M-LOG INTERACTIVE
INDUSTRY OPERATION
M-Log interactive logging operation was developed by
Rich Blake (AKA Slugsmasher)
While Murchison Logging supports the M-Log interactive
operation it is up to individual users to experiment and read TRAINZ documentation to
fully understand their use and operation.
M-LOG ROLLING STOCK
Included in the TRS2004 and TRS2006 downloads above
are a number of M-Log wagons created by Rich Blake.
You can place these wagons on the track at the
appropriate desired positions in TRAINZ SURVEYOR module.
Then, by right-clicking with the mouse on the
individual wagons, you will be presented with choices of load types and whether the wagon
is starting out loaded (to be unloaded at the Sorting Yard, Log dump or wharf) or starting
out unloaded (ready to be loaded at the loading ramps, sorting yard or lumber yard)
SETTING UP THE M-LOG
INDUSTRIES
If you are installing Murchison M-Logging TRS2004 then included
in the Asset 8 & 9 downloads above are the various M-log industries
If you are installing Murchison M-Logging TRS2006 then the
various M-log industries are already installed
- A pond Log Dump - (model by
Rich Blake - AKA SLUGSMASHER)
- Log skids (capable of being set up with multiple
logs BUT only one log length at a time) - (model by Rich Blake - AKA
SLUGSMASHER)
- A dry sorting yard for unloading multiple log sizes
and then reloading for transport to the mill or at the Main-line junction (model by Rich Blake - AKA SLUGSMASHER)
- An animated steam driven "Decker log
loader" for loading multiple log sizes - (model by Pierre Parissucy - AKA pierreparis)
By right-clicking with the mouse on these various
models in the TRAINZ SURVEYOR module you can set the sizes and quantities of logs to
load/unload
SETTING UP THE BASIC
INDUSTRIES
Murchison also uses other basic interactive industries
for loading and unloading lumber and M-logs
Unloading the M-logs at the Pardoe
Mill
At the Pardoe Mill you will find a section of
track at the Mill unloading skid (the length of industry track is defined with a red Arrow
at each end in the SURVEYOR module).
By right clicking on this track section you can adjust
what size and quantity the mill will receive.
(in the "Murchison Base
Setup" profile this has already been defined for you)
Cut Lumber
Also at both mills, on the Lumber-out
side, you will find lengths of track (defined with a red Arrow at each end). These
track areas define the cut lumber loading quantities
Also at the MURCHISON wharf, just before the wharf
starts, you will find lengths of track (defined with a red Arrow at each end). These
track areas define the cut lumber unloading quantities
By right clicking on this track section you can adjust
what items/quantities will load/unload
(in the "Murchison Base
Setup" profile this has already been defined for you)
USING THE M-LOG INDUSTRIES in the
TRAINZ DRIVER MODULE
By stopping your loaded/unloaded
wagons at the various industry positions TRAINZ will automatically load/unload the content
that it is set up to load/unload
If a wagon does not unload or unload
as expected then the most likely cause is that you have not set that wagon or industry up
to handle the specific log/lumber type desired (these MUST be set up in the Surveyor
module)
USING THE LOG DECKER
The M-Log LOG DECKER model was created
by Pierre Parissucy who has written his own full operating instructions. Please read the
