When you cling to that last steam engine...

Post by Baldy's Boss »

Flartbourne Central is served by 15 trains.Two are on the New Paninghead service that comes over the bridge,and the other 13 on the legacy ChooChoo network.Here is a screenshot of the Rartown Brown Railroad Co.'s final steam engine,amid constant breakdowns,holding up all 12 of the others as it comes in for replacement by a Eurostar.

I often turn my steam trains into "Railtour" trains, doing laps of my entire network then waiting in a depot or siding for a month before starting again :) adds a little eye candy to things

Dedicated routes prevent impact on other trains,but there's no way to make a profit when a train breaks down every few tiles!

I also turn disused sidings into heritage tour lines instead of demolishing them, they are so popular with the people it can sometimes be hard to get a seat...

You must be the only person playing with breakdowns on!

Not at all.

I find with breakdowns enabled a much nicer challenge in making a properly functioning network.

Also, it makes engine choice much more meaningful.
Being a retired OpenTTD developer does not mean I know what I am doing.

It disturbs me that it's even possible to turn breakdowns off.
What a cheat!
