I am smitten with delight.

Mr. Jim Powers! Thank you very much for your kind attention to my website. It is going along very nicely. Here is the statistics for your two maps:
Russia Europart was downloaded 310 times
Russia Asiapart - 207 times
This will add you another 500 downloads, not that bad

As for the screensaver, I'm sure there is a program that can make screensavers out of pictures (i.e. screenshots). I'll try to find one and supply more information then.

Mr. Geo.c Ghost, Here's a "TTD-Squares" screenie with trains.

(BTW, I tried to get TT-forums to respond last night, but wasn't too successful. )

Always,
Jim Powers

that looks...
its just....
I cant think of the right word!
Beutifull!

Dear TTD Fans;

I present to you my latest (and greatest) scenario yet! This last scenario
is called "TTD - Squares"

This has been the most fun play-testing, that I've had in a long time, really. At first glance you'd
think it wouldn't be challenging, but, you're in for a 'run for your money'. With me not installing
any industries, guess what, you'll never know where industries will spring up.

That's one thing. Another is, without changing the city's landscape, you place your RR stations
only along the edges of the cities. There's very limited space and you must figure a way for the
trains to enter and exit, from both directions, without letting them jam up. Now, that's a whole
lot of thinking, my friends.

By now you know that the theme of "TTD - Squares" is TRAINS, TRAINS, AND MORE TRAINS!
You can expect hours of thrills and spills.

Always,
Jim Powers

This will go really well with the AU Set (lots of double-decker commuter trains), and the STA Set (trams/buses/light-rail).

Thanks for the inspiration Jim, saving it to my PC...


...now.

[SkeedR]

32 scenarios!!!
thats A LOT. well done jim!!!

[Lightglobe]

So downloading this one Jim, although I'm still going on your England map which is up to 2018. Always loved your work. Keep making these brilliant scenarios.

[Jim Powers]

Mr. Death;

That idea is that you are to have that responsibility. I'm playing this scenario. Right now
I want to make a highly effecient and profitable Passenger RR layout. I personally hate
"clogged" RR lines, due to an inefficient layout. So, after many enjoyable hours of figuring,
I'm starting to correctly lay these RR lines together. That was what I liked about one of my
other scenarios, "Mid Central rails". That scenario allowed me the same type of chance.
(Too bad not many people understood this.) Later, I will add the industries which I want,
and then connect them to complete the overall project. Meanwhile, one must contend with
those pesky ones coming when and where they want, which help make this an even more
challenging game, understand?

Mr, Raichase, First of all, Thank You and our pal Mr. Lakie for the scenario list being so quickly
updated. I really appreciate your faithfulness, and, of course you kind encouragement also, Sir.
This goes for my other TTD friends, Mr. Lightglobe and Mr. Weirdy, as well. Thanks Buddies.
Let's keep TTD alive and well forever!

Always,
Jim Powers

YAY!
Downloads and plays...

Downloads... and... Downloads.... erm....
Come on! Stupid slow internet! ¬¬

Typical isnt it?
Works fine till the time you want to use it!

Edit:
...and plays!

[Geo Ghost]

LOVE IT!
Jim, This map is fantastic! Well done!
Give your self a pat on the back from me!

[Jim Powers]

Mr. Geo.c Ghost;

"TTD - Squares" IS good. I'm playing the heck out of it.

Thanks for letting me know what you think of my scenario, Ol' Buddy.

Always,

Its probably one of the only games i havnt used cheats for to get started!
I made a reall interesting screen shot earlier. The map Certainly goes well with MB's small stations!

[Jim Powers]

Mr. Geo.c Ghost;

You've got the right idea goin', my Pal. Question, what's the problem with using "cheat"?

I simply think of it as a 'Federal Loan'. Which I mark down and then repay it at a later date.
I, of course, don't know about The UK, but, I do know that in The States we have an item
called 'Small Businessman' Loan', which is meant to help the entrepreneur
start his/her business.
It's a Federal loan, kinda like a 'Student Loan'. So, I don't feel guilty about using it.

Anyway, I also "Leap-frog" my Bus and Truck stations towards the center of town, so as to
attain a higher passenger/mail accumulation.

This is some close-ups of my layout. Thanks for the input, Sir.

Always,
Jim Powers

I loved TTD-Squares, Jim. Loved it to hell.
A bit too networky and drastic and crazy for me, but fun nevertheless.
Also, Grandeur Gardens (In my opinion) is much better, cause it has hills and stuff, and spaces in between towns and in the suburbs to place massive stations in.
Meanwhile, TTD-Squares leaves you little choice in between cities, cause it's either a Terminus, or a cramped RO-RO.

Either way, both are nice, but Grandeur Gardens is much better.

[Jim Powers]

Mr. CeleronXL;

You make a good point, My Friend, and I always welcome input!
I know one thing for sure, and that is "Grandeur Gardens" is, by far, the most beautiful and also
one of the most difficult to make. It sure took me long enough to create it. On the other
hand, I just like making an effective Railroad system. This gives me the greatest satisfaction.

Did you use the water for transporting? I wound up using the canals and such more than any
other type of transit in this scenario.

Now, I'm back on Trains and "TTD - Squares", and really enjoying it. Thanks for writing.

Always,
Jim Powers

Mr. Geo.c Ghost;

You've got the right idea goin', my Pal. Question, what's the problem with using "cheat"?

Theres no problem with the cheats, i just didnt want to use them for once
Its more of a challenge now. I had a huge circular railway going, and one town wont let me build a station. Ohwell, thier loss
Typical though...
I was building this railway, then all of a sudden, a power station is build right in my way! oh well. Slows the trains down a little when they go around it, but it was rather funny!
Brillient Scenario Jim!

[RPharazon]

Jim: I didn't use the canals very much, I thought they were just there for decoration!
Mostly, I just raised the canals around the roads to let my MASSIVE system of trains from Rockford to New London/Albany Suburbia (The one with the 4 industries) get there faster without having a big lineup stretching the entire way.

[Death]

Jim, I undrstood what you had said.
Thank you.

Death.
