Standard K & Ka class locomotives |
Streamlined Ka locomotive |
HISTORY
In
1930 R.J. Gard designed a powerful successor to
the Ab locomotive to meet the requirements of
the Locomotive Superintendent (later Chief
Mechanical Engineer) P.R. Angus. To accommodate a large boiler and
at the same time meet the weight restrictions imposed by the civil
engineers, the K class used a 4-8-4 wheel arrangement.
Thirty Ks were built in
the Hutt workshop between 1932 and 1936. They were followed by
thirty-five of an improved version (Ka) between 1939 and 1950.
In terms of power, the
K and Ka were the ultimate development of the steam railway
locomotive in New Zealand.

HISTORY
Originally 141 of these locomotives were built, not including the
two lost on the wreck of the Wiltshire in 1922.
The Ab
class was introduced in 1915 and was designed to the requirements of
H. H. Jackson by the Chief Draughtsman, S. H. Jenkinson. It was a
simple, superheated “Pacific” featuring the cylindrical Vanderbilt
tender. Jackson had been impressed with these tenders on a visit to
America and it was adopted because of its light weight and economy
of construction.
Originally the Ab handled all principal express services and
main-line freight services, until the advent of the “K’s” and “J’s”
when they were relegated to freight haulage on branch and secondary
lines. They were rated to haul 700 - 750 tons on easy grades. Every
district, except Wellington, had a quota of Ab’s. Both the North and
South Island had the Ab.

NZ Rogers K88

HISTORY
The 'K'
class 2-4-2, K88, or Washington, was built in 1877 by Rogers
Locomotive Works, Paterson, New Jersey. It is now one of the oldest
operational Rogers built locomotives in the world.
Upon
arrival from the USA the 'K' locomotives (one of 2 ordered) were
pushed into service. K88 became the first locomotive to ever haul an
express train between the fledgling cities of Christchurch and
Dunedin, on New Zealands first 'Main Trunk Railway'.
By 1885
the 'K' class had been superseeded and was relagated to branch line
and secondary work - sometimes seen banking the expresses out of
Dunedin. Around the end of the 19th Century, the 'K' locomotives -
including K88 - received a new lease of life hauling tourist trains
from Gore to Kingston, on the shore of Lake Wakitipu. This was the
original 'Kingston Flyer'.
K88
continued to race across the Waimea Plains hauling tourists to the
Lake until the mid 1920's, when she was written off. Scrap metal
prices at the time were low, so it was decided to use the old
engines as flood protection. K88 looked to have no future, until the
early 1970's, when it was remembered that some locomotives had been
placed in the Oreti River as flood protection. So, shovels in hand,
a group of volunteers set out to exhume a Steam Engine.
'K' 88
has now been restored with its original 'loud' livery of 1877 and to
a mainline standard. It now sees regular service on the Plains
Railway.

HISTORY
Built
in 1880 by Dubbs & Co. of Glasgow.
Henry
Dubs, was born at Darmstradt, Germany in 1816. Dubs started his
locomotive works in 1864 which was destined to be the second largest
locomotive works in Britain.

|
Pressure: 120lbs/square inch |

|
These locos had a long working life without major overhaul. |
|
Boilers could last 40 years. The weight over six wheels could
put many a larger locomotive to shame when traction was the
order of the day. They could pull long freight trains at 40mph
on 1-50 grades. A credit to the designer and quality build. |
|
Later models had Westinghouse brakes, steam heating equipment
and electric lighting. |

HISTORY
The
NZR DA class was a class of
diesel-electric mainline locomotives that ran on the
New Zealand
national railways system between 1955 and 1989. With a total of
146 locomotives, the DA class was the most numerous class of
locomotives to operate in New Zealand
The DA class was built
to operate main-line passenger and freight trains, and some services
on secondary lines. They generated 1425 hp (1060 kW), and ran at up
to 100 km/h. Although they were not the first class of main-line
diesel locomotives to operate in New Zealand (this was the
DF of 1954), they were the first class to displace the steam
motive power that dominated NZR until the 1950s. They were
well-suited to hauling freight and passenger trains, and operated
the "Scenic
Daylight" service between
Auckland and
Wellington. When they arrived in New Zealand the tunnels south
of
Paekakariki on the
North Island Main Trunk Railway (NIMT) were not large enough for
them and they could not operate into Wellington via the NIMT until
these tunnels were enlarged in 1967

HISTORY
The DCP loco ’s
are a sub-class of the mainstay DC fleet of loco’s
used in New Zealand and are used for passenger services by Tranz
Scenic. The DC’s
were rebuilt from the older DA class during 1978
– 1981 by Clyde
Engineering, Australia. They were re-powered at that time, with
GM 12-645c engines, which develop 1650h.p. The older DA was
1420h.p. There are 16 loco’s
in the DCP class, the running numbers range between 4277 and
4945. This particular model of DCP4559 is currently one of the
lead loco’s
on the TranzScenic train which runs daily between Christchurch
and Picton, South Island, New Zealand.

DRIVING IN TRS2009 / TS2010*
The loco is driveable by
clicking on it and pressing button 1. In-cab and outside views
by pressing [
……
] buttons.Front and rear coupler views for yard sessions
–
zoom in and the letter “F”
is on the front coupler, of course, the letter
“R”
for rear coupler. This helps so you don’t
lose sense of which end of the loco is being viewed. Lights =
shift + L for dim and L for full. Press
“ ;
“
key for flashing ditch lights, main lights on first. Best
driving performance is obtained in
“Cab
mode”.
While in the cab, the row of switches and corresponding neons do
work, but have no actual function
–
for the thrills only!
*Note,
This model is aimed at TRS2009/TRS2010, not
sure about TS2012, but it should work.
I have found that TRS2010 cab FOV
visual appearance is a bit weird and the cab looks stretched
and distorts when the camera is panned. I would recommend to
change the setting in
“trainzoptions”
file to < -cabviewfov=40
> ( default is 60 ).
RUNNING NUMBERS:
To activate the running numbers in TRS2009 and
TRS2010, after placing your loco in “Surveyor”,
click on the “
? “ icon and
in the sub panel enter the running numbers. See running numbers
above.
N.Z.R. Diesel “LocoStart”
Feature – Cab
Mode
LocoStart is a feature I
have developed to allow in-cab start-up and shutdown of my N.Z.R.
diesel loco models for Trainz 2009 and 2010.
Note, this is a feature of
my NZR Locos only and is not a stand-alone add on.
Features :
1) Locos can be
parked and shutdown anywhere, anytime.
2) The function
works completely in
“Cab mode”
(recommended), the loco will still work in
“DCC mode”,
but with no idle sounds.
3) It is fun and
adds a new dimension to the diesel loco driving experience
in Trainz.
4) You can have any
number of diesel locos parked in the yard without them all
creating a din.
At this
stage the loco is non fuel consuming
–
I am not yet clever enough to incorporate that
feature, but one day!
1) Select the loco
in
“Driver”
and press “1”
to enter the cab. You will notice a deathly silence.
2) Press
“]”
once to swing the cam-view around to the start switch panel.
3) Place the mouse
cursor on the fuel primer toggle, left click and switch on.
An indicator lamp beside the stop button will illuminate.
4) The stop/start
buttons are interlocked to this switch, so it is important
to switch on first, otherwise no engine start possible.
5) Place the mouse
cursor arrowhead on the green start button, left click,
press and release. The engine will now start.
6) Press
“
[ “
once to swing the camera back to the forward driving
position
7) From here, drive
the loco normally.
8) To park and
shutdown the loco: Return the throttle to 0 idle and apply
the brakes
“A”
to bring the loco to a complete stop.
9) Press
“
] “
once to swing the cam-view around to the start panel.
10) Place the mouse
cursor arrowhead on the red stop button, left click , press
and release. The engine will now shut down.
11) Turn off the
fuel primer switch. The loco is now reset for its next run.
* Designed primarily for TS2010, but works in
TS2009. Due to new sound file formats and some processes used to
create LocoStart, this feature will not work in TRS2006. I am not
sure about TS2012 as I don ’t
have it, but it should work O.K.

Best driving performance is obtained in “Cab mode”. Best sounds are
in TRS2009. Loco uses sounds by “Wulf 9” , < kuid2:104722:53438:1>
on DLS if you don’t already have it. Thanks to Wulf 9 for the
sounds.
While in the cab, the row of switches and corresponding neons do
work, but have no actual function – for the thrills only!
RUNNING NUMBERS:
To activate the running numbers in TRS2006 and TRS2009, after
placing your loco in “Surveyor”, click on the “ ? “ icon and in the
sub panel enter the running numbers. The correct numbers for Tranz
Rail blue DCP’s are: 4513, 4611, 4628, 4634, 4755, 4761. 4559 is
another, but has recently been refurbished and painted in the new
Kiwi Rail scheme. Of course, you can select any number you like, but
this would not be politically correct.
This model is available in S.G. and 42” versions. The 42” version
sits correctly on track kuid’s 47439:38001 and 44640:38003.
I present these models in weathered and “battle scarred” condition.
NOTE:
I have
found that TRS2009 cab FOV visual appearance is a bit weird and the
cab looks stretched and distorts when the camera is panned. I would
recommend to change the setting in “trainzoptions” file to < -cabviewfov=40
> ( default is 60 ). This view in TRS2006 is fine and requires no
attention.
Also, my own personal preference is to adjust the gamma setting,
TRS2009, to 1.25, but the choice is yours.
*Note, this model is aimed at TRS2009/TRS2010, but will work
in TRS2006, minus “pull lever” horn function ( use keyboard “H”
for horn sound) and no flashing ditch lights.

HISTORY
The DA class locomotive were
built by General Motors Electromotive division and origionally
designated G12.These loco ’s
were introduced to New Zealand between 1955 and 1967.A total of 146
loco’s were
owned by N.Z. railways . During the 1980’s
many were rebuilt as the DC class, but some remained in use as DA
class, but given new TMS numbers. Eventually all DA’s
were withdrawn from service by N.Z.Railways by 1989. A few were
purchased by private groups and still survive today.

ABOUT THIS MODEL:
I have modelled this loco on DA1471 which was
one of the later batch which arrived in N.Z. around 1964. Later,
this loco was overhauled at Dunedin Hillside workshops and emerged
in
the new
“Fruit salad”
scheme livery and TMS number DA725. During 1989, DA725 was withdrawn
from NZR service and sold to a rail enthusiast group who have
restored this loco back to DA1471 and its old red and silver/white
stripe livery. I have fitted this model with phase 3 bogies and
phase 2 controls, also the later dual sliding cab windows.
DRIVING THIS MODEL IN
TRAINZ 2009 / 2010*:
The loco is driveable by
clicking on it and pressing button 1. In-cab and outside views by
pressing [ ……
] buttons.Front and rear coupler views for yard sessions . Lights =
shift + L for dim and L for full. Best driving performance is
obtained in “Cab
mode”.
While in the cab, the row of switches and corresponding neons do
work, but have no actual function
–
for the thrills only!
NOTE:
I have found that TRS2010 and
TS12 cab FOV visual appearance is a bit weird and the cab looks
stretched and distorts when the camera is panned. I would recommend
to change the setting in
“trainzoptions”
file to < -cabviewfov=40
> ( default is 60 ).
*Note, this model is aimed
at TRS2010, but works in TRS2009 and TS12
RUNNING NUMBERS:
To activate the running
numbers in TRS2009 and TRS2010, TS12, after placing your loco in
“Surveyor”,
click on the “ ?
“
icon and in the sub panel enter the running numbers. See running
numbers above.
N.Z.R. Diesel
“LocoStart”
Feature – Cab Mode
LocoStart is a feature I have
developed to allow in-cab start-up and shutdown of my N.Z.R. diesel
loco models for Trainz 2009 and 2010, TS12.
Note, this is a feature of my
NZR Locos only and is not a stand-alone add on.
Features :
|
Locos can be parked and
shutdown anywhere, anytime. |
|
The function works
completely in “Cab mode”
(recommended), the loco will still work in “DCC
mode”, but with no idle sounds. |
|
It is fun and adds a new
dimension to the diesel loco driving experience in Trainz. |
|
You can have any number of
diesel locos parked in the yard without them all creating a din. |
At this stage the loco is non
fuel consuming – I am not yet clever
enough to incorporate that feature, but one day!
To operate
“LocoStart” in Cab mode:
-
Select the loco in
“Driver” and
press “1” to
enter the cab. You will notice a deathly silence.
-
Press “]”
once to navigate the cam-view to the start switch panel.
-
Place the mouse cursor on
the start/run isolator, left click and switch on to start/run.
-
Place the mouse cursor on
the fuel primer toggle, left click and switch on. An indicator
lamp below this switch will illuminate.
-
The stop/start buttons are
interlocked to this switch, so it is important to switch on
first, otherwise no engine start possible.
-
Place the mouse cursor
arrowhead on the green start button, left click, press and
release. The engine will now start.
-
Press “
[ “ once to swing the camera back to
the forward driving position
-
From here, drive the loco
normally.
-
To park and shutdown the
loco: Return the throttle to 0 idle and apply the brakes
“A” to bring
the loco to a complete stop.
-
Press “
] “ once to navigate the cam-view to
the start panel.
-
Place the mouse cursor
arrowhead on the red stop button, left click , press and
release. The engine will now shut down.
-
Turn off the fuel primer
switch. Turn the start/run switch to off. The loco is now reset
for its next run.
* Designed primarily for
TS2010, but works in TS2009 and TS12. Due to new sound file formats
and some processes used to create LocoStart, this feature will not
work in TRS2006.

This
RM56 model is Ex MSTS and was originally
built by Barry Munro a.k.a. “Captain Bazza”, who kindly allowed
Trevor Burt to convert it for use in
Trainz 2006. Trevor has also added a
typical cab module.
HISTORY
New Zealand
Railways ordered 10 rail motors from the Vulcan foundry works, Great
Britain, in the early 1940’s. Several shipments were made to New
Zealand as each unit was completed, but one, which was to be RM59,
was lost at sea when its transporting ship was torpedoed during
W.W.2.
All 9 RM’s were assigned to duties in the South Island N.Z. As far
as I know, they were not used in the North Island N.Z., but I could
be corrected on this. The diesel motor/transmission was located at
the lead end behind the forward driving cab . In its time, this
railcar held the railcar top speed record ( N.Z.) of 75m.p.h. ,
recorded on the Midland line.
Some examples of this railcar still exist. One, RM 50, is preserved
at The Plains Railway, Timwald, Ashburton, N.Z. and RM56 , RM57 are
preserved at Ferrymead, Christchurch, N.Z.
Trevor created the cab module for the
RM56 using photographs of the actual RM56 cab, so must thank
the staff at Ferrymead for allowing me to crawl around inside RM56,
presently undergoing a flash new re-paint.
RM
56 ready to depart Ferrymead Station, Christchurch, New Zealand.
DRIVING IN TRS2006
The driving
choices are DCC or Cab mode. To change cabs forward - rear, press
Alt - C.
The speedo does not work in the rear cab when going forwards. This
is not a fault, but just one of those things in the sim.
There are multiple views in cab, outside cab/H.O.W. and passenger
views by pressing [ … ] keys
Cheers, I hope you enjoy this model in Trainz 2006.

N.Z.R. Articulated twinset 88 seater railcar RM109
by Trevor Burt
Copyright © 2008
TRS2006 |
|
History
The railcar is modelled on RM109 in the
Coronation red with silver/white cheatstripes livery.
RM 109
was placed into service with N.Z.R. in February 1956 and withdrawn
in December 1971.
These
railcars were built by the Birmingham Railway carriage and Wagon Co.
Ltd., Smethwick Works, to a Drewry design. They were fitted with two
horizontal Fiat diesel engines of pre W.W.2 naval design which were
never specifically designed to drive a railcar via a multispeed
drive.
Throughout their life, they gave many troubles and were very costly
to run and maintain, mostly due to engine problems. However, these
railcars were popular with the commuting public and the mention of
Fiat engines had the masses calling them Fiat railcars.
Later
on , around 1968 some were refurbished and repainted in a new livery
of blue with a violet waistband/striping and intended for a plush
new life as the “Blue Streaks” service. However, due to low
patronage, this service was short lived and by 1978, all drewry
railcars were withdrawn or scrapped. Some did ponder on for a bit
longer as engine-less, loco drawn coaches or “grass grubs” as they
were called due to their green colour scheme, but come 1985, these
too were scrapped.
Someone did think to preserve one or two
of these railcars and the Pahiatua Railcar Society, Wairarapa, New
Zealand is busy presently restoring at least one of these twinsets.
I recommend a visit to their website :
http://railcar.netfirms.com/
DRIVING IN TRS2006
These models are similar set up to the DM units, i.e. run in pairs
of one “A” unit connected back to back with one “A2” unit. When
placing in surveyor, the A2 car will be facing the same direction as
the A (lead/ driver) car. If you click on the A2 and “rotate train”
it will then face back to back, as it should and line up correctly
at the central articulated bogie. They can then be connected as one
or two pairs. Each unit is driveable by clicking on it and pressing
button 1. In cab and HOW and passenger views by pressing [ …… ]
buttons.
Note,
the cab module is not the actual cab, but I have created something
very similar using artistic license.

N.Z.R English Electric class DM UNITS
by
Trevor Burt a.k.a. Fender
TRS2006 |
|
Trevor Burt
a.k.a. Fender originally built these DM models for MSTS, but has
converted them for use in Trainz 2006.
They are basic and have no passenger functionality, but they really
do look the part in the N.Z. routes
HISTORY
In 1937, New Zealand
Railways ordered 6 x class DM units from the English Electric Co.
The initial batch were painted in royal blue with a silver side
cheatstripe. These units proved very popular and in 1942, further
units were placed on order. A few years later, 40 more DM units and
71 D trailers were ordered to cater for expanded services to the
Hutt Valley and Paekakariki. Many of these robust units have now
been scrapped, but 10 x DM-D sets have been refurbished and kept
going to service the Johnsonville line, in fact, they are still
running to this day.
On the old numbering system, units DM 1 to 6 ( blue with silver
cheatstripe) put into service in 1938,
Units DM 7 to 9 (red) put into service 1946 and units DM 10 to 49
(red) put into service between 1949 and 1954.

TranzRail Ganz Mavag Multiple electric units
Models for Trainz 2006 by Trevor Burt a.k.a. Fender. Copyright ©
2008
HISTORY
Forty four of these
Hungarian, Budapest built units were introduced to Wellington, N.Z.
over 1982 - 1983 to replace some of the loco-carriage consists which
plied the Wellington suburban areas. They were built by the Ganz
Mavag Co. and equipped with G.E.C. electrical traction gear from the
U.K. Due to size constraints, they were not granted running rights
on the Johnsonville line and to this day, the older DM units still
service the Johnsonville line. After having said that, these models
can be run on the Johnsonville line in the Trainz sim, where the
tunnels ARE big enough - this makes for a unique experience.
SPECIFICATIONS
|
Operating voltage = 1500 v.d.c. |
|

|
Axle arrangement = Bo-Bo |
|
Top speed = 60 m.p.h. |
|
Length = 20.7metres |
Passenger capacity = 70 seats EM, 78 seats ET trailer.
DRIVING IN TRS2006
These
models are similar set up to the DM units, i.e. run in pairs of one
EM unit connected back to back with one ET unit. They are then
connected as one, two or three pairs. Each unit is driveable by
clicking on it and pressing button 1. In cab and HOW views by
pressing [ …… ] buttons. They are low in polys, so 6 x car AI
aplenty will run very well in the sim. Note, the cab module is not
the actual cab, but I have created something very similar using
artistic license.

N.Z. TranzRail Ganz Mavag
Multiple electric units - updates
Models for Trainz 2010 by
Trevor Burt a.k.a. Fender. Copyright © 2011
HISTORY:
Forty four of these Hungarian,
Budapest built units were introduced to Wellington, N.Z. over 1982
–
1983 to replace some of the loco-carriage consists which plied the
Wellington suburban areas. They were built by the Ganz Mavag Co. and
equipped with G.E.C. electrical traction gear from the U.K. Due to
size constraints, they were not granted running rights on the
Johnsonville line and to this day, the older DM units still service
the Johnsonville line. After having said that, these models can be
run on the Johnsonville line in the Trainz sim, where the tunnels
ARE big enough –
this makes for a unique experience. This update download includes
the Ganz in the old original “caterpillar”
livery, with EE2 pantograph and the new style Metlink livery, with
single arm Matangi pantograph.
Some technical specs:
|
Operating voltage =
1500 v.d.c. |
|
Traction motors = 4 per
EM. |
|
Power = 535 h.p. |
|
Track gauge = 3ft. 6”
( 1067mm ) Std. N.Z. |
|
Axle arrangement =
Bo-Bo |
|
Top speed = 60 m.p.h. |
|
Length = 20.7metres |
|
Passenger capacity = 70
seats EM, 78 seats ET trailer. |
Driving the models in Trainz
2010:
These models are similar set
up to the DM units, i.e. run in pairs of one EM unit connected back
to back with one ET unit. They are then connected as one, two or
three pairs. Each unit is driveable by clicking on it and pressing
button 1. In cab and HOW views by pressing [
……
] buttons. They are low in polys, so 6 x car AI aplenty will run
very well in the sim.
Enter the running numbers per
coach in surveyor using the trains/? Icon and place the number in
the dropdown field. The new Metlink Ganz has ditchlights, press

N.Z. KiwiRail EO electric loco
as refurbished 2009
Models for Trainz 2006 / 2009*
by Trevor Burt a.k.a. Fender. Copyright © 2009
HISTORY
Five of these electric locos
were built by Toshiba for New Zealand Rail and introduced to the
Otira section at Arthurs Pass, New Zealand in 1968. They were
originally classed as Ea and replaced the older EO of 1923, but were
reclassified to EO in 1980. They serviced the same section of line
at Otira from 1968 to 1997, when they were replaced in favour of
diesel power. The five locos were placed into storage until 2008,
when three were refurbished ( EO45, EO51 and EO74 ) for use on the
ping-pong trains which ply the Wellington
–
Hutt Valley line at peak hours. This is to be a temporary measure
until the new Maitangi trains are introduced in 2010. Who knows,
they may live on after that !

DRIVING IN TRS2006 / TS2009*
These models are consist with
ex U.K. mk2 cars ( or N.Z. update equiv.) and one at each end, EO51
and EO74. Each loco is driveable by clicking on it and pressing
button 1. In cab and HOW views by pressing [
……
] buttons. They are low in polys, so will run very well in the sim.
*Note, the cab module and
pantograph are Auran default ( progressive mesh ), so I cannot
guarantee its performance in Tr2009, but it will work.

FP/FT Class electric multiple units
Models for Trainz 2010* by Trevor Burt a.k.a.
Fender. Copyright © 2011
HISTORY
The first of these new
units were introduced to Wellington towards the end of 2010.
There will eventually be 48 FP/FT units to service the Hutt
Valley, Johnsonville, Melling and Parparaumu
– Waikanae lines. They will supplement the current Ganz
Mavag units and the older DM units will be withdrawn.

|
DRIVING IN TRS2010
The loco is driveable by clicking on it
and pressing button 1. In-cab by pressing [
…… ] buttons.
Continue pressing [….]
buttons to access the passenger cabin. Lights = shift + L for
dim and L for full. Press “ ;
“ key for flashing ditch lights, main
lights on first.
Best driving performance is obtained in
“Cab mode”.
Best sounds are in TRS2010.
NEXT STATION READOUT:
The drivers screen includes a
“Next Station”
digital readout. To best understand how this works, I suggest
you look at the Harlem Line route, session 4. Then create a
new session on the Harlem Line and save it
as “Matangi test”.
Place your Matangi FP/FT at , say, Brewster station. As you
drive your Matangi train along this route, you will
see how the station names change. I am no
expert at all the functions, but it would appear a trigger (
green cross ) is required at the entry to the station platform
and this is
named “xx_”
smallcase. This trigger seems to reset the readout. At the exit
of the station platform, another trigger ( green cross ) is
placed and named “xxWATERLOO”
or
whatever the name of your next station is.
This trigger seems to apply the next station name. Install these
triggers in your own N.Z. route and see how you go. Test and
joy!
The station name is capitals with no
underscore after the xx. I have also found that this system is
only realistically workable on dual track sections, single track
sections works
going one way, but not when returning. You
will see what I mean. Someone may come up with a clever scheme
around this.
The trains are built up in FP/FT pairs and
may be coupled – uncoupled in 2,4 or 6
car sets. I have endeavoured to create these models as low poly
as possible for best
in-game performance, so 4 car and 6 car AI
aplenty on the Hutt valley lines should not be a problem. It is
best to place the FP car first, then add the FT car. If the FT
car
is facing the wrong way, then use the
“turn train”
tool to correct it.
*Note, this model is aimed at TRS2010, but
will work in TRS2009 and according to specs, should also work in
TRS2012 ( I don’t have 2012 as yet, so
cannot test ).
Due to more recent sound file formats and
features introduced in TRS2009, the units will not work in
TRS2006.
RUNNING NUMBERS:
To activate the running numbers in TRS2009
and TRS2010, after placing your loco in “Surveyor”,
click on the “ ? “
icon and in the sub panel enter the running numbers.
Note, the FP and FT pair share the same
running number, i.e FP4103 and FT4103 –
this follows through for the other multiple pairs.
See the above list for the correct running
numbers. You may notice loco number 1 and 8 (look at the 3rd
digit) are missing. I do not know why this is, but something to
do with
the TMS numbering system ? Perhaps someone
could enlighten me.
Thanks to:
Bill69 for the many photographs.
Ryan McC for the Eng sounds and Horn sounds.

P LACING
THE MODELS IN TRAINZ
TS2009 /
TS2010 and TS12*:
These models are similar
set up to the DM units, i.e. run in pairs of one
“A”
unit connected back to back with one “B”
unit. When placing in surveyor, the B car will be facing the
same direction as the A (power) car. If you click on the B and
“rotate train”
it will then face back to back, as it should and line up
correctly
.
D RIVING
THE MODELS IN TRAINZ TS2009 /
TS2010
and TS12*:
The railcar is driveable by clicking on it and
pressing button 1. In-cab and outside and passenger views by
pressing [
……
] buttons.
Lights = shift + L for dim and L for full.
Best driving performance is obtained in
“Cab
mode”.
NOTE:
I have found that
TRS2010 cab FOV visual appearance is a bit weird and the cab
looks stretched and distorts when the camera is panned. I would
recommend to change the setting in
“trainzoptions”
file to < -cabviewfov=40
> ( default is 60 ).
RUNNING NUMBERS:
To activate the running numbers in TRS2009
, TRS2010 and TS12, after placing your loco in
“Surveyor”,
click on the “

icon and in the sub panel enter the running numbers. See running
numbers above.
N.Z.R. D IESEL
“LOCOSTART”
FEATURE - CAB MODE
Models for Trainz * 2010 by Trevor Burt
a.k.a. Fender. Copyright © 2011
LocoStart is a feature I have developed to
allow in-cab start-up and shutdown of my N.Z.R. diesel loco
models for Trainz 2009 and 2010 and TS12.
Note, this is a feature of
my NZR Locos only and is not a stand-alone add on.
F EATURES
:
|
Locos can be parked and
shutdown anywhere, anytime. |
|
The function works
completely in
“Cab mode”
(recommended), the loco will still work in
“DCC mode”,
but with no idle sounds. |
|
It is fun and adds a new
dimension to the diesel loco driving experience in
Trainz. |
|
You can have any number of
diesel locos parked in the yard without them all
creating a din. |
|
At this
stage the loco is non fuel consuming
–
I am not yet clever enough to incorporate that
feature, but one day! |
TO OPERATE "LOCOSTART"
IN CAB MODE
-
Select the railcar in
“Driver”
and press “1”
to enter the power car A cab. You must start/stop in
power car A, once started, you can drive in car A or
B.
Press
“]”
once to swing the cam-view around to the start
switch panel.
Place the
mouse cursor on the fuel primer toggle, left click
and switch on. An indicator lamp beside the stop
button will illuminate.
The
stop/start buttons are interlocked to this switch,
so it is important to switch on first, otherwise no
engine start possible.
Place the
mouse cursor arrowhead on the green start button,
left click, press and release. The engine will now
start.
Press
“ [
“
once to swing the camera back to the forward driving
position
From here, drive the railcar
normally.
To park and shutdown the railcar, enter car A cab:
Return the throttle to 0 idle and apply the brakes
“A”
to bring the railcar to a complete stop.
Press
“ ]
“
once to swing the cam-view around to the start
panel.
Place the mouse cursor
arrowhead on the red stop button, left click , press
and release. The engine will now shut down.
Turn off the fuel primer
switch. The railcar is now reset for its next run.
* Designed primarily for TS2010, but works
in TS2009 and TS12. Due to new sound file formats and some processes
used to create LocoStart,
This
feature will not work in TRS2006. Sounds and visuals are best in
TRS2010.
Have fun, cheers,
Trevor Burt a.k.a. Fender.

Models for

 |
HISTORY
This is a steel
construction, 2 x bogie guards van with an enclosed rear
platform. There were 40 of these vans built in NZR workshops
during 1955 and 1956. During refurbishment programmes in the
1960’s, some modifications were made, the most prominent being
the installation of triangular styled lookouts. I have created
this model according to the original B.P. 26500, but also fitted
the triangular lookouts as per wagon F2423 which now resides at
Waipara Sleepers, North Canterbury, New Zealand. In fact, I had
an overnight stay in this very wagon which has been converted
into a luxury sleep out. On ground are
other converted guards vans and the kitchen block is built as an
early NZR railway station – most unique. For more info :

ABOUT
THESE MODELS
As
there is only one guards van per train, I have let loose with
some more polys, so better detail and graphics are applied to
this model.
Features include a cabin
interior, in-cab sounds and opening/closing
doors. At present, TRS 2010 does not have
capability for in-cab sounds in passenger cars or freight
wagons, so I have built this van as a
powered loco in disguise to allow for the sounds to be produced.
I just could not cope with riding along inside the cabin with no
sounds, no wheel rumble,
bearing noise, nothing, just the faint click-clack coming from
far away from the track sounds. There are good and bad results
attached to this set-up. On the good
side, the train can be controlled from the guard’s
cabin ( Cab mode only ).
On the bad side, the AI
system will see this van as a loco and
may do strange things
–
just bear this in mind if setting up a session, otherwise not a
problem. Another point of note, is not to have the van too close
to the loco as the loco sounds will
cancel out the van cab sounds. I have
found about 20 x of my NZR 4 x wheel wagons is a good distance
apart to reap the full benefits of the
sounds.
To operate the doors
–
this works in cab mode only –
from the default camera position at the left side lookout, use
the ] button to advance positionuntil you are in front of the
cabin door. Then use the mouse, position the pointer on this
door, left click hold and drag back towards you to open this
door. Then use the ] button to advance to
the left side door. Then use the mouse,
pointer on this door, left click hold and drag away from you to
slide this door forward to
open. Use ] button to step forward a bit for a view out through
this door opening. Use ] again to swing around to the right side
door. Mouse pointer on this door,
left click hold and drag away from you to open
this door. Repeated use of ] button to advance the remaining
views. Be sure to be a tidy Kiwi and close these doors
after you. Of course, there is button 2 for
outside van view.
While researching and building this model, it
occurred to me what a cushee job this must have been. Just
imagine, lounging back in that comfy armchair,
snacking away on crunchie bars while watching
the miles flit away into the distance!
*Note, this model is aimed at TRS2010, but will also work in
TRS2009. Due to the new sounds format introduced in TC, this
model will not work in TRS2006.
Thanks to Ryan McC. for providing the NZR EE class D sounds used
in this model.
Enjoy,
Cheers,
Trevor Burt a.k.a. Fender.

N.Z.R. EW
Articulated electric loco
Models for
Trainz * 2010 by Trevor Burt a.k.a. Fender. Copyright © 2010
|
 |
HISTORY
This model is based on
EW1806 which is preserved by Ferrymead in Christchurch. The EW (
Electric, Wellington ) were introduced to
N.Z.R in 1952 and servived through to 1988, when they were all
withdrawn from service. The loco’s
were used mainly for hauling passenger
services in Wellington, Hutt Valley and up to Paekakariki
– also occasionally used
for hauling freight. During the 1960’s
the EW hauled carriage trains
–
up to 10 x AA 2nd class coaches - from Taita into
Wellington to help out the crowded DMU’s
at peak times. In
those days train patronage was high and only a keen few drove their
cars into town. I remember back then, these trains were
known as
“The boneshaker”.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS

DRIVING THE MODEL IN TRAINZ TS2010:
These
models are similar set up to the DM units, i.e. run in a pair of one
"A" unit connected back to back with one "B" unit. When placing in
surveyor, the B car could be facing the same direction as the A
(lead/ driver) car. If you click on the B and "rotate train" it will
then face back to back, as it should and line up correctly at the
central articulated bogie. Each unit is drivable by clicking on it
and pressing button 1.
In cab
and HOW views by pressing [ …… ] buttons. Best driving performance
is obtained in "Cab mode".
NOTE:
I have
found that TRS2009 and TRS2010 cab FOV visual appearance is a bit
weird and the cab looks stretched and distorts when the camera is
panned. I would recommend to change the setting in "trainzoptions"
file to "-cabviewfov=40" ( default is 60 ). This view in TRS2006 is
fine and requires no attention.
*Note,
this model is aimed at TRS2009/TRS2010, but will work in TRS2006,
minus "pull lever" horn function ( use keyboard "H" for horn sound)
.

HISTORY
This is an all
steel construction, 4 x wheel wagon built in the 1960’s
era for N.Z.R. The Kp2 wagons were built up from kit sets from
Yugoslavia.These wagons were very rigid, due to the all steel
construction, the first batch was prone to bounce and sometimes
de-rail. This was rectified with a
modified suspension. The double doors on each side provided a 10
foot opening and thus could be pallet loaded using a forklift.

When you consider that a consist could be 30 to 40 mixed wagons
and loaded with goods,
then it is important not to have each individual
wagon too high in poly count and avoid loading
down computer resources. These models are
therefore low poly, low resolution
graphics and minimal detail where not really necessary –
e.g. I have not modelled the air brake lines and fittings under
each wagon and unless you drive your trains with the tip of your
nose on the axle boxes, you will not notice this. Of course,
they will not stand up to close scrutiny by the rivet
counters and
armchair critics !
Loading /
unloading:
This model is
industry active ( being a covered wagon the goods are not
visible, but they are there in weight and report waybills
correctly for session handling)
and has been configured to load/unload the
following goods: Auran General goods,
cement bag pallet, Fertiliser bag pallet, Pallet of
stockfeed bags, Automotive engines,
General Auto parts, hay bales.I
have tested this using
” Multiple
Industry New ” which comes with
TRS2006, 2009 and 2010. If you don’t
care for the wagon loading and just simply want to
drive with a consist of wagons, then you don’t
have to set this up. There is an excellent tutorial for
using M.I.N. at:

HISTORY
This is a timber
construction, 4 x wheel wagon built in the 1940 ’s
and 1950’s era for N.Z.R. I must say,
probably the most tidily built of all the wooden stock carriers.
These wagons are 20ft chassis and 13ft. wheelbase. They were
commonly known as “deckers”
due to the two deck flooring and were used up to the late 1970’s
, at which time sheep traffic was largely being carried out by
road transport.
Of
the 1079 wagons built, very few exist today and only some of the
private groups have one amongst their stock.

HISTORY
This is an all steel
construction, 4 x wheel wagon built in 1959 and onwards for
N.Z.R. Most of the early batch were built at Eastown workshops
and the later batches were built at Addington.
They were used for ballast
distribution in between the rails. Another design
– Yf –
were used for ballast distribution outsideof the rails. These
wagons are no longer used by N.Z.R., but many still exist today
in the hands of enthusiast railway groups.

LOADING / UNLOADING
Due to difficulties in modelling an animated load of ballast
–
just where do you unload ballast in Trainz ? –
I have created two models. One is loaded, the
other is empty.
*Note, this model is aimed
at TRS2010, but will also work in TRS2006 and TRS2009.

 |
HISTORY
These Fell brake vans were
built for use on the Rimutaka Incline and later used on the
Rewanui Incline.. They were operated by an Incline Guard during
descent on the incline.
A hand wheel was wound in
to force the brake blocks against the raised centre rail. Wear
on these blocks was severe and they had to be replaced after
each round trip. This kept the fitters at Cross Creek very busy
for they had to replace the brake blocks on five Fell engines
also.

ABOUT
THESE MODELS
This model is ex MSTS and was originally created
by Barry Munroe, a.k.a. Captain Bazza, so thanks to Barry for
his source files. These vans are tiny, so can not be
compared in size to NZR freight wagons for example.
.*Note, this model is aimed at TRS2010, but will
also work in TRS2009 and TS1 2.
