SAR Scenario Livestock Shuttle

1. If you have already closed the opening message window then the first step is to pause the session by pressing the  P  key.
2. If you decide to set the session clock to a different starting time (for example: to match the train timetable shown below) then follow the instructions shown in the Orders section
3. Next locate your loco. Either:-
   • Open the Finder Tool (press  Ctrl   F ) and type, in the Name field, the name of your selected loco, for example SAR T 198 (or just T 198 which should be enough), then click the tick icon, OR
   • Open the Driver List (bottom left of the screen) and then scroll through the list to find either:-

   • the loco name (SAR T 198) OR
   • the driver icon (named Driver 198) - this is a non-animated icon

   then click the drivers Eye icon to take control of the loco.

4. Take a few moments to get your bearings. Click (this link will open in this window) to show the location details and track plans for Terowie. In each location details page:-
   • the  tab gives an overall summary of each location with a "potted" history (where available).
   • the  tab reveals the invisible  Track Marks for Drive To commands.
   • the  tab lists all active industries and their commodities.
   • the  tab describes the names, locations and settings of all junction switches as well as some switch sets you may want to use.
5. Each location details page has direct links to the adjacent locations so you can explore along the route.
6. 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.
