 Orroroo Grain Run 
A scenario in the SAR Peterborough Base Session
October 1988 saw the last revenue services on the Peterborough-Quorn Line before it was permanently closed in November 1988. They were grain runs between Peterborough and Orroroo to clear the grain silos at Orroroo. By that time the main Port Pirie-Broken Hill Line had been converted to standard gauge which isolated the Peterborough-Quorn Line from the rest of the narrow gauge network. This scenario attempts to recreate something of that service although by 1988 steam had been retired from the line and all services were operated by (most likely) 830 class narrow gauge diesels. Bottom
Grain Run
 Duration:  2 hours 30 minutes
 Loco:  Any available loco such as:-
  • SAR T 23 on Peterborough Depot Siding 1
  • SAR T 233 on Peterborough Depot Loco Road 1
  • SAR 407 on Peterborough Depot Repair Shop Road 4
 Consist:  6 WHE grain wagons, 1 DB guard van on the Peterborough Grain & Flour Mill Siding

Location Index

Location Index		 Each location in the layout has a detailed set of track diagrams that provide a variety of information. The  Getting Started  guide below gives a summary of the information that is available.

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 T 23 (or just T 23 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 Peterborough to load its location details and track plans. In each location details page:-
    • the Tab PH Grey.png tab will identify the EIT Paths that are available if you wish to use them.
    • 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.
  6. Switch back to TRS19 Driver and press the P key to start the session.


Tutorials:
EITs A tutorial on driving manually, using the AI (Drive To Trackmark commands for example) and the Enhanced Interlocking Towers in these scenarios is provided in the link on the left. The link will open in this window.



 Tasks: 

  1. Move your selected loco onto the Peterborough  Grain & Flour Mill Siding and couple to the WHE wagons stored there.
  2. Move the train onto the  Main  Line and then onto the Peterborough-Quorn Line. Proceed to Orroroo.
  3. Move the train onto the  Goods  road to the  Grain Silos  for loading. Notes:
    • stop the WHE wagons and DB van so that they are clear of the  Goods Crane .
    • the WHE wagons are not industry enabled and will not actually load but because they are covered this issue will not be noticeable.
  4. Run the loco around the train to attach to the DB guard van at its rear.
  5. Detach the DB van from the WHE wagons and shunt the van onto the  Goods Loop . Position it alongside the Goods Shed.
  6. Turn the loco on the WYE. Notes:
    • The WYE was actually removed in the 1930s so in reality the loco would have to run "tender first" back to Peterborough - which was not popular with the train crews but is an option you can use.
    • If you have selected the Garrett Loco SAR 407 for this scenario then it will be too long to turn on the WYE.
  7. Coal and water (if needed) at the Orroroo  Loco Coal & Water  Stage.
  8. Attach the loco to the southern (Peterborough) end of the WHE wagons at the  Grain Silos .
  9. Shunt the train onto the  Goods Loop  and couple it to the DB van.
  10. Proceed to a vacant yard road at Peterborough.
  11. Run the loco around the train and attach to the DB van at its rear.
  12. Shunt the DB van onto a vacant road in the Car Shed.
  13. Reattach to the WHE wagons and shunt the train to the Peterborough  Grain & Flour Mill  Siding.
  14. Detach the loco and return it to the Main  Loco  Depot.

Strip Map
Driving Notes:
  • You do not have the authority to enter the Orroroo-Eurelia section of the line. All shunting movements at Orroroo are restricted to the yard area.
  • The approaches to all locations are protected by invisible signals to prevent the AI Half Speed Slowdown Problem when approaching a signal at stop.
  • Enhanced Interlocking Towers with set paths are available for your optional use at Peterborough (departure and return) and at Orroroo (arrival and departure). Click Location Index for details.
  • Trackmarks and industries have been provided for AI Drive To Trackmark, Drive via Trackmark and Drive to  Industry  commands. Click Location Index for details.
  • Manual (no AI) driving is possible. For those locations without home or approach semaphore signals, a Caution warning sign has been placed at the location of the Main Approach Dn and Main Approach Up trackmarks. Click Location Index for details.
