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. 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, for example 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 (e.g. SAR T 250) OR
    • the driver icon (e.g. named Driver 250) - this is a non-animated icon
    then click the drivers Eye icon Driver Eye.png to take control of the loco
  5. Take a few moments to get your bearings. Click Paratoo Data Ter0wie Data or Quorn Data (the link will open in this window) to show the details and track plans at each location. 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.
  6. Each location details page has direct links to the adjacent locations so you can explore along the route.
  7. 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.
  8. Switch back to Trainz Driver Mode
  9. Close the opening message window and, if Pause is shown on the screen, press the  P  key to start the session.
