SAR Changes Log

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:-

 Port Pirie to Broken Hill Line 

Gladstone:  Grain silos have been added in addition to the grain terminal that was already present. This has altered track marks and switches as well as adding another interactive grain industry asset Water columns servicing the main running lines have been added Additional track marks have been added to some of the yards  Caltowie:  Grain silos have been moved from a siding onto the goods yard line with some track marks renamed  Jamestown:  Additional water columns added to the Station and Loop running lines Additional track marks have been added to some of the yards  Belalie North:  The Up Goods Siding is now a Stockyard siding  Yongala:  Grain silos moved from a siding to the Goods Yard with some track marks renamed An additional turnout has been added between the Goods Yard and the Goods Loop Yard  Peterborough West:  This is a new location not present in V1. A simple passenger halt with a basic passenger shelter and no other infrastructure. Its presence was identified in a single photograph but its exact location is educated "guesswork" Two track marks added  Peterborough:  Additional track marks added  Ucolta:  Additional track marks added  Oodla Wirra:  Additional track marks added  Nackara:  Additional water column and track marks added Goods siding added  Paratoo:  Additional water columns and track marks added

Yandiah was timetabled as a passenger halt even though it lacked any passenger facilities  Booleroo Centre:  A large grain terminal has been added to the end of the WYE with new track marks The goods facilities have been moved to the station road (as shown in photographs) leaving the former goods yard road as a grain yard road The water tower has been moved from the down approach to the yard area Water columns have been added to some of the running yard roads, each has a track mark A turnout has been added between the station yard road and the main yard road  Peroomba:  A passenger shelter has been added to the loop with track marks.

 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 original (unchanged) scenarios have been duplicated and 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.
