Australia New South Wales Government Railways NSW Passenger Other Coaches Pack Version 2.0 BBS Files are dated January 2005 =========================================== Designed by Brian Bere-Streeter Email: bbss@bigpond.net.au Chief Executive Officer The Short North Carriage and Wagon Engineering Workshops Suppliers of Bespoke NSWGR Carriages and wagons for Microsoft Train Simulator - =========================================== 1. Model Details 2. Installation Notes 3. Historical Notes 4. Copyright, Distribution, Terms of Use =========================================== 1. Model Details Original 3D models of NSW Passenger Other Coaches - by Brian Bere-Streeter These new coaches came about, because of a need to create authentic sets of coaches for use on the Microsoft Train Simulator route - 'Coals to Newcastle' - by Peter Newell. To allow the formation of authentic sets of coaches the following coaches were created: TAM – Sleeping Car – Tuscan & Russet livery TAM – Sleeping Car – IndianRed livery (all others below in IndianRed) MAL -- Sleeping Car ACM – Sleeping Car First/Second Composite MFE – Second MCE – First/Second Composite Version 2 now includes: All carriages totally rebuilt – upgraded textures, improved bogies and wheels, handrails, footsteps, roof vents, screw couplers and brake pipes added. For full details of where these passenger coach types were used, refer to the ‘Train Compositions North - 1958’ document on the ‘Coals to Newcastle’ website – http://www.railpage.org.au/coalstonewcastle/index.php This document is available for download in Acrobat Reader V5 or later. Having spent some considerable time repainting others models, this is my fifth venture into building new rolling stock from scratch. I am not yet skilled enough to build transparent windows and interiors, but many of the other NSW coaches do not either. They may not be the most detailed or totally accurate, but in the absence of other better models, I hope you enjoy running them on your NSW routes in MSTS – at least it gives a bit more variety and authenticity to your passenger train workings. These models are for your personal use only, and may not be sold or distributed in any way without the original creator's permissions. =========================================== 2. Installation Notes Create a new folder called << AU_nswPassOther >> Unzip the files into a temporary folder, then copy and paste all of the files straight into the new PassOther folder (check the name to be sure). If you are adding these new Version 2 cars to an existing Version 1 installation, it is recommended that you totally delete all existing files in the AU_nswPassOther folder, as the new files may be completely different. You will need to create either a new consist to use these vans, or add them to an existing consist. Consists are made, or edited, using MSTS Activity Editor or Carlos Gomes’s ConBuilder. =========================================== 3. Historical Notes Prototype information for these models has been researched from the following sources: " Coaching Stock of the NSW Railways - Volumes 1 and 2 ", Cooke, Estell, Seckold and Beckhaus, Eveleigh Press, 1999 and 2003 " Time of the Passenger Train - First (and Second) Division" , Preston, Eveleigh Press, 2003 (and 2004) =========================================== 4.
