<kuid2:368725:25051:1> NSW S008 S016 S024 grain silos, workhouse plus optional 1 or 2 bins, gravity feed

Скачать

A 1920-design workhouse receiving grain by road and loading grain to rail wagons in NSW. In addition to workhouse grain storage, total storage can be increased by the addition of 1 to 2 cylindrical silo bins, each of 800 tons or 1.02 million litres capacity.
The user sets the number of storage bins by opening the asset's Properties editor in Surveyor. LH click on the 'Number of bins' hot button to cycle through numbers 0 to 2.
Drivable trucks loaded with grain may unload into the grills under the road shed. NSWGR BWH and RU type grain hoppers may load under the jib over the asset's fixed track. Central load ports are assumed unless WSP (Wagon Service Points) information is provided in the config file's 'extensions' container. An example of WSP parameters to oontrol off-centre loading points is provided in <kuid:368725:15044-46> 'NSWGR RU 4-wheel wheat wagon'.
The sequential loading of rail wagons is by gravity feed. Loading is one wagon at a time at the rate of 126500 litres (100 tonnes) per hour.
The grade on the asset's fixed track is 1 in 100, and a similar grade should be given to the flexible track attached to either side of the fixed track. The empty wagons are pushed by locomotive to the high end of the siding.
In the real world, shunters would uncouple several empty wagons at a time, gravitate them down to the loading point, load these wagons, then gravitate them to the low end of the siding. Repeat this procedure until all wagons are loaded.
In Trainz, the asset script detects the empty wagons, uncouples a rake of up to 4 wagons at a time, releases the hand brakes on the rake so that it falls towards the silo loading jib, then stops each wagon in a rake under the jib. Once a rake is loaded, the brakes are again released so that it gravitates to the low end of the silo siding.
Loading one RU wagon will take 15 minutes at realistic speed. This can be accelerated by the user in the Properties editor.
A naming convention must be followed to establish a relationship between track marks and junctions used to find and set paths during the script-controlled loading operation.
There can be up to 4 'Empty' sidings upgrade from the silo and 4 'Full' sidings downgrade from the silo. The Empty sidings are collectively referred to as the 'Empty nest'. Similarly, the Full sidings are referred to as the 'Full nest'.
At the downgrade end of each siding there must be a track mark facing upgrade. These are named to identify the silo, the nest and the switching path required to access the siding from the silo loading bay.
Please read the document 'readme.txt' included with this asset to obtain details of the naming convention applying to the silo, the junctions and track marks.
If the location at which the silo is to be placed did not or cannot have a grade on the tracks, use asset <kuid:368725:25054> 'NSW S008 S016 S024 grain silos, workhouse plus optional 1 or 2 bins, engine tow'.
