¶ Overview
- Primarily Automatic running
- Drive on the left (Australian/NSW Adherence)
¶ Industries/Stations
¶ Standards
¶ Rolling Stock
¶ Stations
¶ Passenger stations
All stations are to be 6 blocks wide, with accessible above or below stairs if tracks either side.
Stations that are either side of tracks, need to be 4 blocks deep, with a track gap of 2.
Track should have 1 block gap between both sides, half slabs are allowed against the station itself.
All main stations need to be 400 blocks long minimum to accomdate standard passenger trains.
¶ Mainline Inner Passenger station Layout
They must include audiable notfications for inbound trains, freight (not stopping) and passenger (list stations)
¶ Cargo Station / Terminus
Must be large enough to handle required cargo, or splitting of cargo with a head end large enough for 3 Loco's
Must have at least 3 block wide platform, either on one edge or inbetween each track or surrounding
¶ Track
¶ 90 Curves
- Mainline curves must be a minimum of 400 blocks - 100-200km/h
- Heavy Branch lines must be 200 blocks, speed of 50-70 km/h
- Yard or rarely used branches must be 100-150 blocks, speed of 15-20km/h or less
¶ Tunnels

They must be a minimum of 15 blocks high
¶ Bridges / Track Clearance
Any Bridge, or crossing track must be at least 15 blocks higher then the underneath track

¶ Sand Port Track Design
¶ Port Switches
Initially placed as 75 block switch turn right, once corrected placement from pixel to fix using spike, reduce length to 23.
¶ Automation - Signal Blocks
-
Manual driving should still be functional and trigger a signal block & clear
-
Mainline Stopping distance requires 400 blocks minimum
- Automation requires 'soft' breaking at 300, 200, 100 intervals
-
BranchLine stopping distance requires 200 blocks minimum
- Automation requires soft breaking at 200, 100, 50 intervals
¶ Other - General
¶ Power lines
- Powerlines must be 82 blocks high at each connector
