Three screenshots from a japanset game, these are about a year old.

Kelowna was the largest town in the map. If I remember correctly, it had pretty nice looking station, but unfortunately it seems that I don't have any screenshots of the station itself.

It is one of my favourite patches, not very useful from gamepaly point of view, but looks nice.
More old screenshots. Again Canset + ecs combo was used.

Gelsenkirchen. These stations will need heavy redesign in the future, but I can't afford anything better yet. The coal service to the Gelsenkirchen power station is my main source of income.

Krefeld, Wuppertal and Nürnberg, three small towns in the countryside north of Gelsenkirchen.

define "Tiny" anything over 100 inhabitants can be serviced by bus, over 500 by train (my personal opinion) certainly if you have a storyline

All towns can be serviced by trains IMO. But not cities over 5-6000 inhabitants.

No
Why can't trains service towns with a population over 6000?

With cargodest serving small towns is slightly more profitable. But yes, those trains are not making much profit(yet).
Anyway the railroad wasn't build just for those villages. From Nürnberg railroad continues over the mountains to Ingolstadt.

This one is just for beeb375. Not only am I serving tiny village, it's a tiny village middle of nowhere in difficult mountanous terrain.

Because it looks ugly with stations waaaay out in the edge of a sircular town...
I like starting when the cities are small, and then let the cities grow around them. Haven't you seen Ameechers shots!?
Edit: Hey, as. That hill climb shot is nice!

@ Benny - I sometimes just bulldoze my may through the middle, purchasing the land as I go. I'll already have a bus service or 5 keeping the town rating up so I can come back every so often and finish my station build.
Normally I'm in a town early on though so the above is on rare occasions really.

Oh I see what you mean now, and I have seen Ameecher's shots, have you seen mine?
Similarish style, although even more similar to JamieLei's...
Very nice shots these ones, and serving that village of 82 people is mad
Although I imagine with cargodest slightly less mad, so fair enough!
