NZ Route available

brooksy · Post by **brooksy** » Wed Sep 04, 2002 12:55 am

For all New Zealand expats and others who may be interested, I have uploaded my interpretation of NZ railroading to the train-sim.com site.
This route is a combination of English and USA architecture in keeping with the nature of NZ railways.
Essentially a branch within a branch and features the model building skills of Captain Bazza to give a distinctly NZ feel.
Six months in the building this route has been an experiment and experience in getting to grips with the charms of the route editor in preparation for modelling a local tourist route, the Central Otago Taieri Gorge.
Be warned, this route is very intensively sceniced and will not give acceptable frame rates on any system of less then 600mhz.
Cheers

If you mean Taieri Independent Timber Co. - parts 2 and 6 don't seem to have made it there!

I look forward to seeing it. Does it have any activities to go with it? And what sort of stuff should I run along it? Diesel or steam? What engine? What rolling stock please?

Part 6 is available now, not sure where part 2 has got to though.

I found a Climax 0-2-2-0 from Captain Bazza at train-sim.com but that is all they have (so far).

Part 2 was uploaded and seems to be missing from the downloads.
I have contacted Nels at flight sim to see what has happened to it.
The route is set up to allow a couple of start points in explore but no other activities are included in the international version.
That will be my next step for the route.
A cd version is circulating in NZ that has an activity requiring all of the rolling stock produced by Captain Bazza. This was left in as the best of my signal testing activities.
The route does not support electric loco's nor is it suitable for large consists.
I am looking at arrangements to have the route available on the UK site.
Cheers

Neville,

Any chance of uploading the test activity here?

Regards,

Bob.
