scenario in the SAR Peterborough Base Session v2.0
A seasonal grain service collecting grain from local silos for delivery to Gladstone. Bottom

 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.

Gladstone Grain
 Era:  1960s
 Duration:  2 hours 30 minutes
 Loco:  The Loco Roster Label.png has locos available at the  Peterborough Loco Depot 

The Loco Roster Label.png has locos available at the  Gladstone Loco Depot 

 Consist:  To be attached to the selected loco

From Peterborough:-

  • 1 Guard Van in the  Peterborough Car Shed 
  • WHE Gondola covered wagons at Yongala, Jamestown and Caltowie  Grain Silos 

From Gladstone:-

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 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 Driver Eye.png to take control of the loco.
  3. Take a few moments to get your bearings. Click Gladstone Data or Peterborough Data (the links will open in this window) to show the location details and track plans for Gladstone or 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 Trainz Driver Mode
  7. Close the opening message window and, if Pause is shown on the screen, press the  P  key to start the session.
