James wanted to see some shots from my game for which I posted the network map.
Well, here we go.

Shot 1, the southern end of the line is Peseux with it's rather messy station, wrapped around the local reffineries.

Shot 2 shows Dübendorf. The left most platforms were the first to be built, but nowadays is used only for local services and all freightservices roll trough that part. the middle three platforms are used by the Intercity services from/to Peseux and the right most three platforms are for the high speed ICE services from/to Köniz.

Shot 3 shows the recently extended station of Lancy. Nothing special here, except that it is very busy as all locals from the North end here as well as all the locals from Peseux.

Next is Liestal, which is quickly becoming the network hub. The city itself is growing quickly and the station is at absolute capacity. Several bypasses have been built to get at least the freight trains out of the mess, but still, the situation is all but good and during rush hours, queues are long not only for the trams.

Volketswil is another major junction station, where lines to Wohlen and Delemont branch off. Also several industries in the area add to the network congestion.

And finaly, we have Brig-Glis which also has been extended several times, also to make space for the 8 tiles long ICE services.

Wow, I spent a LOONG time watching those pictures!

Edit: And the .jpg format on some of the pictures made them even better.

Wow, I spent a LOONG time watching those pictures!

Likewise! So complex yet still looks really awesome!

[The Irish]

some random pics.

Quite formidable network. I never managed to make something like this earn money with cargodest

[The Irish]

I only started to make money in recent years (2000 plus), before that, I was always broke, sometimes I couldn't even afford a replacement loco, and for the first ICE train, I had to go back to the bank for a loan. Cargodest is really tough.

A recent excursion to Bremerhaven, a rather major port at the north coast of Germany has brought me to the idea to rebuild this harbour in TTD.

The port is split into several terminals, two of them are Eurogate where cars and other rolling material is loaded plus some container gates and further north is the NTB terminal, which is a container terminal only.
IRL, the port is host to the Maersk E-class ships, which are currently the largest container vessels in the world, holding up to 13.500 TEUs. Those are normally turned around at the NTB terminal with up to 6 gantry cranes at the same time.

At the Eurogate terminals most cars from Germany are exported world wide and most imports run trough this terminal as well. It can host up to 120.000 cars. When you drive trought the whole terminal, you can see every possible brand and model, it is really increadible.

The below is not at all to scale and not accurate, either, but it kind of shows the concept of the whole port.

I hope you like the shot.

[JamieLei]

Wow! What a port! That gives me ideas now!

[Badger]

Oh that's good! Just so very good.

Good stuff, I wanted to do Felixstowe but never bothered or had to the space to do it justice.

Thonhorst Airport, or rather Cuxhaven Airport, that't what it should be called.
With the recent update of the small regional railway's rolling stock to BR420, the mail services along the line has been replaced by road haulage.
the highway passing by the Airport is becoming increasingly busy, as more and more goods are hauled around, too.

[beeb375]

Hmm, why are you using the the North American roadset on the bridges and TTRS roads everywhere else?

[The Irish]

that's a very good question. I dont think there is a TTRS version of the TBRS, is there? it still looks better then the original roads, though, i think.

[Pingaware]

There is a TBRS newGRF with TTRS roads here. Just scroll down the page.

It's in the same post Paul!

[Benny]

I was just about to quote myself too. Thanks, Pingaware.

[The Irish]

I will give that a try.

Thanks guys.
