Скачать

St.Ives (Named after the St.Ives Cathedral which overlooks the station) is the headquarters of the Flockton & Westbridge Valley Joint Railway. This route covers the short suburban stretch into the central station, the large surrounding Goods Yard, Carriage Sheds, and Loco depot, and the section of line running to Thornton Juntion where the Flockton and Waterdawn lines split to their respective destinations. This route can be used to depict the area in the Age of Steam, from the station yard's construction in the 1920's, through to the Early BR Days of the 1950's.
The route features:
- 5 platform central station, loosely based on Perth, Western Australia in the steam age.
- 2 large carriage sidings, and a large goods yard facility,
- A large Locomotive depot with a Coal tower 80ft Turntable, and servicing facilities for locos
- 2 suburban stations, both 4 platforms, but only 1 (Thornton Junction) with a smaller Goods yard and a converted loco-depot into a Carriage servicing facility.
- 8 Portals for Standard Gauge Trains, and 1 for the NG
- Narrow Gauge 24in Terminus and loco sheds, with 2 stations, and a goods transfer point for slate/stone.


CHANGELOG V1.1
Demolished old station by-pass line replaced with canal
- Rebuilt the northern section of the mainline to improve operations
- Updated Goods Yard to include Coal shed, transfer sidings to the industrial branch, and re-worked goods yard engine sheds.
- NG/SG transfer yard has been re-located to the west of the mainline, with a section of points crossing the mainline.
- St.Ives Loco depot has been rebuilt to the steam-era aesthetic, with an 11 road engine shed resembling East Perth.
- The southern mainline to Thornton Junction has been completely rebuilt, Meltham Street has been replaced by a 2 platform station beyond the loco depot, and Thornton Junction has been re-located to the South-west as opposed to dead-west in V1.
- A proper Fiddle Yard has been built at the north end of the route to simulate the coming and going of trains between St.Ives and Ellesville.
- Beyond Thornton Junction is the (Seriously W.I.P) Suburban Mainline section from Thornton to Armadale as far as Gravel hill siding. However beyond DANGLISH, the scenery is still quite bare and yet to be filled out.
- St.Ives now has an Industrial Branch serving the Dairy, Flour Mill, Timber Yard, Foundry, Furniture Factory, Coal Fired Powerhouse & Gas works (Yet to be built)
- St.Ives and Thornton Junction Both are controlled by ITE Interlocking Towers, controlling the points around the mainline and station loops.These can be interchanged with non-ITE Signal Boxes if the system proves to be dodgy.
- Danglish's yard has also been re-worked and made smaller to match the amount of traffic the station would realistically see on a day-to-day basis. Goods trains only have one entrance crossover to the goods yard to stop the pesky AI drivers sending passenger trains into the goods yard. Careful planning when shunting is required.

CHANGELOG V1.1.1 (Current Version as of 8-2-2025)
- Upgraded Gravel Hill Sidings to include a Gravity-fed Colliery screen, limestone loader with stone sorting conveyor, and a short 1/4 mile branch serving the farm of which the Paddock Gravel Hill colliery resides on.
- Rebuilt the Northern Mainline junction out of St.Ives, now has a better design simplified for better use with the Signal Box Rule included with the PLL DLC.
- The Western end of St.Ives (Controlled by SIC) has been re-built including re-arranged carriage sheds, the junction guarding the station, and the water columns in the station yard. instead of an up-up-down-down mainline setup the trackwork now has 3-line Up-down-Independent main as per the Perth WA 1974 Signal Box track diagram. What was the through down-slow line with a junction between platforms 4-5 is now a headshunt, providing better access to the water columns for arriving locomotives.
- Signals along the route have been swapped from a mix of UQ and LSWR Signals to a mix of Chrisaw's NER and M&H Lower Quadrant Signals.
- All the mainline Signal Boxes are setup to operate with the Signal Box Rule, They are coded as follows: FYN, SIB, SIC, MR, TJA, TJB, HWJ, DG, KPX, GH, DS. A dedicated session with the signal boxes rule setup for the route will be released to accompany this route eventually.
- Replaced the Fiddle Yards at the Ellesville Junction and Waterdawn Portals for invisible signals guarding trains going in and out of the portals. This is in preparation for the expansion of the route to include a section of the SI-EVJ suburban mainline.
- Thornton Junction has seen the signal and Box A end of the junction re-worked, Suburban trains from platform 4 can now cross the points onto the down slow line without interfering with any fast line traffic from platform 2.
- Thornton Junction Goods Yard and Loco depot has also been re-worked with the engine shed, turntable and coal + water facilities relocated to a better position to make room for the cattle docks being shifted towards the goods shed.
- Kelpie's Crossing has now been re-signalled and the goods yard re-arranged to better allow for marshalling mineral trains to Gravel Hill. This includes the re-locating of the Coal Staithes and Water Column to their current position next to the cattle docks. The Signal Box here has been relocated to the Down side of the line.
- Meltham Lane now has rebuilt points accessing the St.Ives MPD yard as well as the small goods yard on the Down side of the mainline.
STUFF I PLAN TO BUILD:
- The remaining city Scenery around St.Ives itself,
- St.Ives Gas-works
- Build the rest of Thornton Junction's townsite,
- Finish constructing the Pastures and cropping ground between Thornton and Kelpie's Crossing
- Build up Kelpie's Crossing itself to have a detailed goods yard, station and village
- Add a Fiddle Yard for the Waterdawn Portals (South-West of Thornton)
- Expand the Flockton/Armadale line to Armadale itself in phases. this next one being as far as Shenton Road.
Changelog V1.1.2:
Removed all SnC2 assets and other dependencies some players have been experiencing trouble with. This includes:
- replacing the Signal Box at Meltham Road, Thornton Junction Box A, the goods sheds at Danglish + Kelpie's Crossing, and the cattle docks at SI and THJ.
- All the Narrow gauge and industrial line junctions have now been named to make junctions easier to locate in the 'find objects' menu.
- fixing all the coal industries that have used a version of the coal asset I have now deleted.
- adjusted the canal boat system to run through the map with 2 portals at each end. only 1 canal boat can operate at a time.

Hopefully this should solve a lot of the issues players have been facing.

THIS ROUTE WAS BUILT IN TRS22 Platinum+ to work properly and needs the following DLCs:
- Healesville 19
- Settle & Carlisle
- Potteries Loop Line
- Liskeard - Looe
- ECML King's Cross - Edinburgh
- ECML Edinburgh - Dundee
All other assets should be found on the DLS. However if you cannot for whatever reason locate some kuid's not mentioned here feel free to contact me on the Trainz Forums
