  2. If you decide to set the session clock to a different starting time then follow the instructions shown in the Orders section below
  3. Select a specific freight service starting at any of Paratoo, Terowie or Quorn from the timetable shown in the Orders section below.
  4. Next locate a suitable loco at the starting location. Either:-
    • Open the Finder Tool (press  Ctrl   F ) and type, in the Name field, the name of the loco, in this case SAR T 250 (or just T 250 should be enough). 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 250) OR
