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.<br>
 
+
'''A common example:''' The original track diagram showed no passenger facilities or grain silos at a location. This was contradicted by archived photographs and documents for that location.<br>
+
'''An uncommon example:''' At one location the photographic archives indicated that the original published track diagram had been flipped vertically. This was confirmed by checking that location with Google Earth.<br>

Revision as of 02:27, 17 May 2024

 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:-

 V2.0 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 V1.0 scenarios have been 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.
