The
PUFFING
BILLY RAILWAY
by Peter
Pardoe-Matthews (Narrowgauge) |
In my Trainz world, there are two types
of people, there are those to whom narrow gauge is a way of life, and the great majority
who don't know what they are missing.
To the non-narrow gaugers, here is your chance to find out why your life is so empty.
On the Trainz Download Station you will find a map by Peter Hilton that faithfully
reproduces the first stage of the Puffing Billy Railway, the Belgrave to Menzies Creek
section. To enjoy this to it's fullest you will need the locos and rolling stock below.
The actual track that has been modeled was started in 1899, opened in 1900 and ran as a
working railway until 1958. Luckily, enthusiastic lovers of the line were able to take
over responsibility for it and the rest is history. Puffing Billy Railway now runs every
day except Christmas, using locomotives and rolling stock that ran on the line in the
earliest days. The Garratt G42 never ran on the original line but after a massive
restoration effort now runs with its smaller sisters for the pleasure of thousands of
riders.
Peter Hilton and I have enjoyed bringing this to you, and hope that you will have pleasure
from experiencing it.

PUFFING
BILLY POINTS OF INTEREST
General points.
 | All the PBR locos are limited to 20 mph. (32kph).
|
| Speed over bridges is limited to 5 mph.
|
| An NA loco is rated to haul a maximum of 100 tons. This
equates to 10 traincars. The Garratt can haul 200 tons, 20 traincars under the same track
conditions. |
| On the PBR line all locomotives run funnel first FROM
Belgrave to ensure that the water level is maintained over the firebox.
|
| All the locomotives are right hand drive, following the
standard set by the original Baldwin engines. Australian practice is left hand drive, but
not on the narrow gauge lines. |
| You will note a similarity in the rolling stock
underframes, the load for all the freight wagons is set at 10 Tons maximum.
|
| Apart from some passenger cars, the stock is all the
same length and runs on Fox type pressed steel bogies. The longer cars run on an extended
bogie. |
G42 Garratt
| You will find that there is no steam sound, this is
deliberate, as the Trainz sound engine could not handle the beat frequency at the higher
speeds. 8 beats per revolution and 36 inch wheels are too much for it. If you are inclined
to experiment, try using the NA sound |
| When you assemble the Garratt, preferably place the
Tank unit first and make sure that it correctly positioned, then add the Boiler unit with
the funnel near the tank unit, finally add the Coal Tender unit, positioned so that the
coupler is at the rear. Having done this make the complete loco into a consist for future
use. |
| There is an interior for the Garratt, to use it you
will have to click on the boiler to do so. There are no steam driving controls.
|
NA locomotives
| Each one has an interior, no steam driving controls.
|
Drivers
| All the locomotives have animated drivers that can be
made to turn round and back by using the 'Pantograph' key. (Unfortunately they all look
like me, can't help that). |
A plug for Puffing Billy
Railways
| Consider becoming a member, this doesn't involve
working on the railway, but you get two free trips a year and a monthly magazine, and you
will help this organization continue to give pleasure to thousands.
|
Finally
| I am always ready to consider changes or corrections to
these model. I will also supply the Gmax files for anyone wishing to rework the
appearance, or create new versions of the models. Somebody willing to make working steam
cabs for the locos is a very good reason for me to supply the files. I hope you enjoy
Peter Hiltons PBR map, and have pleasure running my rolling stock.
