SAR Peterborough Base Session

Revision as of 08:56, 16 February 2021

A set of scenarios to use with the SAR Peterborough (Northern) Narrow Gauge Division layout for TRS19. The scenarios replicate, as far as possible, some of the operations that existed in the division from the 1920s until the late 1960s. All rolling stock, EIT paths and industry setting are provided in the session. There are no AI controlled trains other than those you add yourself.

Each location in the layout has a detailed set of track diagrams that provide the following information:-
Line Index	the names of the tracks, sidings and loops the location of various facilities - stations, turntables, water columns, coal stages, engine sheds, active industries the names of active industries and their products and consumables the names and locations of trackmarks for Drive To and Drive Via commands the names, properties and locations of track switches and lists of switch sets for particular movements Enhanced Interlocking Tower paths for those locations that have EITs

SAR T Class 4-8-0

78 were built between 1910 and 1917 specifically for the Broken Hill-Port Pirie ore trains where they dominated until the mid 1960s. They were regarded as one of the most successful SAR steam locos. 6 were sold to the TGR (Tasmanian Government Railways), a few were transfered to other SAR narrow gauge lines and 5 were temporarily converted to broad gauge (5ft 3in, 1600mm). The vast majority saw out their lives on the SAR Northern (Peterborough) Narrow Gauge Division. The last examples were withdrawn from service in the early 1970s.

Consumes: Coal and Water

SAR 400 Class 4-8-2+2-8-4

	10 of these oil fired Garratts were purchased in the 1950s specifically for the Broken Hill-Port Pirie ore trains and the Leigh Creek coal trains. Most had been withdrawn by the mid 1960s. The last was withdrawn from service in 1970. Consumes: Bunker C Oil and Water Bunker C Oil is available at Gladstone Depot and Peterborough (Main) Depot

A bulk fuel wagon.

Loads and Unloads:	Bunker C Oil
	Diesel
	Petrol

-Between 1917 and 1932 the '''Peterborough-Quorn Line''' was a vital link in the Transcontinental Railway between '''Sydney''' on the east coast and '''Perth''' on the west coast.<br>
-The '''South Australian Railways''' provided an express passenger service, the '''East-West Express''', that ran between '''Terowie''' and '''Port Augusta''' via '''Quorn'''. At '''Terowie''' it connected with broad gauge services from '''Adelaide'''. At '''Peterborough''' it connected with narrow gauge services from '''Broken Hill''' where there was a standard gauge connection from '''Sydney'''. At '''Quorn''' it connected with narrow gauge services from the '''Central Australian Line'''. At '''Port Augusta''' it connected with standard gauge services to '''Kalgoolie''', where there was a narrow gauge connection to '''Perth'''.

-Passengers making the entire trip from '''Sydney NSW''' to '''Perth WA''' would change trains 5 times - '''Parkes NSW''', '''Broken Hill NSW''', '''Peterborough SA''', '''Port Augusta SA''' and '''Kalgoolie WA'''. They would change track gauges 3 times (standard to narrow to standard to narrow) and have to navigate through 5 different rail systems ('''NSWGR''', '''Silverton Tramway''', '''SAR''', '''Commonwealth Railways''' and '''WAGR''') plus a taxi between two stations in '''Broken Hill'''. The entire journey from coast to coast would take 6 days, if all the connections were made.
-Today passengers can board a luxury train, the '''Indian Pacific''', in '''Sydney''' and travel the entire distance to '''Perth''' in 3 days without leaving the train.
