To display the data click any Line 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. The first step is to pause the session by pressing the P key.
  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 406 (or just 406 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. Use the Location Index (this link will open in this window) and click on Paratoo to load its location details and track plans. In each location details page:-
    • the Tab TM Grey.png tab will reveal the invisible TM Track Marks for Drive To commands.
    • the Tab IN Grey.png tab will show all active industries and their commodities.
    • the Tab SW Grey.png tab will give you the names, locations and settings of all junction switches as well as some switch sets you may want to use.
  4. Each location page has direct links to the next 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.
