Model Details 2. Installation Notes 3. Historical Notes 4. Copyright, Distribution, Terms of Use =========================================== 1. Model Details Original 3D models of NSW Passenger Vans - 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: VHO – Full Brake Gangwayed MHO – Full Brake Non-Gangwayed MHO – Full Brake Non-Gangwayed – Tuscan & Russet livery – new added model CHO – Full Brake Ventilated EHO - Full Brake High Roof EHO - Full Brake High Roof –Full Canopy Ends – new added model KL – Mail Van HKL – Mail/Brake Van KP – Mail Sorting Van BKD – Prison Van DMC – Dynamometer Car – new added model For full details of where these passenger vans 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. Version 2 now includes: All vans totally rebuilt – upgraded textures, see-through windows and interiors, improved bogies and wheels, handrails, footsteps, roof vents, screw couplers and brake pipes added. * Some cars containing a brake van section (the EHO) are now supplied in both Front and Rear versions for placing at the front of the train next to the locomotive and/or at the rear of the train. This is so the wheels and bogies will have the correct rotation, relative to the train direction. Also brake vans at the rear of the train will have illuminated tail-lights 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_nswPassVans >> Unzip the files into a temporary folder, then copy and paste all of the files straight into the new PassVans 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_nswPASSVANS folder, as the new files are completely different. As the EHO cars are now only available in Front or Rear versions, it is recommended that you check through ALL of your existing Consists and change any reference to EHO to EHO-Front or EHO-Rear as appropriate. 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, and Third) Division" , Preston, Eveleigh Press, 2003 (and 2004, and 2006) =========================================== 4.
