SAR Peterborough Narrow Gauge Division

Changes Between Version 1.0 and Version 2.0

Version 1.0 of the route and base session were created for TRS19 (SP3) and above. Version 2.0 of the route and base session were created for TRS22 (SP3) and Trainz Plus and above.

Most of the changes made to the maps, industries, switches and track marks between the two versions are due to more up to date historical information becoming available.

I recently gained access to a vast online archive of historical photographs and documents covering all Australian railways. As a result I have noted, in most cases, minor differences and, in a few cases, major differences between the details revealed in the archive and the original published material on which the Peterborough Division route was based. Those location where differences were discovered have been updated in Version 2.0 of the route, session and scenarios.

The changes made are:-

Port Pirie to Broken Hill Line

Gladstone:
	Grain silos have been added in addition to the grain terminal that was already present. This has altered track marks and switches as well as adding another interactive grain industry asset
	Water columns servicing the main running lines have been added
	Additional track marks have been added to some of the yards

Caltowie:
	Grain silos have been moved from a siding onto the goods yard line with some track marks renamed

Jamestown:
	Additional water columns added to the Station and Loop running lines
	Additional track marks have been added to some of the yards

Belalie North:
	The Up Goods Siding is now a Stockyard siding

Yongala:
	Grain silos moved from a siding to the Goods Yard with some track marks renamed
	An additional turnout has been added between the Goods Yard and the Goods Loop Yard

Peterborough West:
	This is a new location not present in V1. A simple passenger halt with a basic passenger shelter and no other infrastructure. Its presence was identified in a single photograph but its exact location is educated "guesswork"
	Two track marks added

Peterborough:
	Additional track marks added

Ucolta:
	Additional track marks added

Oodla Wirra:
	Additional track marks added

Nackara:
	Additional water column and track marks added
	Goods siding added

Paratoo:
	Additional water columns and track marks added

Peterborough to Quorn Line

Orroroo:
	A catchpoint has been added at the Down Goods
	Additional water columns and track marks have been added

Eurelia:
	Additional water columns and track marks have been added

Carrieton:
	Additional water columns and track marks have been added

Quorn:
	Added an ore crushing plant at the eastern end of the yard with unloading and loading active industries. Added new switches and track marks
	Extended line from Quorn east to Hawker and west to Woolshed Flats
	One goods siding road converted to a stockyard siding

Gladstone to Wilmington Line

Wirrabara:
	Stockyard added on a siding

Yandiah:
	Stockyard added on a siding
	Passenger Halt track mark added to main line. Yandiah was timetabled as a passenger halt even though it lacked any passenger facilities

Booleroo Centre:
	A large grain terminal has been added to the end of the WYE with new track marks
	The goods facilities have been moved to the station road (as shown in photographs) leaving the former goods yard road as a grain yard road
	The water tower has been moved from the down approach to the yard area
	Water columns have been added to some of the running yard roads, each has a track mark
	A turnout has been added between the station yard road and the main yard road

Peroomba:
	A passenger shelter has been added to the loop with track marks. Peroomba was timetabled as a passenger stop

Melrose:
	A grain silo has been added to a siding
	A goods crane has added to the goods road

Wilmington:
	A stockyard has been added on the WYE

Base Session
More rolling stock has been added.

Scenarios
Original Scenarios:

Most of these have been updated to take advantage of the changes that have been made to many of the location in the route. All the original (unchanged) scenarios have been duplicated and renamed to include V2 in their Wiki name and have had their links updated. In all scenarios a link has been provided to the original V1.0 version. Most of the scenarios have been provided with a sample timetable for one or several trains that could be run.

New V2.0 Scenarios:

The new V2.0 scenarios make use of additional rolling stock that has been added to the SAR Peterborough Division Base Session V2.0 and the additional trackage from Woolshed Flats to Hawker. Most have also been provided with a sample timetable for one or several trains that could be run.
