- Have you ever wanted to drive the SAR Rx class 4-6-0? Well now's your chance! This is my virtual model of the Rx class I have made for Trainz Simulator 19 and later, covering all operational variants from 1949 to the present day, available to download for free on my website!
Here are the links to my website where you can install them for free:
SAR - virtualsteamra...
ARHS - virtualsteamra...
This model comes with an original interior with working controls, authentic sounds, changeable destination boards, headboards and extras, PBR textures and 20 different loco variants and 12 tender variants!
The SAR Rx class was a series of 84 4-6-0 'ten wheeler' locomotives built between 1886 and 1916, over a 30 year period. 15 were initially built as R class locomotives abroad by Dubs & Co and locally by James Martin but these were later converted to Rx's around 1899 with higher powered and more efficient Belpaire boilers. These were the most predominant class of broad gauge locomotive in South Australia until the introduction of the much larger Webb engines in 1926. A group of Rx's, mainly some of the rebuilt ones were withdrawn and scrapped from 1927 to 1938, however the remainder of the class served on branch lines, shunting and light goods work until the mid to late 60's. Today, 10 Rx class locomotives still survive in preservation, including 5 plinthed in parks/playgrounds, 3 statically preserved and two in operational condition which are currently owned by SteamRanger Heritage Railway. This Trainz model represents how the class appeared in the 1950's and 60's, towards the end of steam operations in South Australia.
Rx207 is a North British built Rx, built in Glasgow in 1913 as a superheated variant of a R class, joining 83 other examples including the Rx's rebuilt from R class locomotives. The class was built for mixed traffic service on the Adelaide-Wolseley line, although was relegated to branch line use from the 1920's onwards. Towards the end of steam on the SAR, the last survivors of the class were put on shunting duties, and the occasional tour by the ARHS. In the 1960's, SteamRanger director Dean Harvey set aside 207 and 224 for preservation, which eventually became part of the SteamRanger collection. Rx207 has been in almost constant service with SteamRanger since, especially on school holiday Cockle Trains.
Rx224 is SteamRanger's other Rx class, being built in 1915 by Walkers Ltd, Maryborough, as with a saturated boiler rather than a superheated one, like 207. The engine was donated to SteamRanger in working order, some time in the 1960s and spent the next few decades hauling tours on the dwindling broad gauge network. The engine was taken out of service around 1990 due to a mechanical faliure and has slowly been restored back to operational condition.
There are currently 2 versions of the in service Rx class locomotives and 6 different tender types available for you to download both in accurate Broad Gauge as well as the Rob/Victrainz compatible Standard Gauge.
Loco variants: Saturated and Superheated
Tender Variants: Tapered Out, Normal, Tapered In, Self Trimming 6 wheel and Original 6 wheel.
There are currently 5 versions of Rx207 and 3 variants of Rx224 for you to download both in accurate Broad Gauge as well as the Rob/Victrainz compatible Standard Gauge.

Would’ve loved to have this, but I only have Trainz: A New Era.
That's a shame. You can always download my P class instead :)
:O I love this
Thanks!
You Really Did Some Great Detailing Man!
Nice Job! 👍
Glad you like it!
Hello, thankyou for helping me out with Trainz2019, I'm still learning all the features. I have downloaded the MT Barker TO Victor Harbour route and it is all downloaded along with dependencies but some dependencies say "Unknown Asset" therefor it says missing dependencies, and when I try to download them it says "asset not on download station" how do I fix this?
Sorry can't help you there.. i didnt make the route... you can still use the route though even with unknown dependencies
@@VT29steamtrain ok thanks I have like 5 routes with the same issue I’ll just use them because I see nothing missing
How do you change the number on it? I need a rx to be put as Rx191
Go into session editor, get either the 1926 or 1949 one, view loco properties and change number
Great Job? I have a question since i dont have TRS19. Are the graphics like that on high, or is that low?
Well you cannot install them on any version below TRS19 as their texturing is too advanced
Hey, love locos and tracks, the website has been down for a while now, is everything ok?
Hey mate I've addressed this issue with a few people already now but I feel my content is not good enough at it's current state, so I'm working on improving some of my models and will have the website back up some time soon. I am also extremely busy with my studies at the momenr and do not have any spare time to work on said projects for a little while longer. Thanks for understanding
Not good enough? are u kidding mate, they are awesome!! you should be proud of what you are doing, in fact if u had a donations setup i would donate to it. You have filled a hole many have been searching for with fantastic SAR loco's. I was horrified when the site was down thinking that was it! really look forward to your new work and good luck with your studies.
@@brynchanning7266 Honestly, what you've just said there is probably the nicest thing I've ever heard regarding my Trainz models. I'm happy that they are of value to someone, really means a lot to me, to hear a compliment about all the work i've put into them.
I've not had a good experience of the online Trainz community due to the general toxicity of some of the people, so the way things stand now is that there is no content "group" anymore but I am still working on my own projects as a sole creator. Thanks for your respect towards my work, I've put my all into it.
Mate, the world is full of armchair complainers who just seem to have nothing better to do, its sad really. The Rx mod is just fantastic and the 620 is awesome. People don't realise how much work goes into that, hell, you even did the cabs rather than a generic one, that alone is impressive work. Keep up what you enjoy doing and stuff the complainers, ten bucks says that they have never even tried to create something, and if they did, it'll be crap. Hanging out for the F class and whatever else you have. Its great work mate, keep it up.
@@brynchanning7266 The F class will come out eventually, I'm making that one to "payware standard" meaning it will likely be sold on the official Trainz store. Thats why it's taking longer than the rest of my projects i've done so far. I've also got an American Baldwin 2-6-2ST I am working on as well, which will eventually be out for free.
How do you add it to trs19 I just got the game, can you do a video to show people how, or just tell me in comments
Go on website, download both the engine and dependencies cdp files, open trainz content manager, click file then click import cdp, import the files and then ur done. Once the locos are installed, find them in content manager, if it says missing dependencies, right click them, click view dependencies and then right click any of the "available to download" dependencies. U should be gold to go then.
@@VT29steamtrain thank you, these are wonderful models, by any chance can u make a rx191 static and operational? Rx191 is my fav loco ever thank you:)
@@Railway4447 just change the running number to 191
@@VT29steamtrain thankyou for telling me about the missing dependencies part, it came up for me to, and thanks again.
@@Railway4447 is it working now
Is the Milang route at the start of the vid available to download? Also, I have finished the Rx reskin but what is the name of the file that contains the texture with the numbers on the headlight? It still says 207 and I need to make it nothing or 191.
-Max
@@Railway4447 the 207 is a mesh not a texture sorry, if i remember correctly the route is private
@@VT29steamtrain ok, is it same with Rx93 or still part of the mesh
@@Railway4447 yes
@@VT29steamtrain Could I delete the running number part in the config of the 1940 - 1960 one? And then texture it?
@@VT29steamtrain So could I do it with 93 or no thx for replying
Such a nice loco, did a brilliant job with both 620 and Rx but i have a question. Whats with the sound file starting off really good but suddenly the sound quality just disappears?
Would be a problem on your end, sound taken straight from my videos
hey do you use any publically available drawings as reference for your models? i've always wanted to 3d model these locomotives but i always get stuck trying to find decent references
Yes, I use drawings and diagrams found on google. What are you looking for in particular?
@@VT29steamtrain any Rx class or 620 class drawings would be great
@@zpirateko2129 I was able to find them on Google, just search up SAR 620 class drawings or SAR Rx class drawings
@@VT29steamtrain oh got them thanks
