| THE ORIGINS OF
SIRGIBBY
For those
curious about the Website and
my TRAINZ username "Sirgibby", it comes from a series
of books I once enjoyed that were written by a famous 19th Century Scottish author George
McDonald.
"Wee Sir Gibby" remains one of
my most favourite literary characters and is not only my TRAINZ username but the shortened
version, "Gibby", is also the name of my collie dog. |

& TS12)
|
Murchison 2 is a
merging of the
original Narrow
Gauge Murchison
logging layout with
an extensive
Standard Gauge rail
network
to produce a fully
integrated and
interactive SG/NG
layout.
By
incorporating
landscape based on
actual New Zealand
electronic map data
with specially
developed Nature
Series sets
(animated
waterfalls, river
splines, textures,
cliff splines, rail
ledge splines, rock
splines), Murchison
2 takes Trainz to a
new level of
realism. The result
is a photorealistic
colonial layout, set
in the steam/diesel
transition era, that
users can submerge
themselves in for a
complete interactive
rail experience.
Whether a steam-era
NG enthusiast, or
solely interested in
SG steam or diesel
operation, the 440
board Murchison 2
layout contains a
huge variety of
interactive and
inter-related
industries for
operational pleasure
that will keep the
train enthusiast
immersed for 100's
of hours of
interactive
operation.
Features:
Includes the
Nature Series Pack:
The Murchison 2 pack
includes the full
NATURE SERIES pack
of TRAINZ add-ons.
These are used
extensively in the
Murchison layout and
are also available
for use in your own
layout building (to
add that "extra"
level of photo
realism)

need to texture the layouts and lift the landscape to replace

Trainz Simulator
SETTLE & CARLISLE (TS2009, TS2010 & TS12)
We take
you to one of the most famous
and scenic British main lines at
the time of the transition from
steam to diesel power. With 10
different types of locomotives
and dozens of rolling stock
items at your disposal you
decide what train to drive.
Sessions featuring
Anglo-Scottish expresses, local
stopping trains, fast freights,
heavy mineral, slow pickup goods
or trip workings offer a rich
variety of services for your
enjoyment. The 87 mile route
from Skipton to Carlisle over
the wild and remote Pennine
moors will test your driving
skills and ability to keep to
schedule. Prototypical
topography, track plans,
gradients, stations, signal
boxes and signal placement,
viaducts and tunnels will
complete your experience. With
“Trainz Simulator: Settle and
Carlisle” you will almost
believe that you are there.
There is semaphore signalling
with new logic, and water
troughs to replenish the tender
whilst on the move. AWS
(Automatic Warning System) is
fitted to some diesel
locomotives to give advance
indication of the signalling,
this provides extra security for
the safe running of your
consist.
For this steeply graded route
large locomotives have been
provided, including the powerful
Britannia and A3 Pacifics, the
LMS 8F 2-8-0 and the BR 9F
2-10-0. The LMS 4F 0-6-0 is
included for the lighter trains
and for shunting work a choice
of the LMS 3F and the L&Y 2F
0-6-0 tank engines. All these
locomotives have a multiple
choice of running numbers and
adjustable headlamp codes. The
diesels include the large Class
40 (Whistler) and the versatile
Class 37. The smaller Class 24
is included for lighter duties.
For rolling stock there is a new
range of Mk1 coaches and an
impressive array of new goods
vehicles. These include the 4
and 6 wheel tankers, the
anhydrite hopper wagons, the
Presflo for powder loads. Other
goods vehicles will include a
variety of vans, open wagons and
flat tops to represent the
typical goods traffic of the
time. The ubiquitous brake van
has not been forgotten, of
course.
The route, rolling stock and
scenic items have been updated
or expanded since TC3 to take
advantage of the performance
enhancements now available on
the TS2009 platform and provide
a greater range of assets. There
have been several hundred
modifications and additions for
this release.
