Affectionately known as the "Coffee Pot", '''SMC 1''' consists of an engine unit and a passenger coach. The coach is attached to the loco by a pivot beneath the firebox and the loco cab floor is part of the coach frame. '''SMC 1''' was one of only two units built. '''SMC 2''' went to the '''SAR South East Narrow Gauge Division'''.<br>
 +
 
 +
'''SMC 1''' spent its entire working life (1905 - 1932) based at '''Quorn''' where it ran weekly mail and parcel services to '''Hawker'''. It was also used on weekend passenger charters as far as '''Port Augusta''' and '''Orroroo'''. In 1932 it was placed into storage and then static display in '''Alice Springs'''. In 1984 it was returned to '''Quorn''' and fully restored to operating condition. '''SMC 1''' is the only known working example of its type in the world. It is currently used for passenger excursions on the '''Pichi Richi Railway''' between '''Quorn''' and '''Woolshed Flat'''.<br>
 +
 
 +
The line from '''Port Augusta''' to '''Quorn''' was closed in 1956 although the section between '''Quorn''' and '''Summit''' was still used by steam excursion trains from '''Peterborough''' through the 1960s. In 1974 the line to '''Summit''' was taken over by the '''Pichi Richi Railway Preservation Society''' and, by 1979, they had extended their operations to '''Woolshed Flat'''. By 2001 they had restored and reopened the narrow gauge line to '''Port Augusta'''.

ArrowLeftBtn.png   18   The "Coffee Pot" Special  ArrowRightBtn.png
A scenario in the SAR Peterborough Base Session v2.0
A passenger excursion in the SAR SMC (Steam Motor Coach) on the Pichi Richi Railway from Quorn to Woolshed Flat, stopping at Summit. Bottom

 The Historical Bit 
Affectionately known as the "Coffee Pot", SMC 1 consists of an engine unit and a passenger coach. The coach is attached to the loco by a pivot beneath the firebox and the loco cab floor is part of the coach frame. SMC 1 was one of only two units built. SMC 2 went to the SAR South East Narrow Gauge Division.

SMC 1 spent its entire working life (1905 - 1932) based at Quorn where it ran weekly mail and parcel services to Hawker. It was also used on weekend passenger charters as far as Port Augusta and Orroroo. In 1932 it was placed into storage and then static display in Alice Springs. In 1984 it was returned to Quorn and fully restored to operating condition. SMC 1 is the only known working example of its type in the world. It is currently used for passenger excursions on the Pichi Richi Railway between Quorn and Woolshed Flat.

The line from Port Augusta to Quorn was closed in 1956 although the section between Quorn and Summit was still used by steam excursion trains from Peterborough through the 1960s. In 1974 the line to Summit was taken over by the Pichi Richi Railway Preservation Society and, by 1979, they had extended their operations to Woolshed Flat. By 2001 they had restored and reopened the narrow gauge line to Port Augusta.

  2. Next locate your loco. Either:-
    1. Open the Finder Tool (press  Ctrl   F ) and type, in the Name field, the name of the loco. For example SAR SMC 1 (or just SMC 1 should be enough). Click the tick icon, OR
    2. Open the Driver List (bottom left of the screen) and select the loco from there - click the drivers Eye icon to jump to the loco.
  3. Take a few moments to get your bearings. Click Quorn Data (this link will open in this window) to show the location details and track plans for Quorn. 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.
