This is just a simple place where RBR people can leave short messages about what they are up to etc…

Hi Andrew.
That’s OK by me. I don’t have much time to run over it properly, but if I find anything amiss, I will let you know. I wanted to try out the Altona layout but with the HTML missing it was a non event.
I will keep an eye out for it to appear.
I have noticed that Murchison ll doesn’t appear as it used to.
That is unless I have loaded it wrong. -
Andrew All downloaded OK
The session shows the nasty red cockroach and also a window “No valid HTML asset found”.
Looks like the html is still to be loaded up.
SP1 sure made a mess of my 6.4 and I have requested it be removed from the DLS-
Thanks Norm and John. The map must have been put up at the same time as the session. It was only when I deleted it from the Installed tab in CMP that it showed in the DLS. Yes, the errors are there because the HTML file is missing. This contains all the instructions so hopefully it won’t take too long to be approved.
Andrew -
Norm, I don’t think Auran will remove anything from the DLS. Once it’s on there, it’s on there for keeps. Anyway, pre SP1 users may still want to play with it. As for 6.5. I’ve only had a quick skim (even that took ages) to bring it up to date and there is bound to be other things that need to be fixed. It is rather cumbersome for both of us to bring out update versions, so how about keeping 6.5 as the official SP1 version? Yourself and anyone can let me know what fixes are required. I’ll the upload the fixed version and obsolete the old. That way the name and kuid remain the same apart from the :1, :2 extensions etc.
What say you?
Andrew

-
Hi Andrew, downloaded the new RB 6.5 without problems, also, my earlier report of the missing catenary in 6.4 has been solved and I now have it at Columbia and presumably all the way to Hunter.
Also downloaded your scenario, but a report of an unknown item kuid 90608.100007, and a red bug when I tried to run it. Presume this is the missing HTML file so will wait for this to appear on DLC. John. -
Just finished updating T12 with SP1 and 2 hot patches.
Had to reinstall T12 and then loaded the upgrades before running it.
Still updating the database at present.
Be ready Andrew when you are.-
Uploads have been approved and should be on the DLS within 24 hours. Greg, when you uploaded your Cattle did you upload the HTML separately or was that included with the Session? My HTML didn’t show in the ready for upload list so I assume it is already included in the Session. When you have SP1 up and running have a look at ECML with ‘Edit Session’. You will see what I mean about improvements. No need now to start at the end and work backwards. Start at the beginning and when you complete a section just indent the parent rules one to the right and all the child rules will follow. The parent will be flagged as an error but this is ok. This has the same effect as commenting out a block of code that we’re used to. When finished just indent the parents one to the left and all is restored.
Andrew-
Andrew, the first time I uploaded my Session to the DLS, I uploaded both the Session and the HTML as one group (it was an option). After that, when I made a few changes, I uploaded them individually. I don’t know why your HTML wouldn’t show up as ready to upload, unless they hadn’t finished ‘authorizing’ it.
Thanks for the hints!
Greg-
Thanks Greg, There is another method of uploading with SP1. You can upload from the Get New Content box. You can’t browse for files and don’t need to save them as CDP’s but are presented with a list of your own content (Sessions and Maps) and you select from that. I’ll see what transpires when the map and session arrive at the DLS. If the HTML file is not included I can always upload it with Planet Auran.
Andrew-
Update. The Session ‘Altona to Port Hunter’ is on the DLS but the map ‘Razorback Railway v6.5′ is not there yet. The HTML file hasn’t been included in the SP1 upload so i’ve just sent it with Planet Auran. Another few days wait. Ho hum.
Andrew
-
-
-
-
-
Ron. I am in the process of doing this myself.
Unfortunately the original download of SP1 was corrupted so looks like a repeat performance tomorrow. -
Looks like I might have to install a clean T12 and patch it up and leave my existing one as is so I can still run the old RBR stuff!!
-
Yer. Could it be the light at the end of the tunnel. I doubt it.
Probably a train coming the other way -
Larry, you are trying to educate a natural hoarder.
I just can’t bear to throw anything (that may be useful one day ) out.
and I regularly scavenge the tip.
As a member of the local Men’s Shed I have a licence to recycle anything that is dumped.-
Just a quick straw poll. Has anyone got TS12 SP1 with the 2 Hot Fixes installed?
The reason I ask is that SP1 trashed Norm’s Classic 6.4 update quite badly. I have fixed this into Razorback Railway 6.5. I have also written a Session (yes, me!) for it taking 1 hour 40 minutes.
If the interest is there I’ll put the Session and the map up to the DLS. Would the map update be ok with you Larry?
Andrew-
Sure put it up … so far as Trainz
no windoze here no more-
Thanks Larry, will do.
Andrew
-
-
I did have SP1, but took it out again because of all the problems. I am quite prepared to to have a re-try with the two hot fixes if you have RB working with 6.5. Always willing to look at a session- they are my lifeblood!!!
John-
Hi John. I was anti-session for years as they were far too difficult to devise anything beyond a simple A to B run. SP1 has changed all that. With a vastly improved ‘Edit Session’ it is much easier to come up with more complicated stuff. In spite of myself I’m becoming a bit of a fan! I’ve sent the route and session up to Auran and all being well will be on the DLS in a few days.
Andrew-
Thanks Andrew, I will keep an eye out for it. John
-
Humpf .. you mean they have finally realised the editor was a load of crap and fixed it … sheez wonders will never cease
-
-
-
My experiences with SP1 have been disappointing. In my case anyway, there was no way for stuff I created pre-SP1 to work post-SP1.
I am installing a clean #49922 which will then be updated to SP1 and both Hotfixes.
I’d love to give your Session a run then.
Greg
-
-
-
Not only no idea but it is a case of if it don’t work, chuck it in the bin and buy a new one.
I brought home a 12″ metal cut off disk saw from the tip last week. Smelt OK and I tested it and found the switch was full of gunk and stuck in the off position.
Cleaned it out, fitted a new power plug and took it up to the Men’s Shed and now we have a good metal cut off wheel.-
Even if I end up ‘wrecking’ it I always have a look at stuff, might help with something else later.
-
-
Good to see your just about back to ‘normal’ Norm
and your not wrong about the young ones these day they just don’t have any idea 
-
Wouldn’t ya know it. Ordered some parts from Jayco on 3/5 and the same day sent an order to China.
5 days ago received the Chinese order freight free.
Today received the Australian order $7.00 freight and to top it off, a 3.5mm line socket with an internal short.
Another $1.95 down the drain.
Have sent them an email but I think it will be a waste of time.
Tricky Dicky at Echuca used to sell all this stuff once but I was told”We don’t sell that rubbish any more.”.
So i guess I will have to wait until i go to Bendigo again unless the local Computer Tec happens to have one.
BTW I called at the local TV shop and asked if they had an 100MF 16Volt electro capacitor a couple of weeks ago and the reply was “What is a capacitor?”.
Talk about modernization.
Ya just can’t win , can ya! -
Will take about another 2 to 3 weeks before the bruising completely disappears and then the specialist will have another go at it.
His office girl rang yesterday to see how I was coping.
I still have slight split vision when I look hard to the right but apart from that I am back to normal or as my better half says ” As normal as can be expected”. Thanks for asking. -
Norm, hows the eyes saga?
-
Well done John Glad you and the cows enjoyed it.
As for the cows, well that’s an udder story.
I won’t tell them if you don’t. -
Loc27 completed in 2004, all cows transported and happy – just as well they don’t know the meat works is just around the corner!! John
-
Argue not with dragons, for thou art crunchy and go well with brie.
-
What a nice little piece of philosophy to start out the day with!
-
-
Pleased to be of help, John. Yes, we are all grateful that Norm is still willing to keep us going. Best wishes, Peter
-
Thanks Peter, that worked a treat, also thanks Norm for an entertaining scenario. Suprisingly, Duel ran with hardly a stutter in 2004, but when I tried in 2006, it took for ever to get the thing to start, kept stopping and eventually had to use ctrl/alt to close it down!! Recently my old Nvidia failed, and I have installed GE force GTX 660 from giga byte to replace it. long live 2004!!!!
John -
Dear John, I got the same virus warning but, on Norm’s advice, I suspended my Norton virus protection while I downloaded the .exe file. This worked OK and my computer hasn’t suffered anything for the excercise. Regards, Peter.
-
Thanks Peter, I will try that and see what develops.
John
-
-
Thanks for all the help guys – yes it is Janus and not Jason!!! I did try the .exe file, but Norton said it contains a virus and immediately deleted it. Did that three times!!!! I am just reloading trs2006 from my archives and will see what happens there.
John -
Hi Norm, have just got around to downloading LOC27 Cattle Run, however, have a problem. Although it appears in trs2004 in World/Dispatcher/Downloads, it does not appear in the scenarios screen (LOC25 & 26 do). I ran Jason and am told there is a missing item, kuid 59904:1001 MsgLib.
I tried redownloading without success. Any ideas? That kuid does not appear in the download station.
Thanks, John (marjon)-
Hi John,
I don’t have that kuid in TRS2004 but it is present in TRS2006?? So no idea what’s going on with your install?
Cheers
Ron -
Hi John
Jason is for T6 . Argus is for T4.
KUID 59904:1001 MsgLib is included on the compendium and i is a RBR download which is not present on DLS, only on the T4, T6 compendium
Perhaps you may have downloaded the T6 cdp file by mistake instead of the T4 exe file.
The cdp file can be loaded into T4 by setting installer to trs4 but I don’t think it would run.
Being more of a writer than a fixer, that is the best that I can suggest. -
Hi Again John.
Just downloaded the cdp version and set it to load into T4 and I had the same result as you.
Ran Jason and the same kuid was shown as missing.
Deleted the whole thing from Downloads in T4 and then downloaded and ran the EXE file and ran Argus again just to see what happened.
As the cmp setup was still set to T4 it appeared in Argus with nothing missing and as usual Janus showed up at the end of the installation and also showed nothing missing. and LOC27 showed up in the scenario OK
BTW make sure, if you are loading into T6 that you alter the installer to show T6. -
Have a third try and maybe, just maybe, I will get things right.
JANUS IS FOR T4
ARGUS IS FOR T6.
New I could do it if I tried hard enough.
Whichever way, I managed to duplicate your problem by downloading the cdp file and putting it into T4.
Sorry for the stuff up.
-
-
Well, there ya go and I was thinking that I was the only one with that problem.
-
Have to keep them happy Norm, way to go.
-
Have spent a peaceful Sunday Arvo running Loc27 to completion, it ran well had a bit of fun trying to
find the 18th wagon at each end, success in the end. I enjoyed it. Thanks again Norm
Ted

-
Hi Norm.
Have downloaded Loc27 Cattle Run loaded ok, run as far as loading cattle then missed a wagon so I will
have to do it again sometime, no problem so far, Good one Norm and Thank You.
Ted.-
Hi ted .
No problem, just glad you are having fun with it.
Just wait until you have all 18 wagons loaded. Tat is when you will need to be careful.
BTW If you don’t get all the cattle loaded on the first try , there is no reason why you can’t move back and forward until all wagons are loaded.
There is really no reason to start again.-
Hi Norm,
Thank you for that, I was going to do that but S.W.M.B.O. found another job for me to do so that was the end of running Trainz for the day.
Cheers
Ted.

wishj. Try saving it and then execute it from there.
As for Loc25&. I have no idea what that means. -
Norm(locoone) thank you for your reply have downloaded loc27 successfully however having problems with loc25 & 26 Download gives me two options open or save I tried open and get a WinRAR screen ??? what do do next regards John (wishj)
-
John you will need the T4 and T6 compendium loaded before any of my stuff will work and then it is just a matter of downloading the “exe” file and running it.
-
If you want to do something nice click the Kiva link and either lend someone $25 or send me a gift card to lend from within my Kiva
-
Allow me to add my support to your post. After seeing your Kiva link on RBR I looked into it, joined, and funded my Kiva account with $100. Since then, I have made 6 different loans of $25 each, all funded from the initial deposit. As loans are repaid, I just lend it to someone new. Using this method, I am able to keep funding loans indefinitely, without it costing me any more than my original deposit.

-
Enjoyed the latest addition to the 2004 Scenario List. By the way, when does One need to “kick the tin” again to be able to keep accessing all this new info ? Cheers Mal.
-
Hi all, finally reloaded tr2004 and RBR I have tried to download Locoone new scenerio LOc25 without success do i have obtain additional software regards John (wishj)
-
Hi was a member of razorback rail for many years have a new computer and have reloaded trainz 2004 and RBR how do go about loading Norms lastest creations wishj
-
That’s about it Larry.
So I guess I will just have to write it off as one of those things. -
Thanks Larry.
Actually should be 18 wagons. I made a slight boo boo.
Saw the specialist today and My eye will recover in about 3 weeks, then I will have to make an appointment and he will do the job in Bendigo where he has properly trained staff.
Apparently the injection went into my eye muscle which caused all the trouble.
Can happen on occasions .
As soon as you talk about compensation they all cover each others backsides.
Solicitor reckons that I will be wasting my time and it will end up costing me a lot of money…..which I don’t have.
Such is life.-
Yah .. who was there to note what actually happened, statisically you can say almost anything is reasonable to happen.
-
-
Norm, all tested and report sent (email)
Ron -
Ron, you should have email
-
Received thanks Norm and will report back once tested.
-
-
Dear Norm and Greg, thanks to you both. Regards, Peter
-
Peter, I guess he best thing to do is DON’T let an intern do the job even if she is a grouse sort. The thing was that after the bad experience I had with the other eye when i was injected into a blood vessel in the eye and although I felt nothing, I could see the surgeon inserting the new lens and was talking to him most of the time. Actually quite interesting.
The surgeon told me about a week later that I was barely under anesthetic and he was of two minds to continue the op or not.
This time he sent me to a different Dr for the anesthetic check up prior to the operation vowing never to use the other Dr again.
The new Dr assured me that nothing would go wrong this time and then he allows an intern to do the most critical part, the “blocking” injection.
This injection completely disconnects the two eyes so that there is no fear of movement during the operation.
It was totally stuffed up and I am still getting around with a beautiful shiner and split vision, two days after.
Hopefully things will come good again by Sunday and I will again be able to drive the car -
Thanks, Ron. Regards, Peter
-
So sorry to hear of your bad experience, Norm. Now you’ve got me worried. I go through the same procedure in about three weeks. Best wishes, Peter
-
Greg, please remind me where I find the DLS (download station?). Last time you were good enough to send me the file by email. Thanks, Peter
-
Peter, in addition to the information Ron gave you, you can also find it using Content Manager in the game. If you already have the session installed, it’ll show up there as “out of date” and you can download the update from there.
Greg
-
Norm told yah don’t go near hospitals bad things happen… Hope it settles down when your eye has a chance to settle down.
-
An update regarding my TS12 session – it is now available on the DLS, and it’s been updated (updated version numbers to 3.6). Just search for “Murchison Cattle” and you should find 2 results – the session and the HTML file. Have fun!
Don’t try it on a patched TS12 – for some reason, it doesn’t work on an SP1 system.
-
Oh, Norm! How do you keep your sense of humor after all of that? I think I’d be on the phone with a lawyer before the anesthesia wore off.
I hope your eye recovers such that they can do the cataract surgery. If the trainee shows up again, tell her to go practice on a stuffed animal or something. -
Petrol money ….your joking. All I got was a cuddle from the intern, which I must admit was rather nice. I have to go and see the specialist tat Bendigo on Monday to see if any permanent damage has been done and I will take it from there.
Don’t know if the hospital is going to charge or not just at the moment.
They had better not. -
Gees Norm, your not having much luck are you
Given that it was the Dr’s fault any compensation e.g. petrol money/ allowance for lost time etc?
Did they give you a future date they would do it? Or are you now back on the waiting list?
Cheers
Ron -
Opps! hit the wrong button.
To continue.
The anesthetist turned up proceeded to put anesthetic into me via the shunt.
Strange, I thought this didn’t happen last time.
He then fitted me up with some sort of pressure mask around my eye which I had expected.
I eventually dozed off and was awakened by the surgeon and he was looking at my eye.
After returning several times he refused to operate on it as it was too badly bruised and so I was sent home to have the operation some time in the future.
What caused the bruising you ask. It was caused by the anesthetist allowing the learner to give the blocking injection into the eyeball and she botched it up.
I saw this anesthetist last week and he assured me that there would be no problems.
So much for some doctors. I know she has to learn to do these things, but not at my expense.
The result is that I came home and went to bed at 7PM. Was in pain most of the night and now, the following day have split vision and the only way I can stop myself from being sick is to keep my right eye closed.
Hope things will be better tomorrow.
One thing is I now have 2 keyboards to type on. Makes it a bit difficult as one keeps moving around.
Such is life.
Norm -
Went to Echuca hospital yesterday at 12.15 PM for the cataract removal.
Singed in and was taken into the day surgery area.
Took off shoes and stripped just leaving my underpants on and donner the back to front white clobber.
Laid down on the bed and was administered drops in the right eye .
One every 10 mins ans another every30 mins. Stung a bit but not too bad.
Then a very pretty trainee DR slipped a shunt into my left rist.
Slipped, did I say . Actually she had about 3 goes before she got it right. Hell that hurt. The shunt was ” Juet in case we need it later”
Eventually I was wheeled toward the surgery and by this time my right eye was completely numb. -
Hi Larry, Hope all goes well for Helen and fingers crossed for the result.
-
Yes Norm, good luck! You’ll be seeing better than us lens-wearers once you get done. Greg
-
Good luck with the cataract op tomorrow, Norm. Best wishes, Peter
-
Greg, Dimbulah might need your excellent instructions on importing CDP files into Trainz. Regards, Peter
-
Peter, since you had no trouble with them, I just copied them and pasted them below. Hope that helps…
If you’re not familiar with how to import a CDP file, try this:
Launch Trainz Simulator 12
Click on Content (should open Content Manager v3.6)
Click on File, then click on Import CDPs…
Move to where you had stored my CDP file and click on it, then click on OpenGreg
-
-
Greg,
Completed in CAB mode without any problems. Well done and look forward to some more Ron
-
Excellent! I’m glad it worked well for you. Thanks Ron.
-
-
Hi all,
Just got the CD and need some help.
When trying to load CPD to TS12 I get this:
“Error: Unable to open CDP file ‘D:\TS12\Razorback Railway v6.3.cdp’ for reading”
How do I fix this.Also no session’s in TS06 work I get these two messages:
Product Filter: DoseAceeptProduct> Null product,
Create Train Failed,
I have down loaded all missing assets and fixed the faults but still no go.Thanks for the help,
Dave. -
Greg, finished O.K. – nice one. Used the “save” also.
-
Thanks Trev – I appreciate the comments.
-
-
Greg, just run your activity. Well done! I don’t know how to do what you do. I just enjoy running them. I hope you are inspired to try another one. Best wishes, Peter.
-
Thank you Peter! I’m glad you liked it.
-
-
Regarding the SP1 Patch for TS12, be very careful! Make sure you have a backup of your entire TS12 folder as well as all of the original installation files.
I installed the patch on one of my TS12 test systems. I ran a QDR and an EDR, had all the DLC content (including Murchison 2) downloaded and installed, and then obtained all available content updates. What I was left with was hundreds of items with missing dependencies that weren’t missing anything before the patch, hundreds of items ‘open for edit’ that weren’t open for edit before the patch, and many hundreds of items considered faulty that weren’t faulty before the patch. All RBR activities were listed as faulty or missing dependencies.
Interestingly, my most recently released TS12 Session showed with no missing dependencies and no errors or warnings, so I thought I’d try to run it. I clicked on Routes, and the system hung (not responding) for no less than 10 minutes before the list of routes appeared. I started my session, it loaded OK (albeit a bit slower than usual), I selected DCC, and got in the cab. No DCC controls in the lower-right corner. Had to quit the attempt.
Other problems have included system hangs (CTL-ALT-DEL to kill the process), and crashes to desktop.
I gave it 3 days, and I’m not giving it any more. I just deleted everything, re-formatted the drive, and will be installing T12 Ver #49922 again and leaving it there. There are over 40 pages of forum posts about the problems with the patch.
Larry – it sure looks like you got out of business with them just in time.
If you try the patch, I wish you luck.
Greg
-
Greg – Downloaded and installed O.K. Did a quick check run for a couple of minutes. Looks great!
-
Glad to hear that Trev. I always get nervous at roll-out time.
-
-
For those who may be interested, I have completed a TS12 Session that uses the Murchison 2 – Standard layout and is about 45 minutes long. I tried to build the Session with the “look and feel” of an RBR activity, but using the Session Rules has some limitations. I had asked Andrew to “Beta” test it for me, but his TS12 got stuffed by the application of the TS12 patch. So far, I’ve been lucky enough to avoid that patch. I’ve run the Session on a few different systems without a problem, but you know how those things go. Once it gets out there, all kinds of things can happen.
I don’t know how Norm got his files to be hosted here, and I don’t know if mine is even welcome since it’s not an RBR activity, so if there is any interest, drop me an email request and I’ll send you a copy. gmumbach at yahoo.com (omit the spaces and substitute @ for at) On the other hand, if I am able to make it available here, just let me know how.
Thanks!
Greg-
Greg,
You have mail Ron
-
Thanks Ron – so do you!
-
-
-
Nah! just checked. Groundhod day is Feb2nd,
Hmmmm! maybe he just likes the warmth of the burrow? -
Thanks chaps. Could be Erbie has gone to ground as I think it was just “Grounghog” day
-
Sorry to hear you are not your usual self, Ted. Had a bit of a fright myself a few weeks back. One doesn’t want to admit that we are not getting any younger, but we all put on a “brave face” to keep things on an “even keel” Positive thinking and a daily dose of “TRAINS” seems to work for me. Cheers Mal.
-
Good Luck Norm, have run Loc 25 and Loc 26, both very good, having a few health issues myself at the moment, looks as though ‘Erbie has gone to ground for a while, no doubt he will reappear shortly.
All the Best
Ted. -
I’ll do that Ron and thanks to you for your wishes and also the other folks as well .
Gee it’s getting to be like old times with ‘Erbie bobbing his cranium up.
Have a dig at Larry ‘Erbie and make my day complete. -
No Ron just to Echuca .The problem is that our great Shire will only take me to Bendigo and the chap that took me last time has just had an op on his shoulder and is at present in Queensland and unable to drive for about 4 weeks so I will have to get someone else to take me over and wait for me.
What really worries me is that I will have to leave Alma at home on her own.
Her sister was going to spend the day with her but she is sick now .
I guess it will sort itself out… somehow.
Glad you had a good time in the big smoke. Crown is a great pllace although I haven’t been there for several years..
My next effort on the Dual is up to build 191 and I am not a quarter of the way through it yet.
Keep making clerical errors as vision is not the best.
Such is life.-
Just take care of yourself mate and worry about Trainz when you are up to it – your health has to come first.
I’m off to visit the in-laws this weekend with the wife and son. Have to get the winters supply of wood ready as FIL now in a nursing home and MIL is on her own. Another round trip of 1400klms coming up.
-
-
Nice to see you back ‘Erbie. Have missed your frivolity
.Norm, just back from Melbourne having spent the weekend down there catching up with some friends we met on our trip to Canada back in 2010. Had a great time with them enjoying a very nice meal at the Crown.
Hope all goes well with the Op later this month (do you have to go into Melbourne?).
Ron
-
Good luck with the op, Norm. I understand it’s a piece of cake these days. I hope so as my cataract op is on May 15. Regards, Peter
-
G’day, Herbie! Great to have you back on the scene. Best wishes, Peter
-
Thanks Norm – another good one! Good luck with the eyes.
-
G’Day Herb. As you can see, most of the old stayers are still here. Thanks to Larry , I have been able to put up 2 new T4/T6 scenarios and , hopefully, more to come.
Andrew and Greg are working on projects in the background and we should hear more from them soon.
Just post your comments on here, even have a go at Larry if you like and knowing you, you will.
Good toi hear from you and keep the ball rolling. -
Things seem to be back to “pretty well normal” Old Farts like me really enjoy the 2004 Scenarios ! Onya ! Norm ! Back to my old self ! Happy “as a pig in Shit:!! Cheers Mal.
-
G’day ‘Erb, glad to see you are back again, I’m still here, just about.
Ted. -
Hey Norm! I just had a run with LOC25 on T4 – very nice! I can’t believe the pace you’re keeping! LOC26 is released now too! Heck, we’ll be looking at LOC99 by Christmas.
I’ve been playing around with T12 Session-building lately. I’m trying to put together something that resembles RBR activities in function and presentation, but that uses the rules available in T12. It’s a work-in-process at this point, and while it will never be the same, maybe it’ll be something T12 drivers could enjoy. The storyline part is complete – now I have to figure out how to add some AI trains. My problem right now is lack of time, but I’ll keep trying.
Greg-
Hi Greg.
Thanks for the comments.
Don’t think I will get as far as LOC99 , but you never know.
I have a cataract op coming up on the 24th of this month and that will slow me down for a bit.
At least I should be able to see the keyboard after that.
Just keep plugging along as you get time and you will get there eventually.
It’s nothing for me to have around 120 builds before I am satisfied.
I have completely left T12 . As soon as the site went down that was the end of things there so I dug out an old T4/T6 compiler and upgraded it to work for me and just went to it.
Larry has been very helpful by promoting my efforts on his sight for those interested to download.
Keep at it and you will succeed.. I am working on a NG cattle train at present and am up to built 71 and haven’t left the yard yet.
Such is life.
Norm

Thanks Peter. Hope you enjoy it.

Completed in CAB mode (T4) and nothing serious noted except that the Xing trigger at Aversleigh does not ‘activate’ after you couple up the second part of your consist and depart for Friedman. Apart from thatt all is good.
Will run in T6 tomorrow and report when done.Ron
-
Ok thanks Ron.
Don’t think there is much I can do about the Xing.
At least, if you don’t whistle the second time, you won’t get a blast for it.
-
-
Thanks John.
That’s fixed it.
Now I will see about writing an RBR Dual scenario.
Probably do a cattle or log run on the NG.-
Pleased to be able to help – look forward to the new Dual run with great anticipation!!! John
-
-
does any one remember what we had to do to fix semaphore signals in the RBR dual layout.
The arms of mine are all white. I know there was a fix for it but can’t remember.-
You need to download from the DLS the following kuids: 4468:24700,24710,24770,24780,24800 and 2:4468:24720:1
I think they are all VR signals

Congrats on the patent Larry, well done

Happy (belated) Birthday Erbie
-
Congratulations, Erbie. Have a great day.
-
It’s Erbie’s birthday. Happy birthday mate.
-
Thanks John, glad everything works.
Andrew -
Fancy another Scenario? How about 3 more?
I’ve given up trying to write a new one for Rosworth Vale. Too many incompatibility issues. This is from Scenarios I had on the DLS in pre RBR days. It is a complete package i.e. All Amsterdam 2 route, all content + 3 Scenarios. It is too large to to email so here is the link to download the zip file from the free Dropbox site.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/82909539/All%20Amsterdam%202.zip
Trainz won’t let you unzip directly into the downloads folder so unzip it to some other temp folder. As this is a complete package I would suggest, to prevent content conflicts, copying the unzipped folder into an empty TRS2004/World/Dispatcher/downloads folder. So first move your existing downloads folder to somewhere safe. It only takes a few minutes and if things go wrong you can always move it back again.
Launch T4 and if the Scenarios don’t show in the Scenarios page, delete the chump file at TRS2004/Cache/world_cache_Dispatcher.chump.
It works also in T6 but with the usual sound problems. Use CMP/File/Import Content to import from the unzipped folder. I’m not sure if it’s advisable to move the local folder to prevent content conflicts as in T4, perhaps Ron knows best.
If this works out I have a number of oldies for you to play with.
Andrew-
Thanks Andrew, Downloaded everything as per your instructions and then moved my download folder back. Everything present and correct, and the Amsterdam trains work as they should. Great to have something new in trs2004

And very impressive the weather station is, too, Larry. Regards, Peter

Weather station is back

Glad you liked it John.

Just completed LOC25 -Thanks Norm – its great to be back. John

Thanks Norm – just like old times.

Hi trevh
Don’t know how long I will be able to keep it up though.
LOC26 coming up shortly.

Norm, St George’s Day, for the English, is the 23rd April.It seems to be a bit of a damp squib as you seldom hear anything about it. It is not even a public holiday though I think there are moves afoot to make it so. These English (oops! smack on the wrist there from my English friends across the water) don’t know how to enjoy themselves. I was going to make a snide remark about Mummers but realised we have them in Ireland too so I better keep schtum.
Andrew-
Maybe they just like snakes!
-
-
OK Malw. Glad you got things sorted. You indeed need to wait for the auto change.
-
Please disregard my previous post. Have just played your Scenario again in DCC Mode and did not have any problems. I think I caused the other problems by changing Cabs manually, instead of waiting for the auto change. One should never mix water with diesel fuel ! It “buggers” things up !!! Sorry about that. Cheers Mal.
-
Have just attempted your latest creation and have stumbled upon a couple of problems. All is good from Hunter to Friedman. From Friedman signal signage and actual signals do not correspond; several signals throw up as “red” but don’t actually exist ! Got to the Mill without getting “the sack”, loaded all wagons but didn’t activate the “check” signal, went through the reloading procedure, still didn’t get the OK. Thought, well maybe I can run the red and it will change ! Bad choice ! Got the sack !. By the way I was playing in CAB mode using the RD Unit. Has anyone else had a problem ? Cheers Mal.
-
Hi Andrew.
Boy, that was more that a slight slip of the pen. Actually I meant St Patrick’s Day.
I should have followed it up with “May you be in Heaven 10 minutes before the Devil knows you are dead.”
That’s what my brother in law used to say.
His name Barny O’hehir.
I believe, his family originally came from county Cork.
Suppose it would have been worse if I had wished you a happy St George day, if there is such a day? -
Hi , Have been away on hols in Tassie for a while, looks like I have been missing out on a new activity Loco 25
, have found where it is and downloaded it but not yet installed same which I am about to do when I get off of here.
Cheers
Ted. -
Thank you, Norm! There is life after death. I have LOC25 all OK and I’m looking forward to giving it a run as soon as I have a spare moment or two. Best wishes, Peter
-
Norm, sorry to sound all schoolmasterish but St Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland and his day is the 30th November. I know you mean St Patrick’s day, today the 17th March. Downpatrick where ould Paddy is reputedly buried is only about 15 miles away but I won’t be going near the place. It will be jampacked with parades, floats etc. Our politicians abandon Ireland today and head over to the States to hob-nob with the President and other politicos, drink green beer and wear the shamrock. I have trod the soil of ould Ireland for over 68 years and have never once seen shamrock growing wild. Funny that.
Andrew -
Happy St Andrews day Andrew.
-
Count me in, Norm. I’m looking forward to LOC25, too. Best wishes, Peter
-
Just send me the file I will put it in the bucket then all you need to do is givemthem them the link
-
OK Thanks Ron. I will now see about circulation.
haven’t heard from provider yet-
Norm,
Shouldn’t think you need to go to your provider re making a group mailing.
I had a grand total of 7 for Karrah Bay.
Andrew -
Norm,
I agree with Andrew – it shouldn’t matter to your provider unless you have some kind of metered services. With my Yahoo email account, I can send countless emails with attachments as long as the attachments fit within their limits.
Looking forward to LOC25! Glad to see you are continuing with activity creation.
Greg
-
-
Norm,
Have run LOC25 in T6 and completed in CAB mode without any problems.
Ron -
Greg. Don’t really know as yet.
I was going to announce it here and collect email addresses from those who want it and then send a group Email on a certain date.
have contacted my provider re this and, so far, they haven’t replied.
Norm -
OK
-
Norm, when you release your new T4 activity, will it be found here somewhere or will it be downloadable somewhere else?
I’m just wondering how you’re going to make the file available for distribution. I’m playing around – developing something for TS12 as a Session. When it’s done, I’ll need to find a place to host it, unless I put it on the DLS.
Greg -
OK Ron. You have mail.
-
Norm,
Have received it ok and hope to give it a run tonight (busy putting up a new pergola – 57 sqm – plus painting the inside of the house).Ron
-
-
Ron. Did you get my LOC25 download?
I have an updated version ready.
Norm-
Hi Norm,
No, nothing received?
Ron
-
-
Thank you all for your comments and emails. This runs only in T4. For some reason a trigger and trackmark wouldn’t show in T6. Also an AI refused to budge no matter how many times I kicked it.
Have started a new one for Rosworth Vale.
Look out for Norm’s one. It’s a corker.
Andrew-
Have just finished playing your latest creation. Thanks for “stoking the fire” in RBR 2004, it has always been my Favourite. Can I assume that there will be more to follow ? Andrew you have made my day ! It would appear that Norm has something in the “steam pipes” as well ! The anticipation of new Scenarios is giving me “goose-bumps” Go for it Fellas !! Cheers Mal.
-
-
Ran Karrah Bay without any issues, Andrew. More details via email. No signal problems anywhere.
Greg -
Hi Andrew,
Have run through as far as Haley River and run into problems with a red signal. Have sent an email detailing the problem.
Ron -
Andrew, works well.
-
Been very quiet here lately. If you want to pass 35 minutes driving a new scenario then email me at andrew dot hetherington1 at btinternet dot com. This is very much pre Larry and uses the .gs format and the T4 built-in route Wadalbavale to Karrah Bay and built-in rolling stock. A bit basic but better than nothing. Subject your mail with ‘Karrah Bay’ so I know it’s not spam. Norm and Greg, I have your addresses so I’ll send it on. Size is 1.16MB and is a CDP.
Andrew-
Hi Andrew,
You have mail.
Ron
-
Hi Andrew
Great.
Somehow, I knew you would come up with something.
I hope to have mine ready within the next 2 days.
Depending on temperature.
38C. in here at the moment.
Norm.-
Hi Norm,
Yeah, warm here too @ 37C – ben oustide pulling down our old pergola ready to put up a new one (after 23 years) plus some painting.
Ron
-
-
-
Ron Yes i am working on a new scenario for T4/T6.
Up to build 146 and not half way through as yet.
As to releasing it I am going to announce the release on here and state a certain date together with my Email address.
The idea is to make a mass distribution on that date.
Don’t know how it will work.
I was going to put the hard word on you when finished to beta test it for me.
At present I have 3 Ai trains that just refuse to move but I will sort that out sometime in the future.
Actually, it is a bit of a change from having problems stopping them.
Norm-
Hi Norm, (Locoone)
That is news “1000x” thanks to you because I do miss RBR activities very match!!!
And also thanks to all the other people who will not give up.
(sorry for my bad English hi-hi)Greetings Rob. (RBR nick name Aglo)
-
Norm,
Look forward to testing it as I haven’t done much with trainz since the demise of the RBR, although I did purchase Joostens (Roy) payware Canadian Rockies route and it has to be one of the best T12 maps I’ve come across so far and some extremely good scenery (check out the screenshots over at Auran).Ron
-
-
Look forward to it Norm, I have been following the conversation, myself I’m staying with the old T4,I am even
making my own new layout……as time permits.
Ted -
Hi Ron
OK .
I hope to have a new T4/T6 ready within the next week.
Norm-
Norm,
I take it you mean a new activity? Do you need it tested or are you just releasing it? How will you release it?Ron
-
-
Well bugger me just made a post about the Avatars and they ‘miraculously’ reappeared ?
-
I note the Avatars have gone walkabout again??
-
Hi guys. The electrified section runs from the 2 signals just out of the Columbia yards and ends a couple of hundred meters past the end of the Hunter platforms (about 1/2 way down the slope towards Port Hunter.
I too had missing track at Aversleigh but have replaced that and am in the process of replacing stations that are not passenger enabled.
Haven’t looked at either the Norris Green or Lewisham extensions yet so it will be awhile yet before I finish going over all the map.
It’s a pity Zec and Brian (Ozboz) didn’t get the rehashed map done for T12 before the RBR closed .Ron
-
Hi Ron
The electrification ends as you have indicated in both the T4 6.2 and the T12 6.4 and is marked by “Limit of shunt” signs in both versions
Also the track near Aversleigh is also sometimes missing in T4 6.2 version.
There is also a section of track in the T4 version that goes missing on the down side of Fullerton, I think.
Along there somewhere any how.
The only station I changed was Apollo Bay as it was in a complete tangle.
The enabling of stations was controlled by the T4 coding which I was not authorized to alter.
Basically, all i did was to untangle the track and I don’t think that i missed any of it.
Replaced the speed warning signs as they were causing “stackdumps”
Put a new line across from before Friedman and Aversleigh.
As for Ozboz and Zec,as far as I know , Brian has left account illness and the last i heard from Zec was that it was at least a year away.
When you are making any alterations you should remember that Jenolan still owns the copyright to this track layout.
Norm-
Hi Norm,
Yeah I know Larry has copyright I’m just changing stuff for my personal use
-
-
-
Hi Greg, yours is correct. All I have on both computers is pylons and wire in Heathcote, Goodman, Abercrombie, Fullerton, Forsberg and Hunter Stations plus the river bridge on the Hunter side of Abercrombie. Nothing in the other stations, and nothing between stations apart from a white and grey dotted line. All the pylons and wire appear in Content Manager under Installed. I have tried deleting them and re-downloading, but this doesn’t do any good. I am puzzled!! Regards, John
-
Hi Norm, I have been running an experiment. I bought a copy of TS2012 that NV3 have been offering for the 10th anniversary edition for $25 (sorry no life DLS voucher!!!), I loaded this up on another computer, upgraded it and then loaded RB 6.4. Believe it or not, I got the same result – no catenary on the Hunter line!! So it is not my computer – incidentally it runs Train Simulator 2013 with no problem. I have also recently had to upgrade my video card to a GE Force GTX660, I am wondering if those who haven’t found a problem have not in fact been down the Hunter line, or are not into catenary track. Odd, but there it is. Cheers John
-
Hi John, I’m not sure I can help, but I got into the route for a quick drive, and then used the free-floating camera to take a look. From Hunter station, I have catenary coverage to Forsberg, Fullerton, Abercrombie, Goodman, Heathcote and Columbia. It ends there. In the other direction from Hunter station, it ends just outside the station.
Is this what you are seeing? I don’t know how it should be, so I don’t know if it’s complete or not. Maybe I’ll take a look at my T4 installation and see what the classic layout looks like there.
Greg
-
-
Thanks Norm, will wait and see if anyone else has the same problem, and if they have been able to fix it. John
-
Hi Norm, Yes I did do the download trick originally, and several missing items reappeared, I also removed the loco, I have just deleted and re-downloaded 6.4, but the forests are still missing as is most of the catanery on the Hunter Line (just a few masts in a couple of stations). There is also a piece of track missing on the main line as you enter Aversleigh station (not a problem, I just re-laid it.) I have tried deleting an essential item and then re-downloaded again – no change. I am mystified. Regards, John
-
Hi John
Very strange that you should behaving so much trouble. I did have a complaint re a small amount of catanery wire missing near Hunter. Search as I may I could not find it in my copy.
The forest was changed by the program to speed trees. i had nothing to do with that at all.
The comment re track missing as you enter Aversleigh station, because this also applies to the T4 version also.
I only noticed it as I was doing some work near the mill there and came out with a load of chips to find the other track was missing.
This did not happen every time though. It was the down track that was missing when i ran the train back to Freidman, but it was there when I traveled from Freidman to Aversleigh.
Weird.
I have noticed that the track also just disappears, sometimes, just after leaving Abbercrombie for Goodman. Train runs along on the dirt for a while.
I remember a few years ago when i was doing some beta testing for “Boat” on Sen City, a truly brilliant piece of script writing where i had forgotten to download a bridge and the train just took off and jumped the river and landed on the track on the other side. Very disconcerting, to say the least.
I still have a copy of Sen City and often run it. I think it is still available on the DLS for T6.
Norm
-
-
I’m with you guys. I have started running the T4 scenarios again, and with so many to choose from it will take awhile before I get to the end of the list. Larry, I’m sorry to say that I haven’t even tried to open up the Classic map that you did for TS12. T4 has risen to the top of my playlist. But I’ll get back there eventually – I want to re-run the TS12 activities too. Greg
-
I agree too, I shall also keep playing all the T4 RBR scenarios and Duel, you can’t beat them.
I have been trying to use the T12 RBR download map, basics are all OK, but a lot of things don’t show. I have repaired a lot of things like putting back missing stations, but a lot of the forest on the Norris green route are just a mass of criss cross white lines! I have started to reload the trees but these white lines won’t go away!! I think I too will revert to what works and leave it at that. Long live Razorback!!!!!!!!!
John-
Hi John
If you are referring to the Classic map that I redid for T12, then you should only need to open T12
kuid:211842:100059 and then right click on download on the blind that comes down and anything that you don’t have should be downloaded.
There is a loco that i accidentally left on the track between Columbia and Freidman which can be deleted.
There have now been some 300 downloads and the feedback re missing items has been from only a few who apparently didn’t know how to fix it.
If you are comparing it with the T4 edition there are 3 items missing’ They are signs on factories and make no difference.
The speed warning and some of the speed signs had to be removed or changed as they caused stack dumps.
Some stations wee slightly altered, particularly Apollo Bay station.
The addition of speed trees was something that just happened. I think it was because some of the old trees were upgraded.
Norm

Always liked the idea of the DLS, just never liked the crap to do things
-
I agree that we don’t hear from all our friends as often as we used to. However, I check here every day and I am pleased that this is still somewhere we can keep in touch. I have tried Train Sim 2013 but not got into it too far. I think that T4 and T12 will keep me pleased for a long time to come. By the time I get through all 60+ activities, I will be happy to go around again. I look forward to seeing more replies here. Best wishes to you all. Peter
-
I second that!”You can lead a horse to water but you cannot make him drink.” Stick to your guns Friend ! Cheers from the Gold Coast. Mal.
-
Why RBR ended is that TS12 is still broken and Auran are not interested in allowing for story line (ie driving) style stuff it is all about multiplayer and sessions. Too difficult, too fiddly, too aggravating.
-
How very true Larry.
I have been trying to upload all my Activities and they have thrown everything at me and now I have just given up.
Doesn’t matter what I do there is always something wrong.
It is just not worth it.
I am at present trying to write a scenario in T4/T6.
If and when I get it finished, I will announce it on this site and we will go from there.
Norm
-
-
Yes, I’ve lost interest too. The end of the RBR has left a hole in my life and I still not sure why it ended. It seems many others feel the same way.
-
It’s time to let “the Cat” amongst the Pigeons!! What’s happened to my Critics of “times gone by” I miss the lively ‘repartee” of others opinions !! I have been trying to get my head around the workings of Train Simulator 2013 over the past few weeks, and have just about got it sorted !! Has anyone else been ‘down this track’? Don’t get me wrong, I still prefer to play 2004 Scenarios. Just curious ! Cheers Mal.
-
Mal, I’ve spent a couple of hours with TS13, but as you’ve probably already discovered, a couple of hours doesn’t come close to filling the knowledge bank. I’ve also run some of the TS12 freeware sessions that are available on the download station, but I haven’t been overly impressed yet. Since the RBR shutdown, I have definitely lost some interest in my train simulator. I’ve been a little more active with my flight simulator instead. Burned out, maybe…
-
-
Just had a look at the config file and there are789 items on it.I of course, have them all so I deleted some of them and then right clicked on the layout in CMP and left clicked on ‘download’ and they soon appeared on the left side and were downloaded.
RON Yes there is a loco there. I was playing around checking the new track and then clean forgot about it. Sorry about that and out of 200 odd downloads you are the first to mention it. -
It appears that some of the chaps are having the same trouble. the experts say it has something to do with the config file.and it looks like i have made a mess of uploading things.
The Auran upload is not as easy as it would appear as there were only 3 items that it picked up on One was a builtin and theother2 were on the download site.
Don’t realy know what i did wrong as i have deleted and redownloaded and all was OK. -
Hi Norm, have a development. Went back and checked for missing items in RBR 6.4, still nothing. I did a create new route and added a loco then saved. When I checked the new route it did have missing items, which I downloaded – quite a lot in fact. When I went back to RB 6.4, all the footbridges were back, all the wandering track was correct and some of the stations reappeared as did some of the industries, also some of the catenary appeared, but still a lot of gaps in that. I did delete 6.4 and redownloaded a couple of times but that didn’t make any difference. I will now recreate the missing items as best I can. Cheers, John
-
Hi Norm, Have had a good look around now. A number of places the tracks wander off the permanent way and disappear, trains follow this, a couple of places tracks do not run over bridges, instead a few feet over the water or over fresh air. five missing stations. Gabledon station out of line, east side actually on the tracks! Apart from Hunter station, there is no overhead catenary. Patterson station only 2 platforms, didn’t find any footbridges anywhere apart from Hunter. Several industries missing. Aversleigh station not connected to the main line at west end. Have a full list if you want it, but too much for shoutbox. John
-
Hi Norm,
Have downloaded and installed V6.4 and I note you have left a loco on the route between Aversleigh & Columbia, a few klms after leaving the norther loop (looks like a UP loco). The one thing I have noted is that you can’t ‘access’ a lot of the industries so you can’t plan any sessions to use industries? IIRC industries were disabled to the public in T4 & T6 (only staff had access) to ease frame rates so I’m not sure how they are now ‘unlocked’ fore the user to program them now for use in their own sessions?I’m going to load up a couple of consists and drive around the route and will let you know if there are any more ‘problems’
Ron
-
I have deleted and redownloaded ver6.4 and had a look at it.
The station at Apolo Bay is different to the T4 version as i had to install a new station.
The only footbridges on that line are at Patterson and they are the same in T12 as T4 as I am running 2 computers side by side to do the comparison.
The other alterations i made were the “Speed warning signs’ as they caused a stack dump when approached from the other direction. Don’t know why..
Has any one else downloaded the T12 version and had a problem?.
I have noted that some of the original trees have been replaced with speed trees. I didn’t do that. It was done automatically.
If you can let me know what is missing and exactly where, maybe I can send you the kuids.
Norm -
marjon, I can’t understand that you would have stations and footbridges missing and yet you have no missing items.
I will delete my copy and re download and see what happens. -
Have been spending a fair bit of my time playing Train Simulator 2013 of late, and just when I thought I had it all worked out, it jumped out from behind a bush and bit me on the arse ! Have completed all but one of the Cajon Pass Scenarios, Just played Arrival of the Thunderheads in the Sherman Hill series and got to within 5mins of completing it and the bloody thing crashed on me. !! I have been really impressed with the overall layout, graphics ,etc. The only thing that irritates me is that it automatically assumes that every time you fire up your computor you want to play Trains ! Not always so ! However, I’ll have a go at downloading the RBR Classic Map into TS12. That will be my next project ! Never fear when all else fails, ‘Old Faithful’ always restores my love of playing Trains. Cheers Mal.
-
Thanks, Ted, for the email. It was great to hear from you. I hope others might do the same. Best wishes, Peter

Not a problem, Ted. Doesn’t matter as long as we don’t lose touch with each other. Now we just have to find out how ‘Erbie is. Best wishes, Peter.

Good idea Larry to remove the forum.
Was going to inquire re a scrolling system so we can read that what we have missed through not being around to read it before it slipped out of site.
Then I noticed the arrows at the top. Goody Gumdrops. -
Happy to announce that RBR Classic Route ver 6.4 kuid 211842:100059 is now available on the DLS.
This route is for T12 only.
I am trying to upload my other works but so far they have been knocked back.-
Hi Norm, downloaded RBR in TS12. No problems, no missing items etc. Appears in routes OK. I tried a test run with Red Hen from Apollo Bay to Paterson, tracks OK but most of the stations were missing – just a broken white line, and all the footbridges had vanished. Appears general,just to let you know. If you would like me to run around the rest of the tracks to see what other problems there are I would be happy to do so – not in one day though!!! John
-
-
Malw, have you thought that this might be part of ‘The Big Plan’, who knows what is going to happen next, Global Warming is playing a big part, have you studied the model maps that have been put out for coastal areas, the ice sheets up in the arctic are melting rapidly they say.
All the Best
Ted.

Peter, I logged in but still no details appear
ted -
When events such as we have been getting occur, One begins to wonder !! What happened to the “BIG PLAN” ?? We are only ‘a dot’ in Life’s Spectrum. Thank goodness for small mercies in parts of it. I feel genuine compassion for those who have been effected by recent events. I hope things will eventually sort themselves out. Cheers Mal.

Removed the forum area .. seems people are happy with he shoutbox .. so let’s use that!

Hi Peter, have clicked on your avatar but no details come up, not here anyway. maybe I have to be logged in, I’ll try that

We are lucky here, had no power for about two days and a bit, we are all electric here even for water pumps, but I really feel for the people in other parts, to far away to help them except to make a donation so that is what we are doing.
Cheers
Ted -
Glad to hear you survived without too much distress. Regards, Peter

Been a lot of damage from Cyclone Oswald all the way down the Queensland Coast and down thei NSW coastal areas. Have a look at Maryborough and Bundaberg, we have been lucky in our parts, just ferocious winds and torrential rain, a few trees down and flooded creeks, we are fairly high up here.

No city boy (Newtown) moved out here because we visited the caves at the end of the road and liked the area, so we bugged out of Sydney

Hi Larry ! Just curious. Your post regarding the “Menagerie at Bald Ridge ” Are you a ‘born & bred’ Farmer, or are you a late starter, who did the “Country Change’ after a hectic life in the Corporate World ? My country upbringing certainly had a positive effect in the shaping of my life style. Father was an Engine Driver, Mother was off the Land. Had many childhood friends who were from Families on the land, and spent many school holidays on their properties. What you see and learn never leaves you! Wanted to join the Railway but finished up being a “Child Minder” (actually a Industrial arts Teacher) Now I’m just a frustrated Virtual Train Driver, and loving it ! Retirement has never been better. Hope the Farm has been successful for you and your Wife. Being on the land is not as easy as it seems, too many “ifs” and “buts”. Hope their is a ‘silver lining’ somewhere ‘down the track’ for you and yours. Cheers Mal.
-
Good idea, Ted. I set up the “SHOUT BOX” before Larry set up this one. The idea was to have a central topic box for us to keep in touch. Now this one is up and running, there is no need for the other one.
Best wishes,
Peter -
hello Tedgeorge, thanks for your interest,
No!!! morse is not dead specially in the Radio-Ham world, and also the radio-beacons in the aviation world still use audible morse codes.
It is very handy to me to identify the beacons in my flightsim world hi-hi.
OK what I said before about missing the R.B.R. scenarios is true, I use many other Trainsims and I must confess , the most enjoyable are those from R.B.R.
At this moment I know that only two trainsims that have audible dispatch in the scenarios : EU07 free from poland and, of course RazorBackRailway.
I still hope that some good fellows will not stop to create R.B.R. scenarios.
thanks to all the scenario writers and other people for there great works!!!

Hi, I think a few of us are sort of mourning for RBR, well, that is now past so we have to get on with what we got, thanks to Larry, everybody needs to be using the same box to be making their comments I feel, that way there is no going from one box to the other. Just my thoughts.
Cheers
Ted.

Dear Mal,
I don’t mind where we post info, here or in the other “SHOUT BOX” as long as we all keep in touch. I’m sure we are all going to need the expertise of all our friends in the future.
Best regards,
Peter -
It’s a bit like the days when Bob Dyer was in the limelight, which box will I pick ? The refuge box, or the Shout Box? Stop confusing me ! Tooheys’ been picking on me lately, he reckons I’ve lost IT! What the bloody hell is IT? Who is gonna run with this one ? Cheers Mal.

Hi everyone. Been quiet lately – I seem to have lost interest in almost everything. I believe that’s a symptom of depression, which has me thinking, but I hope it’s just a letdown after the holidays and the RBR closure. I had been so busy with RBR programming, and then all of a sudden had nothing – it takes a little getting used to.
Trevh – I also have trouble with getting the login using the link. What I have done is to save the login page as a favorite and I get to it that way. Maybe that’ll help.

Hi Aglo,
Glad to see that the morse code is not completely defunct, I was in Communications in the Royal Navy many years ago, we also used voice, signal lamps and flags, semaphore and all that stuff. I wanted to be a Ham radio operator but found it much too costly for me,Cheers
Ted.

G’day Norm, computer crashes are a PITA, I have some good stuff on a computer of mine that crashed a couple of years ago, haven’t been able to fix it yet mainly because I don’t know how, I don’t trust these IT blokes in my computer, so I will have to wait until I find some person I can trust.
Cheers
Ted.

Thanks, All. I was a bit worried about you all.

hello all of you! my best wishes and also thanks for the compendium DVD’s
I have all the versions from the beginning of Trainz, Railworks, MSTS and maybe here is some tip, there are as far as I know 3 great FREE Trainsims:
EU07 from Poland one of the best electric locs (thechnical starting up etc.)with special scenarios etc. EU07.pl Translation is possible via Internet.
openbve from Japan. good!
Loksim from Germany Loksim.de with AFB speed control ,SIFA driver vigilance ,LZB etc. But at this moment only static AI trains.Good sim!
But I do miss RAZORBACKRAILWAY especialy the scenarios with Steamlocs and Audible dispatching.
I also love flightsim and flying on Line.
Love live steam locos etc. etc. etc.
I am also a HAM radio amateur most of the time in MORSE code.
Playing GUITAR
sorry for my bad English but I do understand this language very well.
Greetings and I hope that R.B. will start again hi-hi. -

Geez ‘Erb lucky you were not out on the open road when the oaf happened ‘alongside’. Glad the missus wasn’t hurt.

Blokes and their trucks…..

Hi Erbie mate.
Sorry to hear about your wife’s mishap. main thing is that she wasn’t hurt. Vehicles can be repaired or replaced, good people can’t. Hmm! maybe you need a bigger horn. -
Thanks for that Greg. Works a treat in Firefox
-
Just checking in.
And to let Larry now that myy lovable 99 RAV4 was crumpled while Pat was driving. She not harmed. Was second behind a a macho Dodge 2500 P/U with lifts at a red light. He couldn’t even see RAV and decided to back into a parallel parking beside Pat. His HD bumper hitch hit the hood 37″ above road level.
He gets out and sez “Wha happened”. She sez “You backed into me???”. Duh-oh, Homer. We will get whatever from his insurance. And, determined wife drives the accordion 3 miles home, walks upstairs and sez “Come see the hood”.
Happy New Year to me.

You can also do this in Firefox by using control+ to zoom in, Control- to zoom out, this is what I use
Ted.
-
Norm – in your browser, try clicking on View, then Zoom (if Firefox) or Text size (if Internet Explorer). You should be able to adjust the size to your liking.
Greg -
OK. The only problem I have is the size and faded print.
Have to really struggle to read it. -
RTE == Rich Text Editor & WP == WordPress (what is running Jenolan)
-
Hi Larry. Does it really matter? whatever RTE and WP are?
-
I have put the TS12 files onto a CD and will be sending to people who bought the Compendium. Hopefully Trepstar will load the correct DVD image soonish.

Testing one chew
-
This is a really long comment just to see what the formatting is like, no RTE so I dunno how anything cute is going to be done but we will see huh?

Trying a WP Shoutbox …..
